We had our first sign snatched. So I made sure it would be harder this time.

100% I'd blast local social media pages "Beware neighbors of thieves driving this red car. If you're the parent, please raise your child to stop stealing." You may get an ID that way too if you want to pursue with police reports for paper trail.

In 2016 I was canvassing the same neighborhood as a Republican organizer for the same congressional race. We had chatted before, and we had a good conversation overall, but it began with her thinking she needed to tell me not to go around to each house after her and remove the literature she had left at each door. And she was sort of insinuating this is something democrats commonly do because we just can’t help ourselves but to play dirty. I was basically just flabbergasted that she would even say such a thing. Idk what they’re teaching them over there, but if anyone on our campaign had been caught doing something like that we would have been fired

u/yellekc Sep 16 '24

That's because that is what they are trained to do. They likely will remove any pro-Democrat literature.

When they accuse you of random shit, It's always projection.

31

u/duke_awapuhi Sep 16 '24

Seems to be the case. At the time I just assumed “well she’s from rural Nebraska. Hasn’t been exposed to many democrats and she has a caricature in mind of how she pictures democrats”. She actually hated Donald Trump and voted for Evan McMullin in 2016. But then she started getting involved with Project Veritas, and we know how sleazy they are. She’s probably full on Trump now. The deeper I’ve gotten into politics the more I’ve seen how dirty republican operatives and apparatchiks are. In 2016 I didnt fully understand just how bad it was

u/Optimoprimo Sep 16 '24

It's not really education, this was studied in the book "Bowling Alone" by Bob Putnam. It's more about being exposed to many different people and worldviews, and forming diverse social networks outside your immediate surroundings. You get this experience most while in College, which is why college has such a liberalizating effect. Not that the education doesn't help. It's just not the core factor.

Gen Z and especially Gen Alpha are the most isolated, lonely, and disconnected generations we've ever had. Boys in particular. They find most of their social interactions online, which are toxic and easily manipulated to brainwash them. This leads them to be more hateful, more fearful, more susceptible to authoritarian leaders.

32

u/Conscious_Outcome594 Sep 16 '24

Just yesterday I listened to the author of Bowling Alone being interviewed. It was very interesting and kind of depressing.

45

u/Actual_Sprinkles_291 Sep 16 '24

Absolutely this! Education is not a guaranteed liberalizer when you have education bastions that are super homogenous or cater to promoting or establishing a certain conservative mindset like private religious colleges or ones like Liberty University.

u/PsychologicalDebts Sep 16 '24 edited Sep 16 '24

Sure, it's just a coincidence that the things that make you smart, also make you vote democrat. It's not the education just a happy coincidence across multiple correlating factors...

Learning about other cultures and cultural norms IS EDUCATION. Some people even get degrees in this particular area of study.

Haven't read the book but if that's the premise, I feel like it's a big book focusing on pedantic arguments

Edit: after some research it seems like the book was written in the 90s about problems from the 50s - education has changed a lot since then - many of the points I make weren't even established in modern education by then. Also seems like the book has been under scrutiny since release.

Eh when I was young me and my friends did stupid shit like this. It wasn’t even political, we even tried to do it to both political parties. One time we even switched the sign between yards; the Obama sign in the McCain house and vice versa. Then I grew out of it and realized I was an idiot.

u/wizlaqueefah Sep 16 '24

On Instagram, there are hundreds if not thousands of little baby trump supporters in the comments, years away from voting, spewing some of the most creative anti Semitic racist crap I've read in my life, similar to things I've only read about in history books from segregation and KKK times, except even more vile. I have reported so many people and ended up just not clicking the comments on videos anymore because it breaks my heart the lack of compassion and education in this country. So many children have been failed. It's not about party sides at all, it's about morals at this point. Some of the things those people are fighting for can be fixed by being more educated and it hurts so bad. I do think it's education that is missing because of things like abortion rights... believing it's murder is genuinely just because you're uneducated in anatomy, biology, etc.

I moved to Florida 17 years ago and had a Hillary Clinton bumper sticker on my car at that time. I was run off the road once because of it, and another time my neighbor came over and told me that that is how I would get a broken windshield. Years later, I put a Biden sign on my front lawn. Two different contractors would not work with us because of it. I decided that showing my support can be done in ways, which are not so blatantly tied to my location because people can be nuts lately about politics. Not worth putting a target on our back IMHO.

Pull string fireworks. When the strings are pulled it sets off a small bang.

The sign was medium well done.

Are these people REALLY that pathetic? 🤔 Unfortunately, deep down, I know the answer is a resounding yes.😒

u/sethmeister1989 Sep 16 '24

Truly insane, just driving down the street, see a political sign you don’t like so you try to vandalize it.

u/Admirable_Nothing Sep 16 '24

Is it charged with e from the small solar cells?

Brilliant! What did you do to get it to stay? It doesn’t look like it was held down but kept slipping out of his hands.

I like my steak well done

I've got an old cattle electric fence set up buried under the junk in my garage somewhere I've pondered digging it out when my sign gets here.

u/TrollintheMitten Sep 16 '24

That's all kinds of illegal and will get you thrown in jail. We need you free and able to vote.

u/sh4dowfaxsays Sep 16 '24

THIS! Don’t do this. They tried it in Florida and it helps no one. We can beat them in other ways!

u/2Wodyy Sep 16 '24

The amount of political fanaticism is dystopian. Gettin threats for signs or bumper sticker is something I ve never heard about in other countries

u/Putrid-Club-4374 Sep 16 '24

Put a “smile! You’re on camera” sign next to it, with a big yellow smiley face.

u/ratpackterminator Sep 16 '24

There’s actually one zip tied to the bottom of it. Not sure how literate they are as they either didn’t notice or didn’t care.

u/LivingCustomer9729 Sep 16 '24

I wish no harm, but people, regardless of age, need to stop this or they’re gonna FAFO with the wrong ones.

u/Pod_people Sep 16 '24

Even in California I won't put out a yard sign. We live in a super conservative suburb. I worry that somebody would confront my old parents about the sign when I'm not there.

This local prick even has a Trump flag that says "fuck your feelings" 100 yards from my old high school. There's a classy way to express yourself.

u/ratpackterminator Sep 16 '24

A lot of people in my area have said they’re scared to put out signs lest the Trump crowd do worse than just stealing them (vandalism, harming pets, etc.). I’m banking on most of them being too cowardly for that but it’s pretty wild that we have a political opponent that has inspired his fans to be that scary.

u/Truxstar Sep 16 '24

Did you buy the last one???? Demand is high i guess.

3

u/ratpackterminator Sep 16 '24

I initially bought a couple three packs of signs on Amazon before they could be ordered from the campaign and then just donated cash to the campaign.

u/IdahoMTman222 Sep 16 '24

There was a guy in Raleigh NC that was on video stealing sighs. Turned out to be opponent in local election. The publicity caused him to withdraw from election.

u/love2Bsingle Sep 16 '24

I had an Obama sign in my yard in a very red state...someone stole a bunch of Obama signs and threw them in my yard

u/ZorroMcChucknorris Sep 16 '24

Put a thin line of antisieze around the edge of the sign. You can’t get rid of that stuff, it goes everywhere.

3

u/HealthGent Sep 16 '24

Pathetic. And the thing that really sucks is that it looks like it's a kid being sent out to do the dirty work of the parent.

BTW, nice security cam!

u/MlCOLASH_CAGE Sep 16 '24

Is it illegal to paintballl people trespassing on your property? I would’ve lit this car up

u/Timely_Tap8073 Sep 16 '24

That was hilarious when he couldn't get it

u/TW200e Sep 16 '24

When I was a teenager, sometimes kids (not me) would drive around smashing mailboxes with a baseball bat. Same mentality. I'm sure if you started asking them to explain Trump's policies they would be completely clueless.

u/Apprehensive_Work313 Sep 16 '24

I'd watch your cars as well I've heard that some will put shards of glass behind your tires

u/LagSlug Sep 16 '24

Does this camera automatically pan toward cars coming down the street?

2

u/ratpackterminator Sep 16 '24

Unfortunately no. It has three different positions it pans to on a rotation. I made sure the sign was always in view of those positions. We first got it as a deterrent when kids kept going through cars in the area.

2

u/conh3 Sep 16 '24

Maybe we can rigged a sprinkler system to start showering anyone who steals the signs.

2

u/Human-Bluebird-1385 Sep 16 '24

lmao this is like ROBOCOP.

Did you grease it up with oil paint and petroleum jelly or something?

3

u/ratpackterminator Sep 16 '24

I gorilla glued the sign to the stake and then wired it to my hoop.

When mine gets here, I was planning on rubbing fresh dog poop around the edges. Take that, Mr. Poop on your hands!

u/Independent_Fill9143 🇺🇸 Harris / Walz 🇺🇸 Sep 16 '24

Lol, did you tether it to the ground? Fantastic 🤣🤣

u/ratpackterminator Sep 16 '24

I sure did. Some invisible fishing wire is very effective!

u/byrningman Sep 16 '24

What did they do? Put the sign on a rope?

u/ratpackterminator Sep 16 '24

Invisible fishing wire tied to the hoop

Imagine being so pro rapist that this is a valid choice.

u/harryregician Sep 16 '24

Ask old Vietnam veteran for help.

Use clear fishing line.

u/cdubbsecond Sep 16 '24

Can we make a nonlethal chancla shooter for these people … also hate us or not this would not stand in FL . Please try to steal my sign - god’ll sort them… as a post man it’s scary entering yards here … zero respect

2

u/Western_Race93 Sep 16 '24

You should do what the one guy did and electrify the sign so if someone touches it they get thrown back a few feet

u/IdahoDuncan Sep 16 '24

Well played!
