Encouragement in my red city.

[Blue Dawn]

I live in the reddest county in a very red state, so I sadly have expected to see many Trump yard signs the past few months, just as I saw during the past two elections.

Today, while driving to and from an appointment, I was very happy to count 10 Harris/Walz signs and only 2 Trump signs (and one of those was a really tiny sign.).

Trump yard signs seemed to be everywhere I turned in 2016 and 2020, but they are certainly very scarce around here now.

I am cautiously hopeful that this is a national trend reflecting people's discontentment with the Orange Dingleberry.

My local Democratic candidate yard signs are out, and I am so hoping that Gloria Johnson wins! She is such a wonderful person. Please, no more Marsha Blackburn!!

My Harris/Walz yard sign is on its way! Woohoo!

1. Wondering what is the meaning of the big blue dot?

Should I get some for the yard?

5. I've seen it referring to the district in Omaha

as The Blue Dot

7. I just saw that online, too...

....catbyte.

I really thought the sign was interesting.

6. I had to look up those blue dot signs.

I wasn't familiar with them, but I actuallyI kind of like those signs. I may just have to buy one.

Are you going to get one?

8. My understanding is that the blue dot is a reference to Omaha, NE...

As Nebraska separates and sends it's electoral collage slate by districts; Omaha being the only one to send a Democratic elector and the others being Republican in the last couple presidential elections.
Blue dot signage has become a way of indicating you're a Democrat without announcing the candidate you're voting for. It's a relatively safe way of showing support in seriously red areas.

2. Surprised to see Harris yard signs in Hartsville

Couple of weeks ago on roadtrip into middle Tennessee. Even had a big pickup roll a window to compliment the UNWEIRD on the back of the car.
Strange things are afoot at the Circle K.

4. Yes!

I think changes are happening. Finally.

It's about time.

3. Some statistics about my district.

2016: Only 30% voted for Hillary.....65% for Trump

2012: Only 35% voted for Barack..63.4% for Romney

Sad, sad, sad.
