Had a chance to drive through my old neighborhood, it's been 20

years since I lived there. Was so happy to see at least 5 Biden lawn signs and ZERO tRump signs. I do have two tRumps signs in my neighborhood where I live now. One we understand, die hard tRump fans.....the other one is sorta a mystery.......they are a young family with 4 kids who have been home schooled for forever, not just thru this pandemic. Husband works and is on our city council, mother is stay at home mom. Ya just never know.

1. dont know for sure but I would posit that the young family are probably deeply religious

maybe evangelical who tend to homeschool their kids a lot and have the wife stay at home. Not always true of course, but that would be my guess.

3. I don't know that our HOA allows any political signs cause I've never seen any in my neighborhood ..

I'm quite confident if they WERE allowed, I'd be inundated with Trump 2020 signs every time I come and go, which would annoy the crap outta me.

OTOH, thinking back on every place I ever lived BEFORE here I can't imagine Biden signs not being favored by at least 4 to 1 ... except maybe in Quincy, CA which is a bit of hick town.

4. Home schooler shouldn't be surprised

There are three main branches of home schoolers depending on where you live.

1. Most common everywhere -- The ultraconserative evangelical Christians who refuse to have their kids around the heathens. Ironic of course, because Jesus said that was who needed his love. This group is overwhelmingly Trump humpers.

2. Usually the second most common with some overlap with the first group -- White folks who do not want their kids to go to school with people of color. Overwhelmingly racists who are not surprisingly Trump humpers as well given their racist tendencies.

3. Antivaxers who refuse to get their kids vaccinated so they home school them. (Which should be required of every antivaxer). These range from both wacky ends of the spectrum.
