Thanks for catching the error, I fixed the description.

I've never thought it a good idea for businesses to have political signs on 
display. Seems silly to alienate those who disagree with you. Small 
Midwestern towns like Hicksville are solid Trump country, so he probably 
didn't alienate many; but even the loss of a few customers means lost 
revenue.

Chris, Interesting photo of a tawdry place probably owned by a tawdry 
mind. I notice an error in the description of the sign in your photo. 
You say "It says "Biggest Idiot Degenerate Ever (the fifth word is 
hidden)." The hidden final word presumably starts with the letter N, so 
that the first letter of each line spells "BIDEN."
On that BIDEN sign, the last word was probably Nominated as I saw 
t-shirts with a similar slogan. If you look closer at the sign in the 
window you'll see it's not "Degenerate" but Democrat.


Alienation - what a great business plan. Being public about his politics 
probably made him and his business surplus to requirements in Hicksville.


It's hard being a hick in Hicksville,
Where echoes of a radio thrill.
Right-wing rants with narrow views,
Broadcasting ignorance, fanning the blues.


A voice that resonates with bias and spite,
A host of division, stirring the fight.
In Hicksville's streets, where tolerance wanes,
A challenge to overcome narrow-minded reins.
