Among the myriad lawn signs sprouting in anticipation of November's presidential election, two are noteworthy for their seeming nonpartisanship:
The first sign _ "ANY FUNCTIONING ADULT 2020" _ makes light of America's current upheaval, tacitly confessing how little today's disillusioned voters expect of their elected leaders.
The second, beginning with the words "IN THIS HOUSE," advertises the occupants' allegiance to a list of cardinal virtues _ kindness, respect for learning, compassion for those with disabilities, etc. _ as timeless and anodyne as the Girl Scout Law.
Neither sign mentions any candidate, political party or elective office. But it is telling that both signs are understood _ instantly and universally _ to signal the resident's opposition to Donald Trump's reelection.
