A clever (or puzzling) sign.



Photographed by Meade today.

It's kind of hard to put it together, what with the disappearing "E." And once you see that "Bye Don," you have to wonder what exactly does it mean? To me, it's saying you're not really for Biden — you don't want that on you — but you just want to say "bye" to Donald Trump (who never gets called "Don," but... whatever).

I saw a painted sign stuck on the side of the road, the Soviet Flag with Trump written on it. I tried to imagine the person who hates Trump so much they'd make this sign and then stick it in front of a bunch of condominiums.

Reminds me a bit of the bumper sticker I saw a year ago that said "Anybody else 2020."

It was in the parking lot of a French restaurant on Bastille Day not far from U of A.

While I disagreed with the sentiment I understand the dilemma.

They have no one.

it means, "hey look at me, I'm an idiot."

Jealousy of Trump must be an EDU privilege. They just can’t admit that he is more talented than they are.

i assume, it means BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY
When President Trump wins reelection; prepare for Civil War (or, at least assassination)

At first glance, I thought it was going to be a Bob Dylan post.

Those have been all over Milwaukee for some time. Quasi-clever at best, in my humble opinion.

"you just want to say "bye" to Donald Trump"

It's all they got. I mean, with slooowww Joe, whacha gonna do?

We have 3 political signs around here. Numerous Trump signs and banners, quite a few “Support the Police” signs in the yards of people who are going to vote for Trump but would rather not admit it, and a handful of “We Believe” signs with a list of silly slogans such as “Love is Love” and “Science is real” posted by lefties who will vote for Biden but are too embarrassed to put up a Biden sign.

Strangely enough, in ultra-blue Montgomery County MD, I'm seeing more Biden signs (including the "Bye, Don" variant) than I saw Hillary signs in 2016.

Cute.

BTW and continuing the topic of signs, maybe my Lefty friends can help me with something.

The half dozen or so neighbors of mine who put BLM signs on their lawns almost faster than they could be printed and distributed, have now all removed them. Every single one. Two have replaced them with Biden for President signs. The other four, nothing.

What's going on? Could it be that BLM has become such an embarrassment to them, what with the burning and looting and all, that the word has gone out to remove them?

I'm not a Lefty so I don't know.

Big Mike म्हणाले...

It's cute. But wrong.

Ken B म्हणाले...

Scott Adams thought this was clever persuasion. To me it looks like admitting Biden is a bad candidate.

Michael B. म्हणाले...

One of my neighbors has that sign in his yard and I took it to mean it was pro-Biden. I could be wrong. Doesn't seem like an affirmative vote for Biden.

Jamie म्हणाले...

I missed the disappearing E altogether, and read it as a pun on "Biden" that was in support of Trump: "I'm by Don." So, complete fail as far as I was concerned.

J Lee म्हणाले...

Placeholder placard until Joe finally does choose a VP and they can print up a normal sign. And it does show where the enthusiasm is for the Democrats in 2020, where it's not so much electing Joe as it is getting rid of Don.

If you can't be smart be clever.

Living in the bay area I can attest some people have gone completely mental over Trump but I think for many it boils down to they think they are getting to the imaginary Trump supporter in their head.

I have heard as much from some of my debate partners. They feel they are getting back after enduring the slur about Obama's birth certificate. Even they no longer believe trump got russian assistance in 2016 to beat Hillary but it makes them feel good to say it early and often. Its really pitiable when you think about it.

I think we will be hard pressed to find any authentic signage support for Slow Joe who was after all engineered and rigged by the party apparatus to win over Bernie (again).

Inga still does.

I'll have to look into getting one. Not planning to vote for either presumptive nominee, but will gladly wave bye to Don next January.

Crazy World म्हणाले...

That is funny, they should just send Teflon Don a tweet!

Reads pro Trump. Bye Done. Biden is done.

And there it is, the bling vote, all show and no go. As noted by many there are few swing votes from Trump to Biden, but there are plenty of Democrats who quite sensibly are going to vote with their seat.

Oh goody! Where are you going? Canada or Mexico? Nobody ever says Mexico.

Joe Smith म्हणाले...

I've seen these in our more liberal (would make Madison seem like a bunch of Birchers) towns...the ones populated by wealthy white folks, most of them on the government dime.

Every window has one of their creeds taped up...every sustainable garden has a sign. Coexist, BLM, Humans aren't illegal, etc. It's such simplistic, juvenile tripe.

These folks would pee their pants if a black person ever approached them on the street at night. In any case, they only hire Mexicans to clean the house and do the yard work...those sustainable gardens don't sustain themselves.

This sign isn't clever in the least and it's poor design to boot...what a waste of recycled, fair-trade paper.
