Political Yard Signs on a Quiet Minneapolis Street

Dictator or Democracy yard signs in South Minneapolis
Along a residential sidewalk in Minneapolis, a cluster of political yard signs stands amid winter’s dry grass and bare trees — remnants of the long, impassioned American election cycles that have made even quiet neighborhoods into public forums. The signs, declaring messages such as “Dictator or Democracy — That’s the Choice” and “All Are Welcome Here,” capture the tension and idealism that often coexist in modern U.S. political life.
