In case anyone seriously considers doing something like this, you should know that vandalizing or removing political yardsigns is a misdemeanor in every state and can carry fines of $1000 and up to 90 days in jail per sign.

Sharing the meme is pefectly legal though.

Sign is 4 years old, and MAGAts want to hang Mike Pence because he didn’t go along with the failed coup.

Wouldn’t it only count to political signs placed by the party in question? I don’t think making your own sign would count. That would just be normal vandalism wouldn’t it?

If it’s your sign you may do as you please with the sign. Displaying it in your yard may be less straightforward, as it may no longer count as a political sign and fall under a local sign or art ordinance. Probably.

Making your own sign wouldn’t be vandalism at all. That would just be subject to local ordinances about displaying signage.

The overlap between people who would put these signs up and the people who shoot other people merely for appearing on their doorbell cameras is pretty wide.

I support but do not recommend this type of vandalism.

After seeing two of my neighbors put up Trump signs in 2016, I said “no fucking way are we ever putting a political sign on our lawn.” I’m not going to risk anything around these people. Who knows how insane they are? I don’t even want a knock on my door and a lecture.

Just buy a sign and prepare it before you go so all you have to do is swap signs.

Or steal the sign, modify it, and put it back. That way no money goes to them. We’re already committing vandalism, what’s a little petty theft?

True, but since you’re taking the old sign you can prep that one and swap it with another sign. Why not hit as many as you can?

it’s probably less illegal than stealing signs.

Especially if you’re using duct tape or something, it’s hardly even vandalism at that point.

I don’t much care about the legality. I’d be much more concerned about a Trump supporter sitting in front of a monitor staring at a hidden camera feed of the sign on his lawn, just itching for someone to vandalize it so he could come out guns blazing,.

reminder that conservative are more frequently blue collar, more frequently rural, and more frequently working labor of some kind, the likelihood that they have security cameras is low, and the likelihood that they work is even lower.

while they likely do have guns, and are more likely to use them, i doubt that it makes a significant difference if you plan properly.

January 6th insurrectionists built gallows on the Capitol lawn.

After Mike Pence did the bare-minimum in fulfilling his constitutional duties by affirming the election results, the protesters who thought he’d follow the plan began chanting, “Hang Mike Pence.”

2:20 Trump speach

5:17 Trump tweet followed by mob chanting “hang Mike Pence” with a gallows setup on the lawn.

At this point, protestors have already breached the capital and entered the building.

Congress evacuated, and Mike Pence was waiting with Secret Service outside of his car. Secret service wanted him in the car, but he refused on the grounds that they would evacuate him off site, and he felt it was important to stay.
