I was thinking about the paucity of campaign signs, bumper stickers, etc. . . . .

People, I think, are afraid to be public about who they're voting for. Maybe not afraid so much as just not in the mood for the hassles that might come their way as a result. Out here (suburban/rural) there's one asshole who always puts up a billboard size right wing sign that is visible from I-70. Last cycle it was Hillary for Prison. This year, nothing. no sign.

It's plastered with Black Lives Matter and Biden/Harris lawn signs. There are a lot of signs like yours, too.
