First, I am sorry that you had to deal with this jerk, but glad you made some lemonade.
Second, just look at that enormous banana tree! Just look at it.

it took me a while to figure out the black polygons are redacting the photo and not actually a mask the guy was wearing and a flag he was waving

Because my goal is to elect Elizabeth Warren, not dox my unhinged neighbors. I have an unredacted image I can use for evidence should I need a restraining order, but there’s no reason to send people after this guy. He isn’t worth it.

I think, since he’s not A-ok with you putting up the signs, we’re pretty safe in assuming he decided to flash that with the WP meaning in mind. Assholes gonna asshole.
The most ridiculous part is that his life would probably change very little. He’s never going to be rich enough to be “punished” by “socialism” and might even save a few bucks on the knee surgery he’ll need to get in fifteen years from jogging on bad pavement.
People are so gullible. Especially comfortable, white, upper-middle class guys who feel that when others get some parity, it means they’re gonna lose.

Forget Halloween. I wonder how long “this fine gentleman” has gone along as a real-life ghoul.

Elizabeth Warren isn’t Socialist in the rest of the world.
I most of Europe, she’d be in the centre of politics. Here in the UK, she’d be centre left.
He should stop getting his politics lessons from Fox News. They’re not an accredited teaching institution, and plainly have no idea what they’re talking about…

(Nice electoral advert made for the Italian Socialist Party, with the old symbol with hammer and sickle)
Warren doesn’t look to me socialist at all. Doesn’t want to nationalize anything.

There are probably many who voted for Trump who would rather have a better candidate; not one of them will vote for anyone they think is socialist.

Warren does want to nationalize the health insurance industry. Sort of. Private health insurance still exists under Medicare For All, it just gets relegated to fulfilling fringe things, much as with current Medicare For Prunes. Still, that doesn’t make her socialist, that just makes her sane – we have ample proof that the only solution for high health care costs is a single payer solution, otherwise providers game the system with unnecessary care etc. that the multiple insurers can’t prevent because they don’t share enough information with each other.

The shirt is both orange and unflattering to his frame, and he’s yelling ignorant nonsense about “socialists” – I wonder who his favoured candidate is?
I will give him thanks for inspiring the donation.

I had a neighbor try to scratch my Bernie 2020 sticker off my rear bumper, wisely I had applied it with crazy glue. His reasoning was that I didn’t have the right to display it on my truck, funny thing is the SD police didn’t share his point of view.

This craziness happened in MA this week. Guy working for the town utility company and driving the utility’s truck!, stopped his workday to harass this woman and holler at her in front of her house, while she walked by with her young daughter, all because of her political bumper stickers, including one for Warren. He thought this was an okay thing to do while driving the company vehicle (he’s also wearing the maga hat too). Huh?
Edit , the hat is Trump 2020

Is it fair to say Fox doesn’t know what they’re talking about in cases when they’re deliberately lying? Because they do a lot of that.

Yes, there’s been a concerted effort to conflate the two to the point of irrefutability by Fox and White [Hen?] House for the past year. And little old ladies with only their tv’s for companionship are completely buying in to it.
