21. The thing about this....

It's like Biden sign stealing in my neighborhood in Arizona. It has the OPPOSITE effect the criminals want. It only highlights the imbecility of the perpetrators and generates sympathy for the victims.

Seriously, who would have even known about the hay bale sign outside of the local area before the fire? When Biden/Harris signs are stolen in Arizona, the owners (including myself) only replace the signs and donate more money to the campaign.

The fire in Mass has now become NATIONAL NEWS. It only highlights the FUCKING STUPIDITY of the arsonist. It only resolves more votes for the Democrats. It only causes more disgust on the part of intelligent right wingers who oppose this kind of vandalism.

Many of my right leaning friends are completely turned off by this idiocy and further resolve to vote for Biden.

You can't fix stupid, and I for one would NEVER use the word "smart" when referring to Trump supporters.

Kudos. But, it should have been arson IMO. Even if no buildings nearby, it could have burned field hlthe2b Oct 2020 #3
