I discovered years ago, that if you live in a red state and put up a political sign for a Democrat, you have to put it very close to your house. Anywhere else, and it seems to be too much temptation for passers-by to withstand. Not everyone who goes by, of course, but at least one every day or two. I have also had signs for candidates I don't support put in my yard without permission. The metal supports for these make excellent trellises for garden vegetables that might otherwise flop over. Such is the state of political discourse in the 21st century in this country. I don't know what it's like for a Republican in a blue state, because I haven't lived in one. All I can say is that I haven't uprooted any signs.
