The party’s brand is so toxic in the small towns 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh that some liberals have removed bumper stickers and yard signs and refuse to acknowledge their party affiliation publicly. These Democrats are used to being outnumbered by the local Republican majority, but as their numbers continue to dwindle, the few that remain are feeling increasingly isolated and unwelcome in their own communities.


Hey. Welcome to the real world.

I've posted a lot in here about how you wouldn't ever catch me dead putting up a political sign on my lawn, a bumper sticker on my car or wear a shirt or cap showing support for a candidate. I've never done so a single time in my life, and that dates back to the days when society was a lot more polite than it is today.

If you continue to do so after everything we've seen in the last two years, don't ask me for any sympathy when your house or car get vandalized or some wack job beats you up or worse for wearing it.

There's a shit-ton of crazy out there, and in current year nothing tends to stir up the crazy as much as politics.


And up until now, I would have just told you Democrats not to worry about it since it's only your side that commits the vandalism, arson and murders over politics because the Legacy Media hides it or outright cheers it on.

But with the wind blowing the other way, and signs the pendulum is going to finally start swinging back, the negative consequence of this is that there will be some crazy from the other side which will feel emboldened to start doing stuff that only the Leftists have been allowed to do for years. The difference between the Leftists and everybody else is that everybody else isn't going to pretend that crazy doesn't come from everywhere. (Except for you, FOX News. Fuck you, FOX News).

You're right to not feel safe putting up signs and bumper stickers and wearing the shirts and hats. Go with your gut.

At the very least, you're going to spare yourself some very uncomfortable conversations in public with strangers.

There is simply ZERO ROI for making your property or your body a billboard for a political candidate unless you actually get enjoyment out of pissing people off.
