Got this note from illustr8r –
No red white and blue Political yard signs.
Our local politicians seem to have decided that red white and blue is too patriotic (?) too boring (?) too American (?) because every other color is used on their campaign yard signs- yellow, orange, teal, green, blues of every spectrum… and this includes the Republicans.
Liberals instinctively hate red white and blue, it’s so much more progressive for them to choose non-traditional colors…virtue signaling via Pantone?
Weird. Maybe it’s just here in the NW.
!snip!
Is it?
In New York, all blue, or all red, was the common signage color. Never red, white and blue.
And there was NEVER a mention of the political party.
Years ago the political party was front and center. Now they just seem to want name recognition. Party is secondary.
Karen Handel (current 6th district rep) has always used blue and green. Going way back to County Commission. I even have a “Karen Green” shirt that I wore to campaign events.
She’s been extremely successful with her blue and green scheme.
Here in the NW a lot of people don’t really pay much attention to the Red, White, and Blue. I think it’s a left coast thing.
I got to say I pay more attention to policy than the color of their yard signs. Or everyones Yard Signs should be red white and blue. If that’s the criteria whom do you vote for?
I agree Brad, but the lack of Red, White, or Blue can be telling. Some of these candidates are avoiding overt patriotism. They don’t want to be viewed as supporting tradional values.
The only people who notice signs are the folks that put them up and the candidates.
Granted for new candidate with no name recognition there is a net gain benefit, other wise signs don’t vote.
My reps are furniture, lamposts, donorwhores and lobby pimps. Their signs could be giant billboards with flashing lights for all I care.
Wait, Are we saying anybody that doesn’t have red white and blue yard signs shouldn’t be considered for election? Well I guess I know who to vote for from now on. Thanks for straightening that out for me. Holy shit!
come to think of it, 2 of my favorite local politicians have never used r/w/b.
jclady, Ossoff sure didn’t help the Red White and Blue brand at all. Now we have a city council race as the first candidate out the door has sign-bombed the city with RW&B signs that look just like Ossoff’s. I have noticed that many have disappeared for some reason. I think people put too much stock in sign colors and not enough attention to how many of the damned things there are.
Good one Brad. I think it is not as much as what is being said with the signs, as much as what is not being said. Here in Western Washington you gain votes by being against American values. Hell, the Seattle city council is pro-socialist. Anybody showing RW+B is at a disadvantage. I know you see the same thing in California, but maybe being in Jefferson you don’t get it as much on a local level. You guys need to get Jefferson happening, I’m looking forward to a change.
They could do hat Richard Ryder did while running in San Diego for his first time. He let his PR person do the signs and they read ” Dick Ryder” as if he were a Gay superhero, and it was solid Pink to boot !
Wow, I don’t even look at them. So, I really don’t care.
They don’t want to be confused with this gem…

Up IN part of NJ they are either blue & white (all-out bastard) or red & white (Republican bastard).
I am in fact color blind, (red-green), so the color of a sign has no particular distinction to me, nor does the color of ones skin. The message and sincerity of ones actions/promises are paramount in my decision making.
BAPHOMET REPUBLICAN PENTAGRAM STARS
Yeah, the Republican elephant’s 3 stars went from pointing up, to pointing down.
It’s just as easy to tilt them right back up again. Wonder why they don’t? https://ibb.co/jTsh3w
It is cheaper to use only one color for the signs. If I have to design mine, I would use Stars & Stripes : White / Navy blue / PRU Blue. The print worker would charge me, one color only.
Another thing, most don’t even list the party anymore, just the candidate’s name and their bullshit catchy slogan.
If you have a Patriotic sign, it will be attacked by Libstains.
I live in the NW, but I’m currently in Philly. This area is a patchwork of little fiefdoms called “Townships”. There are several within just a few square miles of me. In fact, some buildings in my apt complex are in one, and some in another, with different “laws” for each.
Now imagine how this happens: A group of lefty slimeballs get talking in the neighborhood, and decide they can create jobs for themselves, and suck off of those around them by incorporating the area, and work as a group to elect each other to key posts. Somebody needs to be Mayor, somebody fire chief. There needs to be a city council, a commissioner, Police Chief, water Czar, etc.
As I walk around this neighborhood, every 3rd yard is FILLED with signs for the same people. It’s as though they’re all electing each other. The size of Fed Government is roughly 20% of the US economy. That’s 1 in 5!!!! Add to that, state and local, and you have a huge number of people who are useless parasites living off of society. You could combine probably 5 to 10 of these little fiefdoms to make one, and cut expenses dramatically.
It can depend on the office being sought, as well.
A few elections back, Greg Brooks ran for (and won) Road Superintendent for Rutherford County with a black and yellow color scheme. The colors and lines on his campaign signs reminded the viewer of an asphalt road. I don’t think anyone else seeking that office used that color scheme.
Don’t put too much faith in a candidate just because he or she uses red white and blue in their campaign.
0.5 Assed Patriot, symbolism like that is profoundly important to the sickos who want to dominate the world – satanists, illuminati, freemasons, etc. Thanks for pointing it out.
Here in the Un-Constitution state of Connecticut we still have a lot of red white and blue signs but what bugs me the most is as @azwatergeek said, NO PARTY AFFILIATION is mentioned on almost any of the signs.
That’s ok though as there ain’t a Democrat alive in this state that would ever get my vote so as long as they’re identified as Dems or Rebups or Indies at the voting booth, I’m all set.
Since I am a deplorable racist I only vote for candidates with total-white yard signs.
