Those signs are usually accompanied by a few other slogans that should tip you off that they're a response to certain cultural force in the world that lauds ignorance and hate - they're not trying to say they're intellectuals, they just listen to their doctors and do their best to take a kind and informed approach.
It strikes me as a response to a trend callousness and deliberate ignorance.

- lolinder 3y agoThose signs are just as guilty of pushing ignorance and hate as the cultural force you're alluding to—you perceive them to be different because their ignorance overlaps with yours and they hate the things you hate. Signs like these take a strawman version of "the other side" and define the residents of the home in opposition to that strawman. It's evidence that the person who put it up views themselves as part of the culture war, not evidence that they strive to be kind to and understanding of people who are different than them.
