The only real effect of those signs is to signal which type of insufferable dork lives there. Rolling with classic halloween decorations on the other hand projects great virility and the ability to throw an enjoyable barbeque
There’s a little cottage industry among philosophers of making versions of those “In this house” signs that feature all the weird arcane bullshit positions that philosophers have about weird inscrutable issues that professional philosophers care about and customizing them to whatever brain-melting combination of things the particular individual believes. That is 10,000 times less cringe than having an election sign. I’d rather have a yard sign that says “in this house we deny the analytic / synthetic distinction” than an election sign any day of the week.
