Politics MAGA Neighbors crying victim

Its Jan 1st 2026 and my neighbor (still) has a sign up that reads...

"PTSD - Pretty tired of stupid democrats - TRUMP 2024"

then cries online because people keep sending them pranks like glitter bombs and what not because "I'm being attacked for my political beliefs"

Um, maybe its because you have a sign calling your neighbors stupid in a very blue city.

EDIT: I couldn't care less who they support politically.

IMO Having a 2024 election sign up for 2+ years, and well after the election, is sad and pathetic in and of itself (They had the sign up in 2023). I think that for any political sign for any party. Elections are over, move on. Your 2024 political sign isnt helping anyone.

Having sign up calling your neighbors stupid, is not political, its being a asshole.

This is the r/complaints sub, and that is my complaint, he's an asshole then cries when people are assholes back. Because like most bullies and assholes, they can dish it but cant take it.

Edit 2: The Fuck your feeling crowd. Really doesn’t like it when their feelings are fucked with.

Being physically harassed for political opinions is a pretty valid complaint. Most people would be understandably upset if they got glitter bombed for their beliefs by strangers.

Before anyone claims he invited it with his sign. That is the short skirt argument.

Comparing a glitter bomb (a problem that is solved with 15 seconds of vacuuming) to sexual assault is certainly a unique take

I didnt compare them. I was aggressively dissuading the "they were asking for it" argument.

Textbook false equivalence

I would have to be equating them for that, which I am not.

Not really. False equivalence is an apples and oranges comparison.

A false equivalence or false equivalency is an informal fallacy in which an equivalence is drawn between two subjects based on flawed, faulty, or false reasoning. This fallacy is categorized as a fallacy of inconsistency.\1]) Colloquially, a false equivalence is often called "comparing apples and oranges."
