You should learn what virtue signalling actually means. It's not only displaying stuff of a political nature, but trying to make it out that you're better than others because of it. To add to that, it might not even be something you really believe in, but only do it because it's a trend, or to make money.
In Russia you more likely will find something like t-shirts or stickers "Za НаVального". It is "For Navalny" (jailed by Putin pro-west opposition leader) with Z and V letters used by Russian military units in Ukraine. US equivalent could be something like "Biden is Qool!". Advertising sarcastic absurdism and political nihilism in full scale.
I'm not saying those people don't exist, I'm sure they do. I just haven't seen any since Obama. Plenty of Obama shirts and bumperstickers. But now, a year and a half since Trump left office, I'm still seeing Trump flags and merch everywhere. Really cool to make it your personality. Relevant username.

So every single action I described. Got it.
If you advertise your political position, you're a sitting duck these days.

Both sides are not any different.
Memes, slangs, doing nothing to solve the problem.
