(2,003 posts)Keep in mind, along with a lot of this "fuck Trump" graffiti, some property owner receives a letter in the mail telling them to remove it at their expense or get fined for each day they don't.

(146,338 posts)painted on a residential garage door? I think not. What would be the point? I live on a street with almost no traffic at all. Graffiti is painted to be seen.
And, yes, it is often removed, or painted over, giving the graffiti artists a fresh canvas on which to work. I rarely see graffiti on residential single family homes, though. More public venues are usually the target.
I do have some railroad tracks near my home though. Freight cars are a very common canvas for graffiti. Some of it is very creative, too.
My graffiti days are over, now, however, and more's the pity. I have to leave that to younger people who can run faster. In my day, though...Back then, though, the target was Nixon, you understand.

(2,003 posts)The last one (and that one doesn't appear to be in America).
The other three appear to be business or residential structures of some sort which means someone has to go out there and clean it up.

(146,338 posts)Graffiti is a temporary art form. Always. Graffiti is a political statement. Always. Of some sort, at least.
If I owned a building that was a likely target for graffiti, I would apply a finish to the exterior that allowed any graffiti to be washed off with a power washer. Such materials are readily available and widely used. The artist makes a statement and the property owner removes it when it is convenient to do so. In some cases, the owner waits until ordered to remove it, if the owner agrees with the expressed statement.
Do you own a building that has been tagged? If so, I can give you some links for graffiti resistant coatings.
Here's one, for example:

(10,843 posts)We might refer to this as:
The Art of the Resistance.
Which is what art was always meant to be. You may fool some of the people some of the time. But for the artist? She/he always sees you for what you truly are.
The writing is on the wall and it will eventually be written behind the eyelids of every American.
Trump and his cabal are going down. Deservedly so.

(146,338 posts)However, I will be 72 at the end of this month. Am I old? Well, I suppose I am, but my 92 year old parents would insist that I'm still their boy.
