A truly cautionary consideration....

...on election campaign signage.
The Vierk manor house on the Estate rests close to the street out front, which leads to our ocean Bay. Decades ago, our Public Ways Committee work, saved over a dozen such roads, each providing access for all to the shores. Nearly as many have disappeared over the centuries, usually by the greed of abutting land owners, small town old girl and boy connections, and corruption/cooperation of town administrators.
So we get a lot of foot and bike traffic passing by. The garden veggies we put out for the community seem much appreciated, and many know of our civic volunteering efforts, as above. And of the presence of our intimidating, but friendly, 50+ Kg GS dog Bravo.
Do I digress a bit as I broadcast virtue? Don't you just hate it?
But back to the topic. The (mostly) Democrat political signs in this liberally governed town are starting to appear on our road. As usual, surveys show that the largely silent and non-voting electorate is actually in the majority. And so it goes.
But the shrill/often destructive and violent style of the few altlefties is clear to all with ears and eyes to perceive---except for the few Syndromics, VERY syndromic, who suffer from cognitive distortion and denial, of many sorts. NYC, Portland, Seatle, Chicago, and many others, clearly show the differences between the respectful and orderly gatherings of, say, Tea Party sorts, and the "progressive" lawless paid anarchist rioting on the left.
But there's much more occurring on more personal levels.
At it's worst, many have suffered assault for having MAGA hats on, if they happen to venture into the wrong places. And private property often gets ignored by these lefties, when they get that feeling in the bosom, and the urge to act out their virtue signalling moral sense of superiority. Don't just take my words for it. Sure, it can occur on all sides of political spectrums, as with the deranged 17 YO toting his AR. But those who don't see the HUGE imbalances, well, they are full Syndrome sorts.
At much lower levels, campaign signage gets taken down. And rocks get thrown, and windows broken. Grafitti painted on public and private property. There's been a big BLM sign at the top of this road. People of my ilk typically wouldn't think of removing that sign. Different strokes.
So I'd like to put a T-P sign on our chimney. Way on high.
But the world is full of lower class units, who threaten to tear off limbs, or pummel faces, or jab with hot pokers. Some raised in certain ways are quite capable of many interesting actions. Including bullying.
So the cautionary consideration. VERY cautionary. And one more tedious Vierk dissertation.
