Also, if you are putting up Trump signs or Trump flags in Takoma Park, you know exactly what you're doing. You are seeking attention and getting it. That said. s/he should not be doxxed and my fear is that some agitators would egg the house or something. Leave people's property and privacy alone.

There is nothing private about a yard sign. It’s a very public statement.

This is why you will lose on Tuesday. Just watch

If he wins you will ALSO lose. You're just too dumb to realize it now.

Exactly. The whole point is to show PUBLIC support for your guy. Give me a break.

What snowflakes.

Did the person who posted the sign say any awful racist, sexist or horrific things? No....

The candidate whose name is on the yard sign did - and continues to do so.

Then shame THAT person if you must.

So your position is that I can put out a yard sign in my yard, publicly expressing support for a candidate, but you shouldn't criticize me for publicly supporting the candidate? That works out great for me, but why shouldn't you be able to criticize me for my public support of the candidate?

The point is, why must we go around criticizing people at all?

You wanna know why we must criticize somebody who is voting for somebody who tried to have their vice president murdered?

Who’s criticizing who?

I will not link to the posts and add to the doxxing, but multiple social media posts in Takoma Park community groups have featured a photograph and commentary mocking local who dared to put out a Trump 2024 sign in their yard. At least one of them had the decency to edit out the street address. The posts garnered hundreds of laugh react emojis and hundreds of comments dogpiling the Trump supporter with only ONE defending the resident's freedom to express their own voting preferences. In a city that... I looked it up... the Democratic candidate usually gets 90-95% of the vote, the Green party getting 2-4% and the Republican getting 2-4%, that's still hundreds of Trump voters. There are still probably more Trump supporters in Takoma Park than individuals who identify as transgender, and nobody would mock a transgender person for being out about their identity.

If you wake up shocked next Wednesday morning, this is why. People are so defensive of their groupthink bubbles they couldn't imagine that even 1 out of 20 voters doesn't think like they do. Guess what, on an average grocery shopping trip to the Takoma Park food co-op, you probably saw a Trump supporter and you don't even know it. And the rest of the country thinks you're obnoxious.

I agree with you. I live in Takoma Park and I know the man who was doxxed. He is more thoughtful than others I know in Takoma Park. You would not meet him on the street and recoil in horror, saying he is a fascist. I think you have to look at what is behind people's support of Trump. Perhaps they feel alienated by their communities and feel failed by government.

What we ought not do is what so many people did on Facebook to this man.

The average German Nazi supporter wasn’t exactly murdering babies in the streets you know. Stop making excuses for these people.

“And some of them, I assume, are good people.” -Trump talking about actual neo Nazis.

Sorry, I mixed up my Trump quotes! That was when he was talking about the criminal Mexicans. I think the Nazis were the “good people on both sides” line.

My apologies for the mix up!

So many racist quotes, it's hard to keep track!

The banality of evil is well documented

You are seeking attention and know exactly what you are getting?!? OMG, that is like saying a woman dresses scandalous therefor she deserved to get sexually assaulted because she was seeking attention and gets what she deserved.

Nice try, but no one physically or sexually assaulted this man so your comparison is not only disgusting, it tracks with your support for a rapist.

No, actually it's not. Clothing has many purposes, but the only purpose of a yard sign is to publicly express your support for a political candidate. Also, criticism on social media (= speech) is not sexual assault (= a crime).

There is a house in my neighborhood with at Trump sign and nothing has happened to them. I boo them as I pass though

Takoma Park is insufferable.

Why would anyone want to live there? They once tried to get people to use corn pellet stoves and stayed they'd deliver pellet heaps to peoples' home to heat them for the winter, lol. I thought they were banning gas stations and mowing your yard too?

Bunch of weirdos.

I'll be glad when this election is over.

If anyone is shocked to learn the election result -- whatever it is -- they haven't been paying any attention. (Though I don't think any Harris supporters would be shocked if Trump wins -- unlike many Trump supporters. And I also don't think we'll know who won by Wednesday morning.)

No PP, for what exactly?
