Oh yes. Trump’s making a pretty penny off it.

Those small yard signs are typically free. You can go to the local party headquarters and get them.

Right!
I couldn't imagine feeling passionate enough about any party candidate that I'd go out and buy campaign merchandise for them - let alone decorate my house with it

Got my application to vote by mail. Will vote at least 3x.

Vote Biden or else

Bloomberg giving Biden $100 MM in Florida

that must mean it's close there

It worked it Guam.

The media is basically just speaking civil war into existence at this point.

Yep, this whole political signage on personal property thing is totally ridiculous to me. I kind of assume anyone with political signage out front of their house is likely a bit...stupid? Like, moronic stupid?

I'm pretty ho-hum about Biden, but if I lived next to that Trump guy, I'd dedicate a significant portion of my salary to Biden signs.

Do people in other countries do this weird shit?

Yes. When I have traveled internationally close to other countries’ election days, I have seen these signs around.

Thank God, I see some of those Iowa ads occasionally

In fairness, I understand this. You didn't make the rules but this is the way the fight is fought in the US.

Do you think that the signage actually sways voters though? I can see some people going with "majority rules" when seeing a ton of blue or red signs about the place.

I can't imagine it makes a difference in the Presidential election, but I'm certain people vote locally for people "they've heard of," and the reason they've heard of the candidate is because they read their name on 500 signs around town. I may have even been guilty of such intellectual laziness.

Do those Trump flags come in a kit or something? You never see just one, it's always the giant flag, two banners, and at least a couple of yard signs. The asshole neighbor starter pack.

FWIW Trump signs seem to outnumber Biden signs like 2-1 around here.

I'm actually fully talking about generic "Trump" and "Biden" signs. I understand local candidate signage. At the end of the day those guys are the only ones who could actually do something that genuinely affected you personally.

Anyone with a trump sign in their yard is just trying to swing their dick around, not convince swing voters. It's not even signs that are MAGA go to's, it's flags.

That I can understand.

Presidential yard signs aren’t meant to sway undecideds, they’re meant to motivate other supporters in your community. To say “you’re not alone, and we can do this.” There’s plenty of research out there demonstrating that while yard signs for big elections don’t change minds, the presence of such community facing props in an area correlates to a greater share of a candidate’s supporters showing up on Election Day.

It could be that yard signs are just more likely to appear in communities where the candidate’s supporters are more motivated in general, and they’ve got this whole thing backwards. But growing up in South Dakota, seeing the occasional Democrat candidate sign was reassuring, because I didn’t really have any other evidence that anybody around me felt the way I did. And in such a divisive election, I think it’s good for people in this country to be reminded that the “enemy“ they face is often the nice couple right next-door.
