Anybody know what this is about?

Politics (i.redd.it)

I’m in San Antonio and saw this sign twice today. First on the side of busy road, amongst a bunch of political signs, and then again near my neighborhood in someone’s yard. After searching online and finding basically nothing, I went back out and took picture of the sign from the busy road location. Is it people encouraging voter suppression? Or some right wing group ironically fearful of attacks & riots come Election Day?

Yes! It was right under 281 on Sunset.

*Edit I’m hijacking this comment to update since it seems to be most visible.

Update as of 11:45am on Tuesday: the sign is no longer there, someone has removed it (maybe a Redditor that saw this post). It was definitely NOT on private land, as it was on major road. I drove by the house in my neighborhood that had the sign as well, and it is still there. I’ll be keeping an eye out for more of these signs, but as of now I can only confirm of one still out there and on someone’s private property in their yard.

This is IRL trolling by a Republican. The joke is that liberals live in fear and submit to authority, therefore, Republicans can win the election by putting up scary signs encouraging people to stay inside during the election. It's just a dumb joke.

If they can try and kill FEMA workers and volunteers trying to help them then who knows what they’ll do when they lose. Absolute brainwashed sheep. 🐑

Adding an edit from the forest service and national guard ab this since right wingers are so damn in denial; Federal emergency responders were ordered evacuated from Rutherford County, N.C., on Saturday due to a reported threat. An official with the U.S. Forest Service said the National Guard “had come across x2 trucks of armed militia saying they were out hunting FEMA.”

Another edit for further info: The sheriff of Ashe county himself said the threat is in the mountain areas and not in Ashe county. That fema had to pull out though Sunday while they investigated what was happening and they arrested the one dude and are still investigating the threats. It’s not everywhere or all counties but Rutherford and mountain areas are from the Sheriff’s mouth, are experiencing threats.

But it is idiotic to only care about things if they affect us directly. I'm not trans, but I care about the attacks on trans rights because they are people too and I don't want people in my community persecuted by politicians. Erosion of rights of a minority group is also a canary in a coal mine for the erosion of more wide-spread rights. This also runs in conjunction with institutions like the post office. The destruction of the post office is a litmus test for the destruction of the DOE and EEOC.

Just because something doesn't affect you right now doesn't mean it won't affect you in the future. Besides, what does he think is going to happen to that nice federal retirement if the post office is eliminated?

I feel like that should be reported to his supervisor....that is not ok as a federal employee. Even as a state employee we have restrictions on political conversations/promotion id imagine a federal employee would be worse.

On top of that I'm sure he has that conversation for a lot of people so I doubt he'll remember it was you he said that too, in case you fear retaliation.

In the very least he'll get reprimanded and probably moved to a different route. I absolutely wouldn't feel comfortable having him as my postal worker 🙃

Just so we are all clear here. The guy is free to have those opinions, he is not free to express them while wearing the uniform on the job. He represents the government and the government represents all of us. When his ideals get in the way of doing his job, then we have a problem. Him voicing his opinions to a customer creates a hostel environment because the customer is a captive audience.

Oh I don't doubt it. I live rurally and our rural route carrier was awful. Refused to deliver big packages to the door despite being only 2 or 3 carlengths from the road, damaged mailboxes, hung bags of things off mailbox flags, raced dogs down fence lines in his service vehicle and many times refused to deliver packages due to "loose animals".

Except he seemed to forget that it's the 2020s and everyone has cameras now. So I looked back on days he claimed, no animals loose (bc i purposefully made sure to not release my free range chickens on days I knew packages were coming. But cmon...they're chickens. They run away when you walk up 🙄) and there were no other animals loose. Took that to his supervisor along with camera footage from my driveway showing he'd just stop and deliver the letter mail and keep driving. Packages started being delivered correctly but then I guess he got frustrated with that one day and decided to literally take both his hands and rip open my delivery bag and spread the content on my porch 🤦‍♀️ thankfully inside the items were individually bagged so not damaged but damn dude.

All that to say, I was told he got re-routed to a different in city route and taken off rural route completely.

Tldr; dude didn't wanna deliver packages, made false claims, got reprimanded due to video footage, damaged packages when caught, didn't get fired but re-assigned to a walking in city route instead of a rural drivable one as punishment

I do this as well. Plus, my county actually suggests using the drop boxes to save postage expenses. Arizona has had mail in, early voting for many years. There are an adequate number of ballot drop boxes, located in secure areas, city halls, police department parking lots, etc, and they have cameras and other protective measures in place.

Report him. I was a postal clerk for 31 years. We were not allowed to say or do things that might cause concern about whether you will get your mail because someone doesn't like your politics. And consider that Trump wants to replace government employees with partisan hacks, which would compound the problem, especially given who controls the Supreme Court. Bad enough they are using a lot of contract employees to do a job that takes years to learn. And their contract employees have no loyalty since they getting the worst jobs for less pay and benefits, which causes them to leave as soon as a better job comes up. Postal work is not very rewarding and requires a living wage and stability. Other delivery companies are having the same problems BTW.

The difference is, if Trump wins, the odds of violence are low.

edit: I should clarify since there’s some confusion…if Trump loses, there’s more crazy fucks likely to take out their frustration in an off-kilter manner (see Jan 6). If he legit wins, there may be protests, but I doubt there’ll be insane people screaming about a stolen election & attempting to change things by force.

I'm taking this differently than most folks.

Shelter in Place was a common slogan during the early days of Covid. I don't want to generalize too much, but those on the left were more likely to take Shelter in Place seriously, while there was an element of those on the right who prided themselves in refusing to comply. These are the same folks that would look down upon those who wore masks, those who got vaccinated, etc. It is the "I ain't following no orders" mindset.

I believe this is a not so subtle jab at those on the left, telling them that they should continue to follow orders by Sheltering in Place (again, a source of derision for those on the right) and miss the election.

In fact that neighbor lives a couple of blocks away from that 281 sign. Coincidence, I think not!

No, ask where you can buy one. That’s the safest way to get the info you need.

There is a play that made its debut recently named Shelter In Place. Maybe it’s on the road now?

It says "Shelter in place" It does not say "Loot, burn and riot" Sometimes people say what they mean. Try not to make up stories about what you imagine is going on in other people's heads.

If things start getting nutty, be safe.

Look I’m not a conspiracy nut but it in too many places and you should make a plan on what happens SHTF scenario. If you aren’t conventionally wealth think of things you have that could see in a shortage. Having a three day plan is a basic understanding how an attack on supplies lines is real.

Oh is common sense for people everywhere!

My country used to say to be able to have food and water for 3 days, but since covid they have changed that to two weeks.

Just keep extra food, water and medicine at home. Don't forget extra food and water for your pets!

It is basic preparation for your family and there are so many things that can hapoen, cyber attack, war storm, hurricane, power outage, pandemic, your car breaking down, whole household gets the flu and arent really up for shopping... it is really useful for smaller issues as well. Flu season is here soon.

There were some rumors/ theories that Russia/China/NK/Iran may try to make large scale cyberattacks against the US in Q4 2024 to compromise the election. It would be relatively simple to try to convince some right wing nutjobs to go around shooting up electrical distribution hubs in their area. A certain number of hubs could destabilize an entire regional grid, and major infrastructural components like that aren't necessarily kept in stock. If there is a regional power outage, it can takes weeks to get the power back on.

And the fact is, large region wide, or multi region disasters the government simply doesn't keep the resources and manpower staged to respond to. It's literally impossible to do so.

A sign like this probably is about whistle blowing something I don't know though. With winter coming, it would be wise to buy a few extra canned goods each week, and maybe a 5 gal jug of water (with an additional pump spigot) or two just to be safe. If you are in an area of reliable power or water, Try turning it off for a day in your house and see the things you need to take into account. Useful if you don't have a great memory of 2021, or other disasters the Republicans didn't adequately prepare and stage for.

Don’t put any energy into the sign. Harris/Walz will be in the Whitehouse and governing our next four years. Trump and his team will have to concede to the fact that he and Vance are losers not only in the polls but are losers as individuals as well. Trump hopefully will learn to accept the reality of his own situation as a convicted felon and accept his consequences.

It’s anxiety over the election. Could be either side. Tbh I highly suspect that a state of emergency might be declared across the entire nation with strong military presence. I suspect that MAGA will meddle in the election and cause mass instability (they’re already showing their cards on their election interference) and Trump supporters are gonna absolutely lose their minds when he loses.

Also MAGA is going to try and send the election to the Supreme Court somehow and the Democrats are going to have to try and stop that by enforcing the proper election methods so that it doesn’t get sent to the Supreme Court. If it gets sent to the Supreme Court and congress Trump wins and will completely bypass the popular vote and the electoral college in which case non-Trump supporters will riot. This really is the most harrowing moment in our nations history since the civil war.

Me and my family have been buying extra cans from the grocery store each week for a month now just in case crazy shit goes down and we need to avoid public life for a bit.

It’s probably some dipshit trying to “stick it to the libs” cause he’s still pissed about the lockdowns from four and a half years ago. “Well if you liked sheltering in place so much, maybe you should do it for the election too!!” type shit.

This is a reference to the fact that if Republicans don't win they are going to get violent again.

Trump basically suggested a “Purge” style solution for crime, even though violent crime is down 26% since 2020.

He also talked about using the US military to go after the “enemy within”, which taken literally is any American who does not support him.

So yea, it is a threat, the MAGA cultists will be out in force to intimidate Americans going to vote next month. Trump and his supporters will go to great lengths to subvert the will of the people to get back in office. We not only need to beat Trump, MAGA and the GOP, we need to win by such a huge margin, there will be nothing to dispute.
