I have no problem with anyone putting a candidate sign out on their lawn, it’s when the message takes a low blow shot at anyone with an opposing view I have a problem. So in my neighborhood there are a mix, but one in particular I think could make your next door neighbor pissed says make the left cry again.

Still can't get an answer why is Trumps face on Rambos Body carrying a machinegun rocket launcher or his face on George Washington's Body or rocky. I see it as pro Trump I get that but I cant see it as Pro USA symbolism
John. agitprop? Really. communist political propaganda promulgated chiefly in literature, drama, music, or art.
You think this is mainstream Democrats,, love to see some examples. That's compare those flag

No, but I know enough of history to know what starts with marxists riots, breaking stuff, demanding what is acceptable speech, and redistributing property doesn't end there. BTW - stuff that predates the cold war.

With all that knowledge one would think you would be seeing a country sliding headfirst into authoritarianism.

Some push it (both sides, Wayne). there is a guy that has a Liquor, Guns, Bacon, and ... flag flying. Worth a minor chuckle, but otherwise tasteless. Guy a few doors down flies a BLM flag.

Mainstream Democrats? Agitprop? The CCCP / Socialist Fist? Old Soviet stylistic art? Like the Obama Hope poster?

substantial majority of Portlanders — 74 percent — consider themselves to be liberal on social issues, compared with 35 percent of the rest of the region and 36 percent of the rest of the state.
But like most conservatives they want to spin this elaborate story that what's going on in Portland is tied to some grand national movment of the democratic party .
So places like fox and other conservative media outlets play the same loop day after day and have the base convinced its every where
here's a local example of conservatives and Trump supporters over reaction and gullibility, I have a brother in law who is a rabid Trump fan. Who informs me at a cook out about QAnon. And how yesterday Sunday BLM and Antifa were decending on a Trump flag store and he and others were going to defend the store . At 6pm. So yesterday 150 Trump supporters set up shop flags lawn chairs at the closed business majority Mask less no social distancing. . and guess who's shows up 2 18 years old with homemade signs. Simple masks no hoods no back pack or Antifa markings. One saying BLM and 1 saying G Floyd Rest in peace.. and in typical Trump support er fashion one guy got in their face screaming sun tans dont make you BLACK . Over and over . I guess he was suggesting your white you shouldn't be supporting a different race
Those 2 young Girls had some guts for showing up
Ps still haven't seen an explanation on who are these strongman flags directed at? Russia China or Americans who dont support Trump... .?

Clearly not you but then you. Dont care about dignity, respect, compassion, honor , decency, accountability or basic competence .. or. Truth or the ability to actually tell it from the leader of the free world
Many of the traits all past Presidents possessed some more than others
But who does Trump and his supporters model him after Vladimir Putin
An actual communist and socialist Strong man
And they cant even see it happening
Here are some Trump supporters
If Russia assists MAGA Candidates on the internet in this year’s midterms, that’s not the end of the world.” And others re-upped a C-span clip from the day before in which a caller identified as Mary Lou from Connecticut said, “I’ll try not to sound too awful, but I want to thank the Russians for interfering with our election to stop Hillary Clinton from becoming president. That woman has got illusions of grandeur.”
And now Trump reportedly wants Putin summit before November election
Putin's Image Rises in U.S., Mostly Among Republicans
today.
Americans' Favorable Ratings of Putin, by Party
2015 2017 Change%
%
pct. pts.
Republicans 12 32 +20
Independentx 12 23 +11
Democrats 15 10 -5
GALLUP
Trump's friendlier approach toward Putin appears to have garnered more positive feelings from members of the president's party toward the Russian leader ... now way how could that poll show a plus 20 jump but Republicans keep saying Democrats what the United states to a communist socialist nation?.

Blah, blah, talking points. Mostly repeated mantras meant to create a basically false picture of Trump. That is, mostly the repeated lies that have become "truth" for you.

Wow . . . the Independents had a big jump in approval too. The Independents are trending commie!
Oh, not that it's meaningful or important to you, but the Communist Party USA works with and in support of the Democrat Party. And their platforms have been consistently similar. Maybe the Republicans are getting more jealous and are saying "Hey, help us too. We are having more positive feelings toward Putin!"
Or maybe it's a rather meaningless poll in regards to our trending toward socialism. It's the Progressive Democrats (and outright socialist Democrats) that have a serious problem with capitalism.

If the Republican Party totally flipped and became as Progressive as the Democrats, there would no longer be any need to support them or the Dems, nor Biden or Trump. It might then be too late, but at that point our support would shift to the Libertarians.
