Someone I know who isn't me wants to know how illegal it is to go and spray paint a swastika on Trump signs or the houses/driveways with a Trump sign.
He says it would be a good idea to remind everyone of who these people are and it would be visible for a bit longer.
IANAL but I looked into it -
In the US, political signs are considered private property so you could get arrested and charged with vandalism (if you get caught).
It's unlikely you would be charged with trespassing (since that usually requires multiple repeat offenses on the same property).
It's probably something you could beat in court as long as you don't talk to the cops during your arrest and pay good lawyers.
Not legal at all, but legal and moral aren't always the same. You just have to choose to accept the consequences.
