The only house with a trump* sign in the yard now also has a Biden/Harris and Dan Kildee sign. And a few others that I can't quite read from my yard, so I'm talking a stroll, rain permitting, so I can read them.

The owner of the house was always a really sweet, rational man, and a Democrat. During my last few conversations with him, I realized that something was definitely wrong. His son later let me know that his father has Alzheimer's. I'm wondering if the son is trying to placate his father's new brain path, while also mitigating things, since every other sign in the neighborhood are for Democrats. And they are increasing in number, every day.
