Re: Trump Crazies in the Neighborhood

Respectfully disagree, good photography can be thought provoking, this is an important moment in our history and as long as we can discuss respectfully and maturely it should stay, we shouldn't be calling for censoring.
Oh bølløcks please.
This has nothing to do with censorship, and the OP has nothing to do with photography or Sigma cameras. People can see right through your sanctimoniously smug excuse.
Sorry if I sound blunt but there's nothing to discuss about those particular shots. They're clearly mere snapshots of some political yard signs with no photographic merit of any kind. There's no attempt to any meaningful composition or even visually interesting angles or lighting, let alone to highlight the particular merits of the camera.
The yellow cast in two of the shots has been completely ignored, as the headline of the OP is telling what the post is really all about. Which was also quite clearly highlighted in the header of the OP. The camera is completely irrelevant here, it's all about the 'crazies' next door.
I'm not the admin but I do think politics and TDS do not belong to the Sigma Camera Talk. There is no shortage of other online venues to discuss politics and the US election circus all over the internyet, and there's no shortage of TDS and people pointing fingers at the "crazies" on each side.
There's already some TDS-infected commentary in the thread. For example, "trump tried to win with violence and intimidation that is still ongoing" is just an underinformed opinion that has nothing whatsoever to do with Sigma gear, lenses or photography, and it will lead to nothing constructive. It may be a valid opinion for some other thread in another forum for sure, but not this one.
Besides, the DPR forum has a global audience, and therefore to quite a few of them it's not about any significant "moment in our history." It's just an annoying and needlessly polarising distraction. Whichever side you're rooting/betting for. Quite a few of them neither hate or love Trump. Or Biden ftm. Nonetheless most of them don't want to endure that 'moment in history' in a photo/video forum of all places.
In short, there's nothing else to see here .
Let's just respectfully nuke or lock this thread and move on, shall we.
