Political Signage BS

This really pisssed me off today
I have my own political views, but can discuss them in a non-hostile manner...
There's this house on a well traveled road in town with a very large banner, gotta be 2' x 8' attached to their wooden fence...
Sign reads... "F#*K BIDEN" ... but spelled out correctly..?????

Look I understand some are very passionate about their political views, beliefs, whatever, and you have that right to feel as you do, but does everyone's children need to see this profanity so out in the open. Sure, I see the decals on vehicles, but this sign is HUGE and screams read me...I'm guessing or hoping that they don't have young children at home, but dammit, have some courtesy for those who do.

Does that make them feel like some type of hero, tough-guy, .... there are plenty of different words you can use to get the same point across.... just pisses me off that I have to use a different road when I have young children in my vehicle because of idiots like this.... I know guys on here have had some heated debates in that forum, I just hope you all know that some of us agree with your thoughts, but appreciate some common decency for the sake of our children.

GROW THE HELL UP

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

Same is happening in Plymouth, the clown puts a new sign up every few weeks, thankfully without the F word mixed in, but really objectionable to the neighbors. They approached to town about any local ordnance’s but they told them their hands were tied. My son lives directly across for someone who must spend hundreds on the Trump signs on his lawn, house and barn. Angry people who can’t accept the election, clearly they also have no thoughts for the feelings of their neighbors.

Would you prefer a world tour of a statue of Biden with his Schwanstucker hanging out?

One side did this the past 4 years, not surprising the other side is returning the favor.

It's friggin childish whichever side is doing it.

That’s my beef, have all the signs you want but keep the ‘#^&#^&#^&#^&s’ out of it. There are a few trucks around here with the windows lettered that way. And would have felt the same way had they been #^&#^&#^&#^& Trump signs from the last 4 years.

wrong at any time.

I only saw vile Trump stickers/signs on the web. I can find a vile Biden sign w/in a mile of my house. I see one about 30 feet up between 2 trees on a $2M house in Westport Ct on my bike rides and another smaller one at a crappy house who constantly has signs complaining about some govern. injustice.

don't fret...this will make it easier for the authorities to find them and send them off to re-education camps
