Have you ever thought that the sign itself might be too confusing for some in your neighborhood? I mean, they might be waiting until they are told by their party or their favored media source who to hate. I’m not convinced that there is much thought that goes into what they do - they need explicit instructions on who the “bad guys” are. And they’ve not been instructed to hate Beto again. The hate from last time has worn off. ---

It made it through the primaries! #TexasStrong It has been retired to the garage and will be placed back outside closer to election season. ---

Well, the tenacity of that sign shores up my belief in humanity. Or maybe I should just call it my _Humanity Not Completely Filled With Assholes_ theory. Now try an “I’m Biden’s Bitch” sign… ---

Team, I am proud, honored, and a little touched to announce that my Beto sign… Made it. I just replaced it with my Biden/Harris sign, because why not? > ---

Should’ve left up the Beto sign. You can cross off the “Gov” part when he decides what to run for next. The fourth time’s the charm… ---

No, they still killed a million fellow citizens because they had a hissy-fit regarding mask wearing and, as Christians who expect to be judged for their moral choices by a God who literally came to Earth expressing His divinity via vaccinating those his human rulers taught him to hate, I also consider them damned by the very rules of the religion they claim to follow. The ability to ignore a sign hardly registers compared to such moral abortions as above.
