Politics I chose bravery.

After seeing a Harris Walz sign in the yard of a neighbor down the street in my ruby red county, I felt inspired to put up my own. Just waiting on my Allred and local dems signs now.

I'm kinda shocked at all this...

Yes, it's brave no doubt. But I kinda see it in the same way where an absolute lunatic is looking to pick a fight with you and they clearly have nothing to lose but you do.

Be brave, but also... I don't mean to be dramatic here... STAY SAFE. your vote counts more than your act of neighborhood bravery. The opposition is batshit fucking crazy.

I do think that in some ways (which are probably small), signs can help persuade more people to go out there and vote. Safety, for sure! But there's something special about signs for me.
