Way more ‘Trump 2024’ sharpie tags this time. Was able to acceptably clean/fade all but 2. 🤬 Covered one, and left the other a mess on a neighborhood sign that’ll hopefully piss off the residents. Realistically unlikely though. It definitely happened between dropping my nibling off at school and picking them up today. Tempted to do a stake out across the street next Thursday.😅

    As a former educator, I can tell you that bullies (and bigots of all forms, which were almost synonymous with bullies) in public school were masters of finding ways to be assholes without technically breaking the established rules.

    One of the worst ones I had to experience was “TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!” chanting, usually toward a gay kid or someone that otherwise stood out too much us-foreign-policy . Not much I could do, because “I’m just saying the President’s name.” smuglord

        It saddens me to know that there are some black MAGA people around my local area now that I’ve overheard in public before. Much like their white counterparts, they have huge blinders on while talking about how he will “get those kids’ butts back into CHURCH where they can learn MORALS” while ignoring how much their champion embodies the Seven Deadly Sins and deeply hates them at a gut level. angry-place

    Saw some NAFO stickers in my neighborhood and I’m now obessesing over the idea of figuring out who actually does IRL NAFO organizing or if its just some terminally online basement dweller.

      They’re all being put up along about a half mile stretch of sidewalk in front of a local elementary school. So there’s limited spots where they can be put; Street signs, telephone poles, those inground poles for fiberglass pulls. Plus, they’re put up to be seen. And since I know what to watch out for, they pop out pretty easy. My sister only noticed one out of 5 we passed today.
