Shortly after Trump was elected president, “HATE HAS NO HOME HERE” (HHNHH) yard signs began adorning the minority-manicured lawns of white-collar, white-skinned liberals. You’ve seen the sign. Its message is translated into multiple languages, which is meant to broadcast a globalist diversity of sorts by those who speak not only just English, but that sniffy dialect molded within the narrow confines of a university pedigree loftier than junior college but conspicuously short of Ivy League. You can all but hear them finish their Starbucks order with that irritating raised inflection on the last syllable.
The underlying message of the HHNHH yard sign is two-fold. First, it’s virtue signaling in its most tawdry form. Yard signs announcing “POVERTY IS BAD” and “I SUPPORT CURING CANCER” would ring just as hollow. Sorry, but you don’t get a cookie for broadcasting to the world that you oppose hate. Most people do, and their daily actions are sufficient proof thereof. A lion doesn’t need to convince people it’s a lion.
Second, the HHNHH yard sign alludes that a home which opposes President Trump is axiomatically hate-free, and, by deductive logic, a home which supports President Trump categorically welcomes hate with open arms. The sign smugly implies, “I'm a good person, and it's a shame that you're not.” This insinuation might not rise to the level of hate, but it certainly sinks to the level of arrogance, condescension, and sweeping judgment.
But over time the HHNHH yard signs faded along with the “I’m With Her” bumper stickers. The yard sign prophets needed something new, something snarkier, with which to impress their woke comrades and irritate the handyman who lives on the street’s only single story home. So a new yard sign was handed out that reads like a manifesto.

We have been fascinated by the "bumper sticker" craze for years because a lot of neat stuff was printed for people to read .... waiting for the police to write them up for rear ending the guy in front.
I had a "Run Hillary Run" bumper sticker.....on the front of my car.
I hardly see any bumper stickers any more. Perhaps a handful for Bernie and some faded Hillary stickers, but that's about it.
Beats me.
Honestly if I had the money I’d like to have an Outback.
:)
My all time favorite bumper sticker:
The voices told me to stay home from work today and clean the guns.
They need to be condensed into one sign...”THE ORANGE MAN IS BAD”.
Excellent Point.
The internet and memes
Tranny went out at a bad time in our lives

They screw up the a car’s finish and do not age well.
May I just add, this is excellent. I’ve put it on FacePlant.
I say basically these virtue-signaling statements are a bunch of non-sequiturs.
This is good. Any available?
Shut UP, Hippie!
