Related: About this forumI noticed a missing Trump Pence sign on the way to work.
Maybe some are deserting already?

(144 posts)It is possible the relative majority of Trump signs create a sense of urgence in the democratic electorate and avoids complacency. But I am not a psychologist so I could be way off.

(11,904 posts)They can't really be that stupid that they don't remember who broke the economy in the first place. I immediately form an opinion and lower my expectations of anyone with a TRUMP sign in their yard.

(11,495 posts)I live in a red part of Washington state. Usually there are signs up all over for whoever if running for president, and the state and local races. I drive to another town almost every week and the only sign I saw was there along the main highway. The next week I went by it was gone and has not been put back up. The local paper had a poll back during the primaries and Bernie won it, which suppressed me, Hillary was next, which also suppressed me, then Trump. I will admit that there wasn't that much of a spread between Hillary and Trump, but for this neck of the woods, it was very unusual to say the least.

(15,147 posts)...shortly after Pussygate broke. The sign had been across the street from a small fundamentalist church, but I don't know if it was the church's sign or not.
Unfortunately, many more Trump signs, large and small, have gone up in other locations since then. Most disturbing to me are a few very large TRUMP 2016 signs with huge bald eagle heads staring straight out at you (rather than in profile), which have a very Nazi propaganda feel to me.
Several such signs are embellished with added strips of signage, bearing slogans like "DRAIN THE SWAMP".
I can almost understand the low-information voters and the people who've bought into all of the Clinton bashing reluctantly supporting Trump as, in their minds, the lesser of two evils.
People who ardently and enthusiastically support Trump, however, are frightening individuals to me. That there could be so many of them out and about in the world is scary and baffling.
