10. Last night, some asshole put a sign for a school board candidate who I do not support very close to my house.

And yes, I've talked about this Shit For Brains MAGA psycho conspiracy theory queen before multiple times here. To see a campaign sign for her like that right next to my house is absolutely infuriating me to no end.

Since I was told that I can't remove it, I'm seriously thinking of putting up my own sign with my definition of what "parental rights" really is - it's coded incitement for batshit Fox addicted psychos to harass educators for not kowtowing to Rupert Murdoch's fascist agenda and doing the dirty work of the billionaire criminal class for free. In the words of Animal House - don't get mad, get even!
