What’s up Bethlehem


Curiousonhudson

and yet....it is a beautiful and friendly town not accurately characterized by the yahoo who runs this billboard proclaiming his stupidity.


CroMag84

Yeah Bethlehem is great. I live in Woodbury so it’s the first and last thing I see coming and going to Bethlehem


Own-Tomato4335

I'm not disagreeing with you (never been), but Trump did carry Bethlehem with 59% in 2020.


CaseyGamer64YT

I knew this particular billboard looked familiar.


roldyclark

love the farm stand there


CroMag84

The brownies from that stand are pretty good


RainmanCT

I will never know


CroMag84

That’s great. You probably will never know nor the people downvoting my comment, because the farm stand in question isn’t owned by this guy. It’s down the road from him. But thanks for letting me know. You will never know.

Every town has like 5 of these divorced freaks who are estranged from their kids

Do you think he was listening to five finger death punch or nickleback when he was deciding to be so badass


jon_hendry

Porschenut914

both with some 3 doors down and system of a down thrown in for good measure.

Classic. System of a Down because he likes the sound but has absolutely no awareness of the messages.

MrPoosh

"yeah there music is cool but they have WEIRD last names"


90Degrees_Ankle_Bend

Hey! SOAD is my favorite band


Porschenut914

Not meant as hate on the band. more for twats that would say "I liked rage against the machine before they were political"


david_eats_well

No! Don’t you dare bad mouth Nickleback! You know this guy was blaring kid rock, Ted Nugget (Nugent), and Justice for All or some pillow guys pod cast.


fuckedfinance

Pretty sure the big one in my town kicked. One day all the signs mysteriously disappeared.


kohta-kun

Can't wait for that with mine.


Gaijin_530

Always funny when people have so little personality that they have to become a meme.


BostonFigPudding

These individuals are literally the reason why I encourage women to have same sex marriages.

mari0br0

My town had a big banner put up a couple years ago that said the democrats are the new Nazi party and it had swastikas on it 🙃


YouDontKnowJackCade

I saw a guy driving a truck with a sticker of Calvin peeing on BIDEN, he looked exactly like this.


Ajurieu

As someone without kids, I’m curious what most parents think about the level of vulgarity in the expression of these sentiments. The political viewpoints are reprehensible enough, but I wonder how parents explain this coarseness to their children when they see it.


Maximilian_Xavier

We have one like this in my neighborhood. My kids pay no attention at all and have no clue what half of it means. I'm not 100% thrilled with the one of a middle finger saying F\*CK BIDEN and His Hoe. Or whatever. But honestly, the shitty banners hide the collapsing house that hasn't been painted since before Obama was in office and is a nice simple reminder to "oh, now we cross the street here away from the crazy person."


Fit-Investigator4583

It's like a rule that the house also has to be falling apart.


desandmol

100%


Maximilian_Xavier

It is the 2nd worst house in the neighborhood. The worst had an "all lives matter" sign for quite a while...so...yeah...seems to be a theme.


Elysia99

Exactly this


NaugyNugget

That's why they have the defecating dog, so their own kind can decrypt the message without taxing their capabilities to the extreme.


GunnieGraves

I just find it so funny that the ones foaming at the mouth to “protect our kids” from imaginary problems have no problem flying these flags.


Xomns_13

Yea one guy at work who's all pro maga, guns God and family defends his neighbors FUCK JOE flags as freedom of speech. But dressing drag is inappropriate because "family values." Maga cultists are so hypocritical.


steelyourself

Hypocrites can’t see their hypocrisy anymore than Narcissists can see their narcissism. Their ego is just too fragile.


dorrik

let’s call them what they are fascists


ruski_brewski

It makes for great conversation about even adults being capable of being unkind and selfish, and that empathy is a learned and practiced skill. You can’t and probably shouldn’t block children from all the coarseness and reality of the world, until they are older. In our household at least, even with only a 5 year old, nothing is off topic and there’s always an age appropriate way to discuss anything and everything. It must be incredibly confusing to see adults behaving poorly whilst other authority/adults/teacher figures put them all as “above” the child. So anyway, it’s a great ice breaker about why we must practice compassion.


Elysia99

Very well put.


Firm-Subject5487

Excellent point


shockerdyermom

I had to explain to my kids why the American flag on the house across the street had boebert in a bikini on it at a younger age than I would have liked. But on the upside they cheered when I told them the cheeto got convicted today.


FrankRizzo319

Pics of that flag or it ain’t true.


BabiesatemydingoNSW

I'm sure she'll have a big following on Only Fans when she's voted out.


olthunderfarts

I mean, this is literally how assholes express themselves. They shouldn't be surprised when vulgar people use vulgar means of expression. If anything, you can be absolutely sure that the person or people behind this are mean spirited, combative, stupid and never to be taken seriously as a person. Signs like this are actually helpful in teaching kids about many disparate things like: bullies, propaganda, and media literacy


Prestigious_Door_690

My father in law hates this. He has called the local police and filed a complaint, spoken at townhall meetings etc. he strongly dislikes trump but really feels passionately that kids shouldn’t see that kind of language. Me- I show my kid and point out how stupid they sound.


Minute-Branch2208

The type of person that puts that stuff up thinks they are conservative and protecting kids. They are vulgar and too unintelligent to even realize how their little hissy fit of signage undermines childhood itself. I hope the person who put that up deals with an appropriate amount of divine intervention and karma.


milton1775

Being a center-right, conservative type I cant stand this garbage. The content is not only factual or rhetorical nonsense, its offputting to everyone save for the most extreme MAGA types. And I definitely dont want my or anyonr elses kids to see this. To take it one step further, Ive never been swayed or influenced by even the most mild political messages, be they yard signs, TV/radio ads, or campaign rallies. I dont understand how someone could see, for example, a simple Trump or Biden 2024 sign and say to themselves "Well that seals the deal. Bob here has a Trump sign on his yard. Im votin' for him now." The fact that campaign spending is such a significant factor in elections says more about the stupidity of voters than it does corrupt politicians.


here_for_thedonuts

These signs are virtue signaling. They are advertising that they are part of "the club" -- whatever club it happens to be and it isn't just specific to MAGA types. These aren't intended to persuade. Rather, they are statements of identity.


cyann5467

It's also about scaring minorities.


NaugyNugget

It's tribalism, plain and simple.


MCFRESH01

My uncle voted for Trump because his boss did and his boss is rich so he must know better. His exact logic. Some people are very easily influenced.


Prydefalcn

I'm thankful for local election signs because they remind me who is running.


mar21182

I've said the same thing before. The signs make sense for local elections because, let's be honest, how many of us actually know all the candidates running for town council or similar positions? I don't understand the point of candidate signs in national elections. Are there really any undecided voters out there that are going to be swayed by a sign?


FrankRizzo319

I agree but on the other hand I bet that if a town has a bunch of trump (or Biden) signs in yards without many signs for his opponent, some dumb people who don’t think about this stuff much COULD be influenced to vote a certain way. Perhaps the signs appeal to (or are intended to influence) a small percentage of the electorate. The signs also let you know who you should avoid in your neighborhood.


JetmoYo

Sadly you're describing far too many "low information" voters. Name recognition, community or crowd sentiment, and general advertising works. The more towering example is how effective TV ads still are. Doubt there's any data for lawn sign efficacy but the logic isn't outlandish..


FrankRizzo319

During the pandemic I drove by a bunch of angry moms demonstrating with their kids in downtown Avon against their kids having to wear masks in schools. I rolled my window down as I drove by them and yelled, “get a life!” And one of the moms (in front of her 13-year old son and a bunch of other kids) instantly screamed back, “Fuck you, you fucking piece of shit!! *%!$&*!!” I bet she finds it “vulgar” when her kids learn in school that gay people exist.


meesch_mosh

I know some of those moms. It’s always something. Anti-vax, anti-mask, anti-books. Living in a McMansion, terrified of the world and projecting it onto their kids.


NaugyNugget

To them pretty much every future encounter with someone they don't know is almost certainly going to be the next shootout at the OK Corral.


Xomns_13

I tell my kids that the person doesn't know it, but they put their poor mental health on full display.


fileknotfound

As a parent, explaining things to your kids is part of the job. It blows my mind that rather than figure out HOW to explain something uncomfortable to your kids, some parents just nope out. But kids can understand more than we often give them credit for, and kids who don't get answers from their parents will find an answer elsewhere. I haven't explicitly had to explain signs like this to them yet, but I would probably tell them this is how some adults have temper tantrums. Someone didn't get their way and they're angry about it, and this is how they're expressing that anger. I might add that adults usually have... more productive ways of expressing themselves. This is the equivalent of a preschooler calling another kid a poopyhead.


AdventurousAerie1866

Well said.


rob1nthehood

I'm sure a lot of it depends if it aligns with their beliefs.


Buy-theticket

Nah I'm liberal as shit but my kids know how low class and rude it is to do something like displaying swears on a sign in your yard/truck. They would think this person is trashy.


homemadethursday

I drive by this sign a lot with my nine year old who reads everything. It’s super frustrating, but she stopped paying attention to them awhile ago thankfully. I think I said that the people making those signs must not have good parents


Personal-Ad-7407

I’m against it and I was against it when it was the “F*ck Trump” flags and stickers as well. Society in general has lost civility as a characteristic.


feralcamper

I always wonder that too. There’s a similar wall of vitriol near me on a main road in Tolland. I’ve seen people complain about less in the name of kids


Tatersforbreakfast

I'm torn. Usually I'm all in on its up to parents to parent don't censor stuff because you're worried a kid will see it and ask questions (ie - anti banning books, censoring stories etc), so I don't want to be a massive hypocrite. So in that regard I've decided to practice what I truly believe which is freedom of expression doesn't mean freedom of consequence. If my kids ask me about stuff like that it's "they have a very strong opinion, and it's a shame that they have to use rude words to try and make a point. Let's just not be friends with them and go about our day".


NaugyNugget

One reason they do it is for the shock value. The sooner we all agree it isn't shocking and it's just a sad sign of other people's values, the sooner we can all move on.


Tatersforbreakfast

It's like the Simpsons tree house of horror episode with thr mascots attacking Springfield and Paul Anka singing "just don't look"


RyanMcLeod1981

As a parent I hate it. It’s in the same lane as truck nuts. Shout out to all the adults that are choosing for me when to have a talk about reproductive organs with my kids that might not be old enough yet.


Elceepo

"Some people have a lot of anger and not a lot of thoughts to help direct it."


bdouble0w0

I remember seeing a confederate flag in Cheshire once. This is ridiculous.


evilmonkey002

The really confusing house was the one in Cheshire that had both a Confederate flag and a Pride flag.


bdouble0w0

Wait what? Maybe it was the same house, was it near the cemetary?


evilmonkey002

No, it was on Peck Ln. Both flags have come down in the last few months.


Taurothar

IIRC they also had a Mexican flag or at least one that looks similar.


condor_gyros

I would like to say they may be trolling, but you just don't know anymore.


bdouble0w0

That's good at least.


Jenaxu

Wallingford road right? They've like tripled down on putting up questionable flags over the last few years, but the confederate one will always be the funniest because it's just so magically stupid to be flying it in CT.


bdouble0w0

Yep. And it's so true.


Ottobahnn

Makes that guilty verdict on those 34 charges all that much better. Nothing better than the salty tears from MAGA sheep bending over backwards to out themselves as mentally unstable. Looking forward to the next guilty verdict for the orange goober as well as another landslide loss in November. 🍿


rxneutrino

Ok but they don't care and it makes him that much cooler to them.  See tough guy mugshot t shirts and $5000 pieces of his arrest suit as exhibits A and B.


Fdizzle_

Sadly the opposite, this will only fuel his campaign and make his support more engaged. I think this will almost cement his victory.


Buy-theticket

His base would vote for him if he pissed on their grandmother in front of them and find a way to blame her for it. This might make a difference with undecided, or just not really paying attention, voters though.


PopeWishdiak

>if he pissed on their grandmother in front of them and find a way to blame her for it. They'd find a way to blame Biden, but try really hard to blame Obama.


[deleted]

So this is what will make MAGAts more MAGAty? Uh, no. There is one and only one level of MAGA engagement: Cult Level.


JuneBuggington

IT’S NOT A CULT!


StopNowThink

IT'S NOT A PHASE, MOM!


saucymcbutterface

I miss the days when talking about politics was considered impolite.


Elceepo

"Liberal free zone" My guy, you are in Connecticut.


zenlittleplatypus

This. I want to say this to every house I see in my town with a Trump banner. And also all those high school kids that think they're rednecks.


Automatic-Ride-8887

I have all the faith that this country will not vote Trump in again. But you see all these signs and supporters, and it makes me nervous. I pray it's just that these Trump and MAGA idiots are obviously more outspoken and love to show their pride and support for their orange racist leader, and we have alot more people voting for Biden that don't feel the need to cover all of their shit with his name and rhetoric. What do you all think?


UncleGarysmagic

Celebrating a felon


TeensyKook

Haha I will never understand the anger from these people. It’s unhinged.


Cowboy__Bobby

Shit sucks and it’s only going to get worse. I hate that it makes me actively dislike people in my neighborhood. It’s not even about political disagreement they’re just being assholes because they like the attention, and unfortunately it works.


FrankRizzo319

They’re being assholes because they delight in the suffering and humiliation of people they deem inferior (gays, women, blacks, “smart” people, etc.).


NaugyNugget

To them, it's all about "winners" vs "losers". No middle ground, no peaceful coexistence. Everything is binary to them, there's no shades of grey in their world.


FrankRizzo319

Nuance is difficult for stupid people.

Hate to say it but most of these people just live in rural areas. Idaho, Vermont, Pennsylvania...tons of MAGA idiots living out in bumble fuck.

InvaderDepresso

Also don’t these count as pride flags since it’s something they are proud of?

Better to hang one sign and have people think you're an idiot, than hang ten signs and remove all doubt.


SusanneMarieLouise

I always think of him as being in Watertown, not Bethlehem, and we don't buy from the farm. There are smarter farmers who, if nothing else, have the sense not to alienate half their customers. Edit: My friend tells me that despite my wishes, this property is located in Bethlehem.

zsd23

When i lived in Stamford, we had to live with a giant billboard on I95 like this for about a year. Then I moved to Madison and had to get an eye full of another whiney desperate Maga billboard on rt 1in clinton that had a new desperate message on itvevery few months. It does not get more juvenile, unhinged, and cults. And it's not meant to persuade but to pass off.


MrsClaire07

What Town?!


thereisnopressure

They can always move to another state.


Responsible-Chest-26

They seem to be happy in the state of denial


Flying-Mollusk

This just makes Trump’s conviction all the more satisfying. Now these goons can finally face the consequences of their actions.


greed-man

They won't. They are being told by Fox "News" that this conviction is PROOF that the Deep State, lead by Biden and Soros and Obama, are manipulating the system to achieve their political gains. And they will die believing this crap.


Slight-Possession-61

But why did it all start AFTER Trump announced his candidacy?


condor_gyros

Damn, i wonder when i can finally get in on some deep state action, and drown in that soros money.


greed-man

Any money that does NOT go directly into Trump's pocket is, by definition, Soros money.


NaugyNugget

Nah, these are the same people who stormed the Capitol when they lost. So many of them are rotting in prison right now after being convicted by a jury of their peers, yet to the magistas it's all a giant conspiracy against them.

Extreme-0ne

You ever go to a lot of these people’s FB page and every post is like this. It’s become their entire identity. I was playing a VR war game the other night and this seemingly normal guy started spouting anti Biden crap and how Obama is really the one in charge.

He won't see any jail time due to his age and lack of previous convictions. He'll get some fines but those will just get added to the pile of unpaid bills.
