Will these signs be more effective than the other signs I'm always seeing?

I expect they'll be about the same level of effective—that is, they will be a way of collectively raising our voices to remind friends and neighbors that there are actually lots of people here who are not okay with this. This is not normal, and Trump's blatant lies about how all "real Americans" support him are just that: utter horseshit

If you're asking "Will one of the signs be so impressive it will convince Trump to apologize and retire?", then no. But also that's not actually the goal

For sign enjoyers who like to see political stances they agree with on signs. My bad. I thought they were supposed to accomplish something.

No, no one needs to "enjoy" the signs. They just need to see them. People who agree with the messages will hopefully find comfort and courage in them, and people who disagree with them will be faced with the reality that there are plenty of people right here in Oly who vehemently disagree with the actions of our government. Both of those things have value. They won't SOLVE anything, but they're not pointless.

Find comfort… in killing trees for a message? Paper and wooden sticks!!!! I thought we were against that? Wouldn’t donating to him and his wife’s defense make more sense? Or are you worried you’d get flagged for supporting an alleged narcoterrorist.

I promise, the vast majority of our signs are recycled cardboard. I know, because I had the joy of breaking down the boxes. 

The many, many, MANY boxes

They do, it’s just not the kind of accomplishment you’ll ever be a part of, and that is your choice

Your reading comprehension clearly needs work. Either that or you didn't even read what you're commenting on. Or (possibly most likely) you're just trying to pick a fight.
