Something like this doesn't exist in Poland, well not in the shape or form it's in the US. At most if someone has the ability to, you will see officially printed banners from a party being hanged on someone's fence.

Here's an example how this even looks like, straight from a banner printing service: https://www.taniebanery.com.pl/

Of course they are an eyesore, a waste of materials, and are littered fucking everywhere during election season.

Okay, sometimes there's exceptions

But they aren't novelty items that are stylized to look like straight out of Barbie.

So again. Why the fuck is America such a weird and wild country? Why the fuck would anyone promote a politician out of their own pocket in a "quirky" and "cutesy" or "relatable" way???

Jesus I hate the US. Yes this is a bit of a vent post, cry about it :3

Harry William Baals (/bɔːlz/ BAWLZ; November 16, 1886 – May 9, 1954) was an American politician who was the Republican mayor of Fort Wayne, Indiana, from 1934 to 1947, and from 1951 until his death in 1954.

...

Harry Baals Drive was named in his honor. It extends east from Parnell Avenue, north and west of the St. Joseph River in Johnny Appleseed Park. In recent years, the double entendre arising from Baals's name has led Fort Wayne officials to shy away from naming streets and buildings after him. The aforementioned street has been renamed "H. W. Baals Drive" due to persistent theft of the street sign.
