I was in NH on Thursday, driving through the Trump belt of New England.
I noticed tons of signs for politicians in local state elections, but only 2 places
sporting Trump signs. . . he has become a political leper up there.
In Massachusetts, my home state, Trump signs are as scarce as hen's teeth --
but there are plenty of BLM yard signs.
I also saw a great bumper sticker (aka Bumpah Stickah) -- BYE DON 2020.

(2,608 posts)Plenty of Orange Asshat signs here. A week ago I passed thru West Brookfield where a Trump rally was being held. My neighbor has a WWG1WWA in big vinyl letters on his pickup. I live in the reddest part of this blue state.

(17,615 posts)...so the Gramma in her moved back from Wash State to Ohio. Shes NOT happy and has since purchased land near one of our Islands to build and retire in. She did get a GORGEOUS LARGE home in Ohio for 250K. That will just about pay for the land shes going to build on here in Washington State....

(35,321 posts)serious trouble. Obama and Biden saved the auto industry? Last year there were tons of soy beans rotting on the
ground because of Trump's tariff war. The current unemployment rate is 8.9%. Why?

(17,615 posts)..so its mainly seen by turkeys and deer and the occasional lost camper. I also have the magnet sticker on my car along with The Resistance and "JOE BIDEN 2020 Because Hes Not a Whiny B*itch". So the once a week I venture into town my bumper stickers have drawn lots of thumbs up. BUT I do NOT see all the nauseating humongous trump* signs in all the fields like I used to see. Just one or 2 and a few yard signs. I see more state level signage.

(205,074 posts)In the supermarket parking lot. But I don't find that reassuring since I've seen Stefanik signs all over, my current congressperson who has been increasingly supportive of Trump. She teamed up with Gym Jordan at the impeachment hearings. I was really hoping that she was finally on her way out. The good news is that I've also seen several Biden signs for the first time. I was told that they gave them out locally last weekend, but that they ran out early on... *fingers crossed*

(205,074 posts)Do they think all those prayer and "blessed" stickers will keep them safe? I'd think more likely a target! I feel bad for the poor car!

(4,223 posts)These hillbillies are building shrines to IT. They cannot put out just one sign...they have flags, lifesize cutouts of IT, etc. They are stealing Biden signs and egging houses. It is a nightmare here.

(15,273 posts)Trump signs out as I expected, but I've been surprised by the number of Biden/Harris signs. There aren't a lot of yard signs out in total, but I'd guess about 55/45 Trump to Biden.

(67,782 posts)....dozens of BLM signs, many in places I'd never expect.
Signs around here start going up after Labor Day, they've been slow going up this year. I think people are just shell shocked by everything that's happened.

(2,769 posts)Sign one, a huge one down on Rte 20 is a goner.
In 2016, sign two was on a lawn that I passed by while walking my dogs. It hasn't been put up this year. The guy who lives there is a pleasant enough man that I've chatted with about gardens, not politics. I hope he's had a Come-to-Jesus moment.
