Professor's anti-Trump Halloween decorations sparks outrage in town

[FlatBootyJudy]

Halloween is just a few weeks away, and one Connecticut homeowner has chosen to turn the display in his front yard into a political message knocking President Trump.

Matt Warshauer, a history professor at Central Connecticut State University, told FOX 61 his lavish displays went from traditional to political around the start of the Iraq War.

“As a historian one of my goals is always to educate people and try and at least begin conversations,” Warshauer said.

This year's display, named “The Trumpian Ship of State,” features a giant pirate ship named “Constitution,” commanded by a smoke breathing Trump.

In addition to skeleton portrayed as ex-FBI Director James Comey walking the plank, the display includes a child with a DACA sign appearing to be ready to be thrown off the ship, a nod to the debate over what to do with the young illegal immigrants often called "DREAMers."

“The day after the election last year I thought, the American ship of state has gone horribly off course,” Warshauer told FOX 61. “It's a pirate ship because Trump and most of his cabinet and people surrounding him are pirates who are pillaging this country.”

In addition to the main ship, there's also a smaller rowboat on his lawn with a depiction of President Abraham Lincoln holding a sign which reads, “What’s become of my party?”

The professor said he hopes the Halloween display sparks conversation, and has already attracted a crowd since going up.

“If it gets people talking and more people are more educated about the ins and outs of what's going on in our system, I think it's a great thing,” passerby Bobby Holloway said.

This is rather distasteful and pathetic, glad I don't live next to this guy!

It's glorious.

[Jotaux]

That looks like it took a lot of work. I have no issues with someone doing that on their front lawn, it's not like he's forcing his students to participate or anything like that.

This guy deserves some price! Awesome.

[Brubear]

Conservatives now that Trump is in office.

"It's so distasteful and disrespectful the way people insult and mock our President!"

Conservatives under Obama.

But it isn't inaccurate!

I thought PC was dead. Why are Trump supporters always offended?

Also, the comment section is, as always, fucking hilarious.

"We had to run the british out, now we'll have to run the liberals out".

I especially enjoy the guy saying the professor needs to stop being butthurt while everyone else's anus in the comments is puckered tighter than Ben Carsons eyes are shut.

Saaaaafe Spaaaace.

[HumbleDuck]

Professors continue to prove to me how much smarter I am in comparison to them.

This is gold!

I love it, rofl.

Would you like a safe space?

[josykay]

Looks great, and I like the Lincoln in the row boat.

[Dextroden]

Are they ghost pirates?

[Allerius]

And people say Trump can't stop illegals who come by boat. Thanks Matt Warshauer, your faith in Trump is admirable.

[Worvon]

The people who are outraged about it should mind their own god damn business.

Won't happen. The most vocal thing on earth is a triggered conservative snowflake and there are tons of them now. They need their safe spaces.
