Last week, I was discouraged to see political sign aggression in my town. Someone had put up two Paul Hodes signs on either side of Becky Whitley signs, sandwiching hers in between, completely obscuring them from view. It made me wonder if this was a reflection on his supporters, or on the candidate himself. What is the message? Desperation, arrogance, or just has a not-so-funny sense of humor?
What came to mind was Donald Trump in the debate with Hillary Clinton, where he loomed all around her, displaying himself as a dominant male, as if positioning for attack. A not-so-passive aggressive approach.
I hope this isn’t what Mr. Hodes is about, but the sign aggression certainly speaks volumes.
Could we please be civil in our campaigning?
