I understand that this is anecdotal, but

in my small town there were Trump signs everywhere before the 2020 election. Now I have not seen a single one but have seen several Harris signs. This is giving me hope for my little community. I do live in a very blue State but my area at best is purple.

as red as a baboon’s ass and unfortunately I’ve seen several Trump signs & flags. Hopefully Harris will win North Carolina, but she doesn’t stand a chance in my county.

The Republican Party here is a mix of rich retirees who have moved here from up north, commercial fishermen, underpaid folks who vote against their interests, and uber religious people. Of course we do have a lot of awesome progressives here, but we’re out numbered probably 2-1.

I live in a purple part of a red state but any time I go into rural areas those fucking signs are everywhere. The hayseeds around here love that orange felon.

There are 2 or 3 Farmers for Trump signs west of here on US 40 spread out over 50 miles. I think those have been up for a while.

A sharp contrast to 2016 and 2020 when houses and cars were covered with them.

Also anecdotal: the usually loudmouth MAGAs I run into now want to talk about the weather, the ball game, anything but politics.
