Sign Observations: WV and more NOVA

Yesterday I had to travel to Martinsburg, WV. In town there were lots of local race signs but no trump signs. None! Even the yards with R signs for local politicians and sheriff had no trump signs. In 2016, the whole town was festooned with trump garbage. Yay!

I just ran a delivery to a town in NOVA I haven’t been to recently and was overwhelmed by the number of Biden/Harris signs! Not surprising, considering the area, but still heartening to see.

GO JOE & KAMALA!!

I wasn't into politics back then but I remember the cheer in the whole neighborhood. It wasn't till years later that I realize it was because of Obama's elected as the first black president.

Lots of yards have signs supporting republicans in local races without having a corresponding Trump sign.

Of course, I didn’t tour the whole town, but it was very surprising after what I saw there in 2016. Not one! No Biden signs, either, but I think the absence of trump signs speaks a lot louder to the mood of the neighborhoods I drove through.
