With both Halloween and the presidential election in full swing, voters have been having a hard time choosing between traditional Halloween decor and their favorite candidate’s front yard paraphernalia. In an attempt to save money, reduce the amount of work that goes into Halloween decorating, and avoid having to make awkward conversation with their perfectly nice neighbors, homeowners have decided to merge their political leanings and Halloween decor. vlad decided to take a drive around her neighborhood, scanning front yards for the best examples of these Politiween (newly coined Thursday Detention term) decorations. Here’s what she found:
A skeleton under a sign that reads “Any functioning adult [for] President 2020.” Seems profound. Ms. Stevenson, a little help close reading this one?
Biden 2020 jack-o-lanterns. The beginning stages of rot, leftover sharpie outlines, and general sloppiness beg the question: Is this a #settleforbiden household?
There’s a lot going on in this one; they’ve got the basic Halloween decor down: pumpkins, ghosts, spider webs, but let’s take a closer look. Hanging from their tree is a Trump cutout draped in a ragged Halloween-y cloak and holding not one, but TWO American flags. Say what you want about this house, but they’ve definitely embraced the spirit of this uniquely American holiday!
Ah yes, the classic papier-mâché Trump wearing Biden stickers and holding a Biden yard sign. This house went all out with the Halloween decorations, but would you classify this statement piece as Politiween decor, or are the devil horns strictly political commentary?
Last but certainly not least is this horribly photographed balcony boasting a life-size cutout of Melania and Donald Trump. No Halloween decor is in sight, but this feels a little too insane to be a year-round thing. Thoughts?
