Such a turnoff

So I went for a long 10 mile walk this morning. When I walked through one neighborhood I noticed two things, a whole bunch of Trump signs/flags and also a lot of for sale signs....I thought to myself that if I was in the market to buy a house how much a turn off it would be to enter a neighborhood and to know that most of my neighbors would be trumpers....I wonder if those signs have a impact on house sales in that neighborhood

I'm sure it impacts liberal buyers, but trumpsters will probably pay extra to live among the cult. Hoyt Nov 2020 #3

I really wish all of them and the tRump-loving businesses would have left their stupid signs up. I'd like to know where to avoid, I'll never be able to remember them all in years to come.

People actually built houses on it. Gawd I would never buy one of them.

3 Trump signs in the yard. I'm guessing they figured it would draw more interest?
Why would you want to take the chance of turning away interested buyers?
I also wondered the same about stores and businesses that were displaying such signs (really - for EITHER candidate!). Don't you think that you're going to turn away, or at least "bother" about 1/2 of your customers?

Finally, had a neighbor who was running for school board and stopped by to ask me to sign his petition for being on the ballot.
We'd been "casual" neighbors, waving, chat now and then - so I'm sure he thought I'd have no problem signing up for him.
However, he'd already had his tRump signs out in the yard when he approached and asked me for my support.

I told him that I thought a position on a school board was a serious and critical job and that it was important for board members to make crucial, well educated decisions about the school district. I then told him that since he saw BunkerBoy as a worthy candidate for the leadership of our country I was not too confident in his ability to make good decisions regarding our own school district and could not support his desire to serve on the school board.

You shoulda' seen his face!

(Oh, yeah, he won - I'm shit-deep in TRUMPERLAND!)
