this is a RED neighborhood, but we put out one sign. It's close to the house to avoid theft. A few walkers came by, and said "good sign".
Now it's been a couple weeks. There are 5 or 6 other houses with Biden signs. The trumpets still over do it with flags and multiple signs, but it's getting half-and-half! Now there is a contest.
We have all been walking during the COVID, so we see each other. I know a lot of people are afraid to put out a Biden/Harris sign, but you never know once someone starts it.
I live in a very red state, and we just put up a Biden/Harris sign about two weeks ago. My neighbor across the street, a retired teacher, also has put up her Biden sign. But rather than put our signs close to the road and sidewalk in front of our houses, we discussed it together and decided to place our signs closer to our front porches, in the grass. We are hoping this will discourage anyone who may want to steal a sign.
I have seen more and more Trump signs in our neighbors’ yards lately. I think neither my neighbor nor I would be surprised to wake up one morning and discover that a sign was missing....or had been defaced in some way.
I do understand your concerns. I really do. I think you should do whatever gives you the greatest sense of peace. I wish I had better advice to offer. Maybe you could place your sign close to your house and hope that deters any would-be miscreants.
I wish you well. I will check back to see what others suggest and to see what you decide to do.
