TO EVERYONE SAYING TO THEMSELVES, "I want to help President Trump beat the voter fraud and WIN, but what can I do?" HERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW! (Thread includes free graphics for signs below!)
DO YOU HAVE A CAR, TRUCK, VAN, OR SOME KIND OF VEHICLE WITH WINDOWS THAT AREN'T TINTED REALLY DARK?
DO YOU OWN OR HAVE ACCESS TO A PRINTER FOR YOUR COMPUTER? It doesn't have to be anything fancy just a plain old printer. (YOU CAN STILL PARTICIPATE IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PRINTER. IF YOU HAVE MARKERS AND CAN HAND LETTER OR DRAW, THAT'S GREAT. The printer will just make this project look more professional, more legible, and make us look unified.)
GO OUT TODAY AND BUY A PACKAGE OF "WHITE CARDSTOCK" 8.5" X 11" SIZE. Cardstock is thicker than printer paper, but thin enough to go through your printer okay. If you can't find white, buy pastel yellow, blue, pink, or whatever color they have, as long as it's a light color.
You can buy cardstock at an office supply store like Office Max/Office Depot, Staples, or a local office supply store if you have one. If you don't have any of these types of stores in you area, try looking at Walmart, Target, craft stores like Hobby Lobby or Michaels, dollar stores, or even your grocery store.
WHILE YOU ARE AT THE STORE BUYING CARDSTOCK, BUY SOME MASKING TAPE OR PAINTER'S TAPE, it doesn't matter what size, the wider kind is good too. Don't buy supercheap masking tape, though, some of those don't stick very well. You don't need a permanent hold, but you will want to be able to reuse the tape.
"WHAT THE HECK AM I GOING TO DO WITH ALL THAT?"
WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO IS MAKE PRO-TRUMP SIGNS AND ANTI-VOTER FRAUD SIGNS TO PUT IN THE WINDOWS OF YOUR CAR, AND THEN YOU ARE GOING TO DRIVE AROUND YOUR TOWN, THE NEXT TOWN OVER, BUSY PARKING LOTS OF BIG STORES, IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, ON THE INTERSTATES, ON THE STATE ROADS, EVERY WHERE YOU CAN, IT DOESN'T MATTER! JUST DRIVE AROUND BUSY PLACES WHERE LOTS OF PEOPLE WILL SEE YOUR SIGNS! IF YOU CAN DRIVE AROUND FOR AN HOUR OR TWO AT A TIME, THAT WOULD BE GREAT!
WE ARE GOING TO BLANKET THE POPULACE WITH SUPPORT FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP! We want people to keep seeing "all these people with Trump stuff" EVERYWHERE! People that just watch the mainstream media still have NO IDEA that Trump was pulling in 20,000 to 50,000 supporters at every single rally he held, any city, any time of day or night, no matter how cold or hot it was – up to 5 TIMES A DAY!!! ALSO DON'T FORGET THE 200,000+ WATCHING ONLINE ON RSBN AND OTHER STREAMS FOR EVERY RALLY!
IF THERE IS WIDESPREAD, HIGHLY VISIBLE SUPPORT RIGHT NOW FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP, IT MAKES IT A HECK OF A LOT HARDER FOR THE DEMS TO STEAL THIS ELECTION BY CLAIMING THEY WON ALL THESE STATES WHERE THERE ARE TRUMP PEOPLE OUT AND ABOUT – EVERYWHERE!
It makes it easier for the unaware to believe that there is RAMPANT VOTER FRAUD going on when all they see are TONS OF TRUMP SUPPORTERS, AND US SHOWING THEM NEW EVIDENCE OF THE STEAL GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
You don't have to attend massive, coordinated, organized "peaceful protest gatherings" downtown in front of city hall or state capitols (see note below) TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!! THIS IS SOMETHING ANYONE CAN DO, EVEN SHY PEOPLE! You don't have to talk to anybody or be persuasive, or stand around in a crowd of strangers, JUST DRIVE AROUND WITH SIGNS!
(Note: Don't get me wrong, I am not discouraging STOP THE STEAL protests, please go to one if you like doing that kind of thing and are near one of the cities where they are doing one. You can even do some sign driving on your way to and home from one of these protests! IF YOU WANT TO, YOU CAN PRINT OUT THESE SIGNS AND GLUESTICK THEM TO POSTERBOARD AND TAKE THEM TO YOUR RALLY!)
IT IS IMPORTANT TO DISPLAY SIGNS EVERYWHERE, EVEN STATES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN CALLED FOR TRUMP OR BIDEN. We want people that see this to get to talking with their friends and relatives in other states and say, "Oh by the way, I keep seeing all these cars with Trump stuff on them in my town." "Hey, I saw some in my town too! What's up with that? One of them had a sign that said people were bringing coolers full of ballots into Detroit at 4 am. Do you know anything about that?" GET THEM CURIOUS AND BREAK THE MEDIA'S FIREWALL OF IGNORANCE!!!!
For those of you saying, "I'd like to do that, but I'm afraid someone is going to key my car or break my windows, etc. when I park" here is how we avoid that. DO THE DRIVING WHEN YOU HAVE FREE TIME, AND DON'T STOP AND LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE UNATTENDED. OR, IF YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH FREE TIME TO DO THIS, PUT YOUR SIGNS UP BEFORE YOU LEAVE HOME, AND WHEN YOU GET TO YOUR DESTINATION, TAKE YOUR SIGNS DOWN OFF THE WINDOWS AND HIDE THEM IN A BOX, UNDER A BLANKET, OR IN THE TRUNK (SOMEWHERE PEOPLE WALKING BY YOUR CAR WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE, DON'T LEAVE THEM ON THE SEATS OR FLOOR UNCOVERED WHERE THEY ARE VISIBLE). If you're worried someone in the parking lot (such as a co-worker or a random nutjob) is going to see you and your signs while you are taking them down, stop somewhere nearby before you get to your destination and take them down there. Now you just have a normal car again that nobody has any reason to mess with! When you get done with your stop and get back in the car, PUT YOUR SIGNS BACK UP!
The cardstock is sturdier than paper, and makes it easier to remove your signs from the windows without destroying them, and the masking tape peels off pretty easily from the windows and is reusable (you can take your signs down and put them back up multiple times). If you can't find cardstock but really want to participate, just use printer paper or photo paper if you have that.
SIGN DESIGN TIPS (If you're making your own)
• KEEP IT SIMPLE! There isn't a ton of room on an 8.5" x 11" piece of paper and people are going to be at least 10 to 15 feet away from them at a minimum. Also they are going to be moving around at 20 to 70+ mph depending on where you are driving (until you get to a stop light). DON'T TRY TO PUT TOO MANY WORDS ON ONE SIGN! Break it up into 2 or 3 pages of cardstock if necessary.
• USE "WHITE SPACE" IN YOUR LAYOUT (that just means don't make your words too crowded together, having space makes it easier to read.)
• USE FONTS THAT ARE EASY TO READ FROM A DISTANCE! Print a test copy out, stand it up on your desk, go across the room or down the hallway and see if you can read it. If not, change your font or design!
• If you are making a simple one, two, or three word sign like "TRUMP", "TRUMP PENCE", or "STOP VOTER FRAUD!" you can use much heavier, thicker, bolder fonts than if you have a longer phrase.
• You can mix and match upper case and lower case similar to how a newspaper would for a headline and description under it. Such as: TRUMP is my president
FREE SIGNS YOU CAN DOWNLOAD AND PRINT OUT!!!
• THIS THREAD IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A "TEASE" THAT MAKES YOU DO A BUNCH OF WORK YOURSELF! I will be posting signs in this thread that you can use.
• Shortly after I post this thread, I'll start posting some images for completed signs. All you'll have to do is save and print them.
• I am going to post them here on TDW, then I'll put links to each image in comments in this thread. Comments with an image link will start "NEW SIGN: " and include a description.
• The files will be in .png format, and well below the 12 MB file size upload limit (most will be around 200 KB).
• The signs are designed for 8.5" x 11" paper size, and will be 300 dpi, so they will look nice when you print them out, not pixelated and jaggy.
• I'm going to start out with most of the images having white backgrounds, so you don't have to use as much ink to print them out (and then you can print more signs).
• Because they are PNGs, when you click on the link and the image loads in your browser, it may look humongous (unless your browser auto-scales them to fit in the browser window). Don't worry about this, just right-click on it and "Save Image As..."
• I don't know if printing them directly from your web browser will work correctly. You can try it, but if it doesn't, then just save the image to your hard drive and open it in any graphics program or whatever default program Windows, MacOS, or Linux chooses for you. It doesn't need to be Photoshop or anything fancy, it's just a simple image file.
• You can try printing them on regular printer paper or photo paper if you can't find cardstock. Photo paper is heavier duty than regular paper, but is more expensive than card stock.
• If you have problems getting them to work, let me know in the comments and I may change some of the details above to solve the problem.
• If you have suggestions for a phrase for a sign you want, you can post a reply and start your post with "SUGGESTION: " then your idea. This will make it easier to see. I'll try to make some for you if you have good ideas that aren't too similar to the ones I already made! If I make your idea (or one very similar, I'll reply to you in this thread with the link).
• Does anybody know if there is a way on TDW to "uncollapse" a thread so you can see EVERY comment. In threads that get a lot of comments, I've noticed that even when you click the link for "all comments" (that adds a /c/ on the URL) eventually you get these little light gray links in between comments that say "...continue reading thread?" that you have to click to see the rest. I've tried changing that "sorted by: " menu thing with the "top, new, old, worst" choices, but it still seems like stuff is missing. It's kind of a pain to have to keep clicking those little light gray links and getting taken to another page.
• Please bookmark and keep checking back to this thread. Also if you guys like the thread can you make it a sticky? I don't know how to do that, is it just based on popularity of the thread? The more people that participate, the more success we can have!
PRINTING TIPS
• Printing in COLOR is good, but not necessary. BLACK & WHITE or GRAYSCALE is fine too. The most important thing is LEGIBILITY FROM A DISTANCE! If people can't read your signs, they aren't going to be influenced by them.
• If you are printing a sign someone else made and it is getting cut off, before you print next time, CHANGE THE SCALE to something smaller than 100%. Try 95% or something until it fits on your 8.5" x 11" cardstock.
• In the PRINT SETTINGS, you don't have to use "High Quality" or "Photo" just use a medium setting (don't use the lowest-quality "fast" or "economy" setting).
- For PAPER TYPE setting, "Plain paper" should be ok, but you can experiment.
• If your printer has a setting for "THICK PAPER" or "ENVELOPES" try enabling that, but for most printers it's ok if you don't.
TIPS FOR DISPLAYING YOUR SIGNS
• Put your signs on the INSIDE OF YOUR CAR'S WINDOWS! You don't want them blowing off or getting wet if it starts raining!
• Masking tape works well to hold up the signs, just rip off pieces about 2 to 3 inches long and put a piece across the back side of each corner of your sign. It doesn't have to be pretty, just get them up! You can easily take them down and put them back up, and if you buy nice tape it should be reusable at least several times.
• MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT BLOCKING YOUR VISION WITH YOUR SIGNS and are able to see out of all of your vehicle's windows from the driver's seat well enough to drive properly! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOUR SAFETY!!! The last thing you want is to get into an accident because you couldn't see!!! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TIP IN THIS WHOLE ARTICLE!!!!
• Put up as many signs or as few as you feel comfortable with as long as you have at least one. Whether you put up full sheet 8.5" x 11" signs, or print and then cut out a smaller bumpersticker size design, just put up something! Obviously every vehicle has different sized and shaped windows, so that will determine what is possible. If you can put some signs on the back window and some on the side windows, so people see them from every direction that would be awesome, but EVERY SIGN MATTERS™ even just one!!!
• You can put signs on the back window that take longer to read (have more text) because when you stop at stop lights, the driver behind you has time to look at them. That's why it's good to drive around at times with high traffic. You can also put one on the front passenger side window and pull up at stoplights so that the driver in the car in the lane to your right can read your sign.
• Signs you put on the side windows (windows above doors) work better with shorter messages, because those windows are harder to see while driving. This is a great place for simple "TRUMP" signs.
• After you put up the signs and before you start driving, walk around your vehicle and look at the signs. Stand 10 to 20 feet away. Can you read them? Make sure they are legible and positioned where other people can see them easily.
• If you don't want your neighbors to see your signs, before you put them on the windows, drive out to a big parking lot with some empty space or somewhere out in the country and put up your signs on the windows there. Then go do your driving around, and before you go home to your neighborhood, stop somewhere similar to take your signs down.
• If you have a longer message to convey, you may need to split it up onto two or more 8.5" x 11" sheets of cardstock. Otherwise, you would have to make the type way too small to read from another car. For example: Sheet 1: "DID YOU HEAR? People in Detroit got caught" Sheet 2: "Bringing coolers full of ballots into polling places at 4 AM." Sheet 3: "THAT'S VOTER FRAUD"

Why am I just seeing this?? I got here from your post today with the thumbnails. Love all of this!!!!
I'm glad you found it! :-)
This is "the thread that started it all" (my first post on TD.W about signs and driving around with them to spread messages). This page has the best description and most detail about my idea for that, but some people were asking me to make it shorter so people could read it more quickly. So the next couple of times I posted the idea and sign links, I made it more concise. Then after a couple of weeks I came up with the idea to post the thumbnail graphics to make it easier for people to visualize the designs without having to click on dozens of links, which has become very popular.
This thread is still a great resource for anybody that is new to doing something like putting signs in their vehicle and driving around like a mobile billboard of truth. There are a lot of questions answered for people who might be interested in "doing something to help" but are apprehensive about what might happen.
For anyone else coming to this page that hasn't seen it, here is the most current (as of December 12, 2020) "catalog" of my signs, bumper stickers, business cards, and sticker designs, complete with full-color thumbnail preview pics. There are now over 100 designs, including many not on this page!
