Fighting fire with fire, or more appropriately, sign with sign. Fighting bigotry in Flushing Twp, MI

A local Trump supporter, angry because someone stole his yard signs, decided to construct one of his own. He called it a joke and made reference to presidential candidate Donald Trump's slogan of "Make America Great Again". Strangely, he is insisting on staying anonymous because he claims he has received death threats. Which is why, perhaps, at one point he put the sign in someone else’s yard. Stranger yet, Flushing Township, MI, where this took place, is about 96% white.



Some people took offence, and decided to display some signs of their own.

Funny how he thinks he can stay anonymous when he appeared on the news, filed a police report and none of his neighbors seem to have any problem with identifying who he is.
