    That ought turn the tide in his favor. Some people might be forgetting who they were going to vote for while going to the polling places and the signs won’t be there to remind them.

      “Shit, who was I voting for again? Harriet? Harold? Harburg? The other name started with a W or a V or something right? Oh wait, this guy’s name is Vance, that must be it. I’m voting for Trump & Vance, almost screwed that one up!”

      That’s a pretty confident statement in the era of the “undecided” voter?

      And of course, it isn’t about memory, it’s about voter intimidation. You see this red hat brown shirt doing this shit publicly without remorse and it tells you he might break your window if you try to put a sign in your yard or break your fucking arm if he sees you with a Harris shirt in the streets.

      Giggle all you need to, but you’re talking around the point here.
