It's what you Liberals do. You tear down Trump signs, you tore down signs for Republican governor, and for years you do this here in our county. It doesn't matter. Pres. Bush signs, Down. Republican Senator signs, Down. Your party has been very consistent in this nationwide. Touchy, feely, Port Townsend/Jefferson County Democrats same way. 
It's What You Do... No amount of apologies hides the disdain, and hate the Liberal Democrat has for anyone that believes or votes other than your way.
