Something like this doesn’t exist in Poland, well not in the shape or form it’s in the US. At most if someone has the ability to, you will see officially printed banners from a party being hanged on someone’s fence.

Here’s an example how this even looks like, straight from a banner printing service: https://www.taniebanery.com.pl/

Of course they are an eyesore, a waste of materials, and are littered fucking everywhere during election season.

Okay, sometimes there's exceptions

But they aren’t novelty items that are stylized to look like straight out of Barbie.

So again. Why the fuck is America such a weird and wild country? Why the fuck would anyone promote a politician out of their own pocket in a “quirky” and “cutesy” or “relatable” way???

Jesus I hate the US. Yes this is a bit of a vent post, cry about it :3

    I did know a guy in middle/high school that claimed to be a communist during this time but like no one wanted to kill him or anything over it. Since kids are taught that both fascism and communism are equally horrible, it’s what we knew. It was just weird that a high schooler was pro-Stalin to us. I sometimes wonder what his politics are now. I got back in touch with him like a decade ago on Facebook but he wasn’t ever openly political on there then. I wouldn’t be surprised if he turned out to be a chud though.
