On my drive back home tonight.
Three weeks ago, when driving down a particular stretch of highway, I saw large trump signs in several places. Many are just put in huge fields of corn or soybeans with no house visible. Others were in front of peoples homes.
I took note of each location, as this road and the properties are quite familiar to me.
This afternoon, I looked for the signs (as I generally salute them when I drive past).
There were fewer trump signs ... the most notable ones being those placed in front of peoples homes. My son queried me, making certain my memory was not wrong. I explained why I knew each of the missing signs had been there before. I am fairly observant of tractors, horses, recent building additions ... and who puts up those gawdawful signs.
There were many Biden/Harris signs along the way.
It made me feel rather optimistic ... I live in a very red area.

(4,604 posts)almost all the trump signs I saw were in small groups at turn-offs to side roads or on seldom used side entrances to farms/fields. There were in spots where those annoying junk hauler and real estate signs tend spring up overnight, like someone just slapped them up without permission in spots where it might take a few days for them to be noticed and removed by the county or property owners. Smelled kinda desperate, lol!
It was the same route I drove last week, and there were even more Biden/Harris signs up this time! Someone even had a large banner across their top porch. Nice! I also overheard someone in the group next to us at the game say, Well, I used to be a republican. Made my day.

I see quite a few Biden signs and bumper stickers in both neighborhoods. Tennessee is probably a lost cause, though.

(111,245 posts)I'd be terribly afraid those signs were being pulled up because of Putin's bots spreading horseshit about the violent threat from Antifa that is breaking out all over the country, funded, of course, by George Soros. People, especially those on the far right, tend to believe anything they read on Facebook but not a word from people who use fact checkers.

(51,280 posts)The insult to the losers and suckers in the military finally left a mark ...
We are so rural that the fear of antifa never registers here ... these peeps are all deeply entrenched in their god, gays and guns ...
But, almost every family has an active military or a veteran ....

Trump signs everywhere

(205,183 posts)And when my friend went to the site where they were giving out Democratic signs this past weekend, they had run out of Biden signs before he even got there. And the only Trump sign that I've seen was a sticker in the window of a pickup truck in the supermarket parking lot - next to a sticker of a skull and crossbones...
