Do people have to pay for these flags and shit that they display around their house?
Oh yes. Trump’s making a pretty penny off it.
Those small yard signs are typically free. You can go to the local party headquarters and get them.
Right!
I couldn't imagine feeling passionate enough about any party candidate that I'd go out and buy campaign merchandise for them - let alone decorate my house with it

Yep, this whole political signage on personal property thing is totally ridiculous to me. I kind of assume anyone with political signage out front of their house is likely a bit...stupid? Like, moronic stupid?

I'm pretty ho-hum about Biden, but if I lived next to that Trump guy, I'd dedicate a significant portion of my salary to Biden signs.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

In fairness, I understand this. You didn't make the rules but this is the way the fight is fought in the US.
Do you think that the signage actually sways voters though? I can see some people going with "majority rules" when seeing a ton of blue or red signs about the place.

I can't imagine it makes a difference in the Presidential election, but I'm certain people vote locally for people "they've heard of," and the reason they've heard of the candidate is because they read their name on 500 signs around town. I may have even been guilty of such intellectual laziness.

Do those Trump flags come in a kit or something? You never see just one, it's always the giant flag, two banners, and at least a couple of yard signs. The asshole neighbor starter pack.
FWIW Trump signs seem to outnumber Biden signs like 2-1 around here.

I'm actually fully talking about generic "Trump" and "Biden" signs. I understand local candidate signage. At the end of the day those guys are the only ones who could actually do something that genuinely affected you personally.
Anyone with a trump sign in their yard is just trying to swing their dick around, not convince swing voters. It's not even signs that are MAGA go to's, it's flags.

Presidential yard signs aren’t meant to sway undecideds, they’re meant to motivate other supporters in your community. To say “you’re not alone, and we can do this.” There’s plenty of research out there demonstrating that while yard signs for big elections don’t change minds, the presence of such community facing props in an area correlates to a greater share of a candidate’s supporters showing up on Election Day.
It could be that yard signs are just more likely to appear in communities where the candidate’s supporters are more motivated in general, and they’ve got this whole thing backwards. But growing up in South Dakota, seeing the occasional Democrat candidate sign was reassuring, because I didn’t really have any other evidence that anybody around me felt the way I did. And in such a divisive election, I think it’s good for people in this country to be reminded that the “enemy“ they face is often the nice couple right next-door.
