Why the need to put large political signs in one's yard?

Around here, the majority of people vote for the same party in every election so signage isn't usually a problem.
The "problem" comes with college football flags and banners :ROFLMAO:
Some can't stand the Alabama Crimson Tide and others detest the Auburn Tigers.
You have to be for one or the other of those in-state rivals LoL.

I know what you mean. My wife is from Mobile. Her dad went to Tuscaloosa, but her mom went to Auburn. The SEC season was always interesting...;)
I'm actually a Bama fan, even though I live in Mississippi.
 

I see Robbi gave up and swung his gate open to the Donald’s fan club.
I had so many good hopes for Rob, guess he wants a cabinet spot or something.
 
Weirdness seems to be increasingly standard in American politics. And how about the “brain worm” thing? Perhaps we should screen political candidates for them! After all, I want to know whether I’m voting for someone, or the parasite which controls them… 😸

I’m reminded that there was an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where Picard and Riker had to phaser the bejeezus out of command’s leadership because they were infected by a parasitic being… 🙀 This would both eliminate bad-acting politicians, and reduce costly pension expenses …

Not to mention, very entertaining.
 
It does help to have candidates who are grounded in reality with some notion of policy positions though. Not everyone can build a political career on their backs rather than by being elected.

Here’s the sign in my front yard.

If you ever get into Mo. you have to drive Rt. T at least 2 times. Not spring or fall but mid summer and do it wisely. You want hills and valleys and curves and stuff. It’s sort of like a fast Elevator ride at the right speeds. Caution watch for big equipment on the move thought. So many hills and curves. T off of 15 South of Memphis west is best. Think, Hill Billy Heaven.

New Bridges, best darn kept 2 lane rural highway I ever crossed. Not to be done after a gulley
washer though.
 
My neighborhood generally has a longstanding unspoken agreement. People rarely put up lawn signs, particularly not for presidential candidates (for all the good it would do - California is reliably blue). Sometimes there will be a sign for a down ballot issue or candidate (school board type elections), but even those are uncommon.

I have strong political leanings but don't indulge in signs or bumper stickers that could make my home or vehicle a target for vandalism.
 
I've never put up political signs. To me that's private and my opinion is certainly not going to change how anyone else is going to vote. Only thing would be if in the voting booth someone got a brain freeze and could only think of the name hanging on my fence. Yeah right. :rolleyes:
 
I've never put up signs like that. No one in my family has. I think its in poor taste, but whatever.
