placing campaign signs

I think, i have put a Democratic sign in front of my house since 1996. The last few times, they were all taken in the night. The 2004 Obama sign was taken the quickest, i put a second one up. Trumpsters are rabid, i think i will not put up a sign this year. I live in northeast Ohio.

Some trumpsters go out of their way in their visual display of fealty to their false god:

I have also noticed how ultra vigilant is their radar to anything that may be critical of Orange Caligula. And how quickly, and passionately they respond with anger. They are more sensitive than the princess who slept atop forty mattresses, and was discomforted by a pea at the bottom.

We always have our signs stolen but decided we will put them out during the day and take them in at night. Screw the bastards.

I took my Biden - Harris yard sign and wove the wire "legs" through the mesh on my chain link gate. I then secured the top corners with heavy cable ties. We'll see if it lasts until November.

They're about $45, and install it in a discrete location watching the sign. You can turn the video over to local law enforcement.

Then put up another sign next to the ByeDon sign that reads, "Every time you steal this sign I send the Biden/Harris campaign another $25. They thank you for the contribution."

Hang a sign --- safely please --- on a highway overpass.

These kinds of places need not be near your home. 10-20 miles away, 1-2 hours after bar time.

We have 3 rail board fencing lined with wire farm fence. Of course, no one would see it anyway....

13. My Biden/Harris sign is out for delivery today! ❤️ I live in VA

so we have not had any issues with people stealing our sign. Plus I have two security cameras in our front yard so that would probably deter people. I can’t wait to get it out because I have a few Trump supporters around me. One has a huge Trump flag that covers most of his garage wall. Glad it is not outside. However, he leaves his garage open so we can still see it.
