Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
In case anyone seriously considers doing something like this, you should know that vandalizing or removing political yardsigns is a misdemeanor in every state and can carry fines of $1000 and up to 90 days in jail per sign.
Sharing the meme is pefectly legal though.
Sign is 4 years old, and MAGAts want to hang Mike Pence because he didn’t go along with the failed coup.
MAGAts want to hang Mike Pence
Is that what we're calling pumping now? Hanging Pence? Whatever floats their boat.
maga crowd wants well hung Mike pence. Got it.
Should be legal to modify any signs on your own property, though.
Yup
It might also be legal to distribute your own parody political signs
Wouldn't it only count to political signs placed by the party in question? I don't think making your own sign would count. That would just be normal vandalism wouldn't it?
If it's your sign you may do as you please with the sign. Displaying it in your yard may be less straightforward, as it may no longer count as a political sign and fall under a local sign or art ordinance. Probably.
Making your own sign wouldn't be vandalism at all. That would just be subject to local ordinances about displaying signage.
What are the chances of finding an intact Trump/Pence sign at this point though?
The overlap between people who would put these signs up and the people who shoot other people merely for appearing on their doorbell cameras is pretty wide.
I support but do not recommend this type of vandalism.
After seeing two of my neighbors put up Trump signs in 2016, I said "no fucking way are we ever putting a political sign on our lawn." I'm not going to risk anything around these people. Who knows how insane they are? I don't even want a knock on my door and a lecture.
Just buy a sign and prepare it before you go so all you have to do is swap signs.
Or steal the sign, modify it, and put it back. That way no money goes to them. We're already committing vandalism, what's a little petty theft?
True, but since you're taking the old sign you can prep that one and swap it with another sign. Why not hit as many as you can?
Good call. Now steal one of their trucks to haul them and we're getting into real crime!
it's probably less illegal than stealing signs.
Especially if you're using duct tape or something, it's hardly even vandalism at that point.
I don't much care about the legality. I'd be much more concerned about a Trump supporter sitting in front of a monitor staring at a hidden camera feed of the sign on his lawn, just itching for someone to vandalize it so he could come out guns blazing,.
Blue duct tape would be faster.
I like the way you think
Unfortunately, that's a Trump|Pence sign, so this is a bit out of date. The notion is still a valid one.
Would also need white tape or white sharpie to get the final E in Pence to be an S as well
There we are, I knew someone would streamline this for the masses.
Thanks
Pence isn't his running mate this time, wouldn't work.
Guess you missed the VP announcement, it's Jonathan Fatcock
Omg, you had me in the first half!
Pssh, nah, of course he will run with the same VP from before! Or did something happen to make his VP not trust him for some reason? 🤔
I still see so many of these flags flying and bumper stickers everywhere though
Has trump even picked his vp yet? Whom ever it is better have a lock tight exit strategy because his last vp was literally minutes away from being strung up by Trump supporters.
I bet anyone he does pick will just think that surely the leopards won't eat their face
I'm unfamiliar, can someone fill me in
January 6th insurrectionists built gallows on the Capitol lawn.
After Mike Pence did the bare-minimum in fulfilling his constitutional duties by affirming the election results, the protesters who thought he'd follow the plan began chanting, "Hang Mike Pence."
Pence nearly got murdered on January 6th

2:20 Trump speach
5:17 Trump tweet followed by mob chanting "hang Mike Pence" with a gallows setup on the lawn.
At this point, protestors have already breached the capital and entered the building.
Congress evacuated, and Mike Pence was waiting with Secret Service outside of his car. Secret service wanted him in the car, but he refused on the grounds that they would evacuate him off site, and he felt it was important to stay.
What about a white sharpie though? They used something white on the capital C and E to make them into I and S.
False advertisement! I want my money back!
Your mission, should you choose to accept it . . .
I don’t wanna gag. I wanna straight up choke. Give it to me hard.
The only thing we need to give you hard is a Bible and choke you with the Holy Spirit 😤
Think spray paint would work?
You'll probably gag on spray paint, so yes.
