I've seen large posters for both candidates on the windshield of golf carts. I have no issue. People want to proclaim who they support. It's non-violent. I have NO desire to do that, but I respect that everyone has freedom of speech.
Exactly. Youre not going to like everything you see so you dont like it? Dont look!

Golf cart signage
And people wonder why the younger generation is out of control - oh, they learned it from their parents / grandparents.

I don't mind the signage (and it won't influence my vote)...however I don't believe that I've seen any offensive language on a golf cart either

...but then again, as the old WWII song goes "we don't get around much anymore"

Drive on Morse towards 466 going toward 441. You will see them at that corner near Hacienda villas. Unless your talking about being from NYC and you never hear a word that was offensive?

I completely agree with you. They tiny cross should have been allowed. I feel sorry for the person who reported it!

My neighbor has lots of lawn ornaments and designs. Everyone minds their own business and no one freaks out about violations.

Totally concur. Great to support something YOU really believe in. But, what kind of devious mind viciously and salaciously slanders with utter disgusting words something they DON"T believe in? Answer=Mental Derangement

I have been tempted to call police because of it. Not the choice of candidate.
This. There is a presidential election every 4 years and every 4 years people place political signs in their yards, bumper stickers on their cars, banners on their golf carts, etc. Normal political signs are not the problem.

The problem is with those who choose to articulate their views with obscene, crude, offensive language and images. I really think that their goal is to create such a stir that ALL political signs get banned which would be ridiculous.

I agree on the vulgarity. As for the size of the sign(s), as long as it's not blocking their view, it's their choice. Which, BTW, the signs should not obstruct their straight ahead view, like vehicles, not the lower part of the windshield(which is your dashboard height in a vehicle)?!

I agree, the days of putting on even a bumper sticker are gone forever. Not worth it.

I totally agree. Yesterday I say a Biden / Harris sign. How obscene. All kidding aside respect being decent is something that has been forgotten in the name of tolerance. We don't have to accept this behavior as their right.

omg, you are sooo correct! we didn't dare put 1 on the car, it might get stripped as we sleep
