It's virtue signaling. It's just as useless as people that post too much about politics on social media.

Nobody cares about your opinion, and you're not going to change anyone's mind with Facebook rants and ridiculous yard signs.

I’ve never placed one in my yard and likely never will. But when I see them it feels good to know people probably share my values. I also eyerollingly appreciate creativity in campaign signs. Give me slogan with a pun on your name, or something painted colors other than red, white, and blue. If I don’t agree with your politics, I’m not going to vote for you; but I’ll respect your hustle. I think, too, that back before we were overwhelmed with politics, there were primacy and recency arguments to be made for signs. I wish the state would enforce penalties for not removing signs by seven days after an election.
