This is how paranoid I am:

I live in the reddest county in Alabama.
I don't have a Hillary sign in my front yard or a bumper sticker because I'm not that brave and I don't want my car damaged.

A couple we know is holding an open house for Democrats to watch the returns tomorrow night.
They sent out an email with address, etc. and said "It's easy to find. It's the only one in the neighborhood with a Hillary sign in the front yard."

It may be the only house in the county with one.
I have certainly seen no other.

So...on election night there will be a dozen or more cars in their driveway and parked on the street in front.
And a Hillary sign in the front yard.
Even an imbecile would deduce that there was a gathering of Democrats.
And our imbeciles usually come armed.

I'm staying home.
Yes, it's come to this.

After all, they have a Hillary sign out and are still alive and willing to host a party. I bet it will be a blast!

Party will be fun. In the unlikely event you see these cowardly bullies show up, call the cops.

I live in the reddest East Texas County you can imagine. These rednecks are dumb sure, and they have stolen two signs from my yard, but I am not afraid of them.
