Just ignore them. They want you to react, and stealing the signs lets them pretend they're being oppressed.

Exactly. Now they feel even more like this is a war, they need to ‘deploy’ some carpetbagger, etc. etc. Like someone said in another post, ignore this guy. It’ll be over in 9 days.

The signs would be picked up anyway by the AOT since they are illegaly placed, but the malloy schills are spamming them faster than they can be picked up.
Op is just helping the state out. I really feel like we dont need to "just ignore him" when like. He spams them everywhere. And they are impossible to ignore

Fair point.

Want to piss him off? Ignore him. Don't dignify his existence with any attention whatsoever.

High-minded liberals have been saying this about Republican fascists for 22 years. Three stolen presidential elections later, I can assure you, it is not working.

This is a good point.. that’s exactly what I thought about Trump in the run up to the 2016 election. “There’s no way we’re going to elect Trump to be president of the USA!”

Honestly same. I thought ignoring him would do a lot fucking more than it did.

You're right, and I struggle with this issue. I don't want them living in my head rent-free, but I also don't want them running the government and destroying our democracy. It's almost impossible to engage in good faith, and stooping to their level isn't generally constructive. I'm not sure what needs to be done, but I guess I need to stop being incredulous that people actually believe their propaganda and find a way to negate their influence in whatever small ways are available to me.

Totally. The only tactics I've ever seen work have been swift, decisive, and usually illegal. Richard Spencer got cold-cocked on national television and it destroyed him forever.

They should feel oppressed. These new fascists need to be beaten back and should fear ever speaking the shitty things they believe and want.

I hear ya. It's just that their propaganda machine is so good at twisting up grievances and using it to justify their shitty behavior, I'd rather not give them extra fuel for their hatred over something as minor as too many campaign signs.
I suppose it could be argued I need to stop being "reasonable" when dealing with fascists. It's hard to fight this shit in good faith.
