Political road signs

[sellitman]

Admittedly I live in a very blue state. (Connecticut). Like many states there are areas that are generally considered Republican. Typically they are in the very well-to-do areas in this New York City bedroom community.

I drive to work through some of these well-to-do areas and work in Ridgefield Connecticut. I see signs for both parties for state representative and other political offices. On my whole ride to work I have yet to see a tRump road sign. They are not found. Even where are there are GOP signs for down party candidates. Mile after mile it's all Biden and Harris. I hope this is a sign of the times.

1. Me too.

Yesterday we went to my husband's aunt's funeral in a very small town near Findlay. The main street was lined with Trump signs. They were everywhere. Coming home we drove past his cousins house and Danny if he didn't have a Trump flag draped across the front of his porch. Shit!

2. Spending anything on the presidential campaign in CT would seem to be a waste of money.

If Connecticut were anywhere near close, Trump would be winning a landslide across the country.

3. I had mentioned on another thread over the weekend we were in AR

A deep red state but no 45 signs. I recall this time in 2016 they were all over the place.

[PinkTiger]

11. I wish I could say the same.

We live near Branson Mo., close to the Arkansas line.
On the way to Branson from our house there are many Trump signs.
We were in Springfield yesterday and a popup store was offering unofficial Trump shirts, hats etc.

[flibbitygiblets]

12. Same here in rural part of OR

Rump signs aplenty in 2016, zilch now. Are they all lost in the mail?

[3Hotdogs]

4. N.J. --- lots of Dotard signs. A few Biden signs ---

Lots of B.L.M. signs all over the place.


I think its more that people here don't care about signs. No one is gonna vote for someone because they saw a sign on my lawn.

[Delarage]

5. I'd have signs if I could freaking get them

I ordered from Team Joe online on Aug. 12 and still haven't gotten them. I emailed the Delaware Democratic Party and no one has responded yet. I'm going to go over there next week. I want my Biden-Harris signs & stickers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MyOwnPeace]

6. Probably delayed in the mail!

[helpisontheway]

8. I ordered my sign the same day. I tracked it and it was scanned

as leaving the distribution center an hour from my house last night. So I should get it today or Tuesday. USPS just delivered my Amazon mail. Hope my Biden sign is with the regular mail.

I have not noticed any signs in my area except for Congresswoman Elaine Luria.

[paleotn]

22. Takes awhile....

Took about 3, almost 4 weeks to get mine. I think demand is outstripping supply.

[Delarage]

38. That's what I was hoping!

And I live in Delaware, so if they needed to fill orders in Florida, PA, WI, MN, etc. I'm OK with that.

SIDE NOTE: On the way to the beach I saw big hand-made sign for Trump that said "Mr.Trump" in huge letters with "Thank You" under it. I immediately thought it would be a shame if someone were to write "Fuck" over the "Thank"

7. Trump signs all over the place

In rural Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

And that's what Caligula's campaign is banking on.

[usaf-vet]

13. Careful, I live in rural Wisconsin and THAT is not the case here. Only down ticket R signs.

[jayschool2013]

32. That's good to hear.

SW Wisconsin can be a mixed bag, and that's where I've been recently. I live in eastern Iowa, and the countryside is awash in Trump flags, though both NE and SE Iowa are represented by Democrats in the House.

[Bettie]

17. So far, not as many as there were last time around

but still down-ticket signs.

[jayschool2013]

33. That sounds like a good omen

at least in the big ticket race. We need to re-elect Abby Finkenauer and Cindy Axne to the U.S. House in Iowa (IA-2 is a Dem lock), and replace Ernst with Greenfield in the U.S. Senate. Fingers crossed.

[roamer65]

19. Only rural whites.

Very few if any Dump signs in my suburban area of Detroit.

One person has this large a Dump sign a few miles from me and it’s already been defaced.

[Roy Rolling]

9. Help them Out

I ordered a Trump yard sign yesterday, responding to a spam email sent to me by Republicans.

I intend to make them waste time, money, and effort. When it’s delivered, I’ll throw it away and request another one be delivered and lament how it was stolen.

Rinse and repeat. LOL

[kairos12]

20. Outstanding!

[DenverJared]

29. Why trash it?

Put a red X on it with some tape and proudly display it!!!

[PutGramaOnThePhone]

37. There ya go!

And maybe burn it a bit to show some well deserved lack of respect. I bet some creative types could make trump signs into some really cool anti trump art installations. I’ve never thought about that before this election. In my sort of small town neighborhood, one would most likely be labeled a weirdo, but we’re already there with our yard - no grass, all flowers and native plants, and rocks (some big ones that I scavenged from nearby street rebuilding with a Bobcat).

[DenverJared]

39. Trump signs are useful

34. Nice

Of course, you'll become a Kimberly Guilfoyle anecdote.

"Let me tell you the story of Roy, a poor soul in the hinterlands who has had to replace their Caligula-Nero ... I mean, Trump-Pence sign 50 times just in the last two weeks. The Democrat anger at our pee-resident is just off the charts. AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

[Illumination]

10. There's no Trump signs because people are embarrassed & know he should resign!

[Sancho]

14. In our neighborhood in Clearwater it's 50/50...

usually this is a red area, and we have been walking a lot. There is literally a dead-even tie for Biden signs and MF45 signs now.

Polls and registrations show a slight edge for Biden/Harris, but they cheat so much in Florida it will have to be a bigger margin for a Democratic win.

[George II]

15. I've noticed that on the road between Middletown and Cromwell DOZENS of Black Live Matter signs....

....are on people's lawns.

But around here all we see so far have been local republican signs - we have an unwritten agreement to not put up signs until Labor Day. Democrats have observed that, republicans haven't. That will change in a couple of days. I have my two signs in the garage ready to be planted on Monday.

[Desert_Leslie]

16. People are Afraid

I think people are afraid to put out Biden signs. The Trumpers are SO over the top, it worries you what they'd do to you.

I had my magnetic Biden sign on my new car, and I took it off. Sad to say, I don't want my new car keyed.

It drives me nuts. I had to drive behind "Lock Her Up" bumper stickers for years and only gritted my teeth. Did I do things to their cars? No. But the same can't be said for the rabid Trumpers out there.

[PutGramaOnThePhone]

23. I hear ya

I have a Biden sign in my yard, and a big Black Lives Matter flag by my front door, but I’m afraid to put anything on my car. However, though I’m not out much, my small town appears pretty civilized so far during this trump v.s. no trump civil war - Minnesota Nice (or Minnesota Passive Aggressive).

[marlakay]

30. I live in a conservative city in a blue state

Mostly Trump signs a few Biden. About a mile from where I live on my neighborhood dog walk there is a house with rainbow flag owned by 2 women, I have seen them as I pass by told them I liked their new landscaping. When we could first put out signs, (in Oregon you can only put up signs 3 months before election) the women put out two Trump signs with tiny American flags attached with the signs crossed out. First I noticed one sign gone, then on my last walk few days ago I noticed they had no signs.

I think the conservatives in my state are angry because they have to put up with rules they don't like. Too bad, they can move.

[Dagstead Bumwood]

36. Mrs. Bumwood and I had a lengthy discussion about putting up a sign.

We didn't display a sign in '16 and I thought the "Person, Woman, Man, Vote, Biden" sign was hysterical and would look nice on the lawn. But, she was totally against it. Her argument was that several of our neighbors are closeted MF45 supporters (the odds of that being true are good in our neck of the woods) and we would face some wrath for displaying such a sign, ranging from the sign being destroyed/stolen, to trash being dumped in our yard, to our house being vandalized. Hard to argue with her on that count, I'd anticipate the same.

18. New England states will be solid blue after November.

Once Susan Collins is gone it’s all Democratic at the federal level I hear.

[Johnny2X2X]

21. Been in my house for 3 years

So I didn’t see signs 4 years ago. Biden must have delivered signs yesterday as the next 4 houses all now have Biden signs to complement mine. 5 of us in a row on a cul de sac. And I know the guy across the street from me is a Dem, so it will be most of our block if he gets his sign out.

0 Trump signs in my subdivision. None!

I live in an upper middle class neighborhood in very Conservative West Michigan.

[PutGramaOnThePhone]

24. Nice!

At risk of stereotyping, no trump signs seems a bit “out of character” for what I’m picturing as your neighborhood.

[Johnny2X2X]

25. I am surprised too

But my neighborhood is mostly college grads. There’s more of a blue collar neighborhood adjacent to it that has some Trump signs, but even those are outnumbered.

[PutGramaOnThePhone]

31. Gotcha

I guess the polls are saying that some college grads that voted for trump in 2016 are turning against him. In my my first job out of college - a time when I did bring up politics a bit - my small team in the IT department was three for Reagan, against me, for Mondale. We were in Iowa, but 3 of us were from Minnesota. I was just completely - I suppose naively - dismayed. I don’t have a good recollection, but I suppose it was “the Economy”, taxes, two of them being self-proclaimed Christians, and one being from a family that owned an insurance agency in a small town, that explained it. I’m just a natural born democrat.

26. In my wanderings in Vermont....

There are a very small number of Donnie signs, flags, etc. Most I see are in front of run down houses and mobile homes. Go figure. Across the lake in upstate NY is a whole different story. Lots of them over there + Donnie cock holster, Elise Stefanick signs. I hate that woman. I truly do. If there is a just god, Tedra Cobb will crush her, but I kind of doubt it. Thus, the stark red / blue line will probably continue to run down the middle of Lake Champlain.

[djacq]

27. 50/50 in Warrenton, VA, 48mi west of D.C. (borderline rural)

Ordered my Biden Harris yard sign back in August during the DNC Convention... Still waiting.

[mainer]

28. Alas in Northern Maine, 99% Trump signs

And that's the poorest part of the state. You go south to much wealthier Portland, and they're all for Biden.

[mucifer]

35. It's not ideal but you can print your own signs from Biden's website:

40. Come a few hours north to Springfield, Massachusetts.

Not so much Springfield, but the surrounding 'burbs are lousy with 'em. Haven't been out since the veterans remarks, maybe it's changed.
