Joyce Vance on Trump supporters now taking their Trump signs down

And yes, I know it should be "bear fruit" and not "bare fruit" - and I'm sure she knows that, too. But typos happen, especially online.

@JoyceWhiteVance

Seeing more of this. Don't give up on having conversations with people about what's going on. The seeds you plant will bare fruit, especially as Trump continues to spiral downward into incoherence and hate.

@Logically_JC

My neighbor took down his Trump sign this morning.

[Lonestarblue]

1. I hope people really are seeing that Trump is delusional too much of the time.

A few years ago his rants were all lies, but he communicated them fairly well. Now he rambles off into la la land where no one really knows what his meaning is.

[leftyladyfrommo]

4. Even the deplorables aren't going to want a

complete senile lunatic for a president.
I hope.

[Think. Again.]

6. Unfortunately, a lot of them do.

[tanyev]

14. "He says what I'm thinking!"

Absolute certainty that anyone who would say that would also be a terrible president.

[Pinback]

61. And what I'm thinking is, "child care is child care."

“It’s a very important issue. But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I’m talking about, that — because, child care is child care. It’s, couldn’t, you know, it’s something, you have to have it — in this country, you have to have it.“

He tells it like it is!!1!

[SomedayKindaLove]

64. So weird

It’s like he thinks there is a debate about whether the country should or shouldn’t have child care!

[tanyev]

65. Maybe he and JD should debate each other on that topic.

[musclecar6]

2. I agree

People are getting more sick of him. We gotta keep the pressure on and keep the faith.

[lindysalsagal]

3. I've seen T&%$ signs coming down near me as well.

They don't need to vote for Harris; They just need to stay home.

[CrispyQ]

8. There were reports after 2020 that as election workers fed the ballots into the tabulators

they could see that a ton of people voted for the republican senator & rep but left the presidency blank. I think there's going to be a lot more. I hope he gets fewer votes than he got in 2016.

[lindysalsagal]

11. Bucks county in PA went for Biden in 2020, but mostly red candidates down ballot.

People are absolutely disgusted with TSCF, but still believe the GQP will keep their taxes lower.

[Eyeball_Kid]

45. It's no longer the GOP. It's the Trump Party...

... and anyone who is in the "R" category is a Trump stooge and they all have to go. If they cross Trump, they're shunned and sent away. By definition, they all have to bow before Trump. So they all have to go.

[erronis]

49. No, as far as I am concerned, the GOP created trump, owns trump, and will go down with trump.

Don't let anybody tell us in a year or two: "Well, I'm a Republican of the old school and I voted for tfg in 2016, but I won't vote for him again. Trust me."

[2naSalit]

15. I'm hoping...

He gets less than 10% of the total vote.

[soldierant]

59. I hope that is so

because some will. But I'd rather have the votes.

[Sogo]

5. But does anyone really know WHY those signs are coming down?

Don't assume anything.....GOTV!!

[Trueblue Texan]

27. Well, OF COURSE we should continue to do everything we can to elect Kamala and Dems down the ballot...

...but that doesn't mean we can't wonder about what is going on with the Trump signs coming down. I noticed a big Trump sign that was up the road has come down. It certainly makes you wonder.

[Sogo]

57. Questioning whether anyone really knows why the signs are coming down is, indeed, acknowledging

that one wonders.

My comment was in reaction to those comments that seemed to ASSUME it was because the person was no longer a Trump supporter. I'm just saying to them don't make that assumption and that our mission remains the same.

[kentuck]

7. My question would be?

Are they taking the signs down because disagree with the felon or because they think he is losing?

[moonscape]

9. I suspect a not-insignificant number of

them realize he’s whacked and are embarrassed to be linked but will secretly vote for him anyway,

[crazylikafox]

28. Agree

[Cosmocat]

30. Good bet

Cause the evil liberal boogyman programing runs DEEP in these people.

He could be a completely immoral and deranged lunatic and they won't be able to bring themselves to do anything that might allow the democratic spawn of the devil win.

[Ilsa]

46. "embarrassed ... but will secretly vote for him anyway"

That's my fear. Embarrassment doesn't register at the polls.

[Kali]

63. yep

[B.See]

54. THIS. There may be some who are

starting to see who and what he is:

A SELF serving GRIFTER, a liar, a fraud, a divisive dictator wannabe and Putin asset, who has NO respect for our servicemembers.

An existential threat to DEMOCRACY.

but I'd wager a majority of them, who became increasingly EMBOLDENED in openly displaying their hate and malice

have, since the DNC Convention, come to the realization that a SIGNIFICANT number of Americans are opposed to their fascist agenda.

Bigotry and hate will always be around. But the rest of us shouldn't have to abide by it.

[slightlv]

62. I think not only are people tired of the divisiveness,

but the best thing *rump and the R party could have done for us was publish and boast about Project 2025. Once they did that, it cleared the way for the Democrats and Independents (and unhappy R's) to really push out into the public exactly what it says and means.

Say what you want about Americans, and we DO have a hell of a lot of faults compared to other societies, but we love our freedom, and completely resist anyone trying to take it away from us. Witness the uprising of women since Dobbs! Yet still, they discount us as "not important enough" to be worried about. Yeah... right. Keep on thinking that, Mr. Republican.

[MyOwnPeace]

68. Or.......

Ashamed to admit in public that they are idiots supporting another idiot????

[Freethinker65]

10. I cannot imagine publicly displaying support for Trump/Vance

I could understand if you are truly conservative putting up a generic "vote Republican" sign or showing support for some down ticket candidates. But anyone putting up a Trump/Vance sign deserves ridicule and shame.

[OMGWTF]

12. Good post, but she should know that it's "bear" fruit.

[highplainsdem]

13. Typos happen, as I mentioned in the OP when I posted it.

[moonscape]

38. Autocorrect and/or using mic not keyboard

[ScratchCat]

16. Believe it or not, but

The Arlington fiasco was the final straw with many. They finally understood he cares of nothing but himself.

[hvn_nbr_2]

17. Jack Smith will "bare" some pretty rotten fruit before election day. nt

[NNadir]

19. One wonders if the media will do a Comey type...

..."but her emails" campaign. I very much doubt it.

[ShazzieB]

48. I don't know what they could use for such a campaaign.

The "controversy" about the emails had been harped on in the media and by Trump for a long time before Comey pulled his coup de grâce. A certain segment of the voters were already convinced by months of prior conditioning that "her emails" were a serious issue. His actions simply reinforced those beliefs. I doubt he convinced anyone who wasn't pretty much convinced already.

With Harris-Walz, it's hard to imagine some brand new issue (because that's what it would have to be) suddenly popping up at this late date and having that kind of an impact. I'm worried about a lot of things concerning this election, but that one is very low on the list.

[NNadir]

50. I'm not speaking of a Comey type hit on Harris. I was referring to the media giving a shit about a real criminal.

They haven't.

They have not made all that big a deal over the fact that the thug they support and legitimize is in fact a convicted criminal, certainly not at the level they were harping on Secretary Clinton's server.

[ShazzieB]

52. Oh, I see!

[groundloop]

18. I haven't seen a single tRump sign or flag come down, and the assholes are just as rabid on the local facebook.....

But I have the pleasure of living in beet red Alabama too, so it's not like any of it matters. (At least I live on a lake, that's what keeps me sane).

[birdographer]

32. Same here in WNC Trumpistan

No change in banners, signs, bumper stickers, t-shirts, and the irritating need to make conversation blaming Biden for everything. Nothing has changed at all.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

37. Ah feel y'all's pain, as a famous resident once said

[surfered]

20. SpellCheck is good and bad.

[NNadir]

23. God or bed. Nt

[surfered]

31. 😁

[lastlib]

36. "The finder of Autocollect dyed yesterday.....

The funnel is tomato,"

[NNadir]

21. I've noticed that some of the morons around here who were festooned...

...with MAGA cult signs here haven't put them up this year.

[Oopsie Daisy]

22. 🧸🐻🐻‍❄️🍇🍎🍐🍓

[Hermit-The-Prog]

24. Isn't bare fruit illegal in red states now?

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

34. Only on Cornhub

[Prairie_Seagull]

25. If it weren't for typos

I wouldn't have any 'Os' at all.

I crack me up.

[highplainsdem]

26. LOL!

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

35. Don't be all Negative about those Type Os

[bromeando]

29. Trump supporter

My neighbor still has his trump flag up. I'll be watching to see when he wises up.

[calimary]

42. Welcome to DU, bromeando!

It's unofficial statistics we see being built here, but I bet if it keeps up, there'll be more formal polling verifying this.

[durablend]

33. Not around here

More lawn signs coming out and the other signs and flags getting bigger and more nauseating

[Farmer-Rick]

39. Speaking of pedo Trump signs

What's with the ugly black and white signs with a blurry picture of Trump? The only legible word as you drive-by is Trump. They are white with blurry lettering. I've seen them before. Is it what the GOP are giving away? They look cheap enough.

Why such cheap and crappy signs? No color, illegible, blurry and small with a lot of blank space. Can't Repukes afford anything better?

I can't find an image to post. Maybe my neighbor made it himself.

[ToxMarz]

40. I have seen some of this in deep Trump territory here

Fortunatley, I don't personally know any of these people, but unfortunatley I don't know the story behind it so am left imagining it is a good thing and they are seeing the light. A house near me flew a GIANT "F*#K BIDEN" flag off the corner of his house for 3 years. It would get tattered and he replaced it 3 times! Then about 1 year ago it was gone and nothing since. Would love to know what's going on in his head,

[usonian]

41. Wrestle with pigs and you get dirty.

But even the pigs don't want to be near him, nor even associated with him.

[WarGamer]

43. Bare Fruit?

I assume that's apples and pears without the skin?

Bananas without the peel?

What's next? Betting on loosers and dreaming of tommorrow?

Yeah yeah... I know.

We all sometimes mispell.

[Susan Calvin]

44. I wish my neighbors

Would take down their 3x5 Trump flag. They haven't yet.

[ificandream]

47. Someone in my neighborhood (in California) has had his Trump flag up and down over the past couple of months.

Currently it's down.

[Brainfodder]

51. Him admitting he lost in 2020 looks like the grease they needed!

[Lovie777]

53. Didn't I read that the New York Times is fabricating.....................

the coherent sentences shithole never did.

[highplainsdem]

55. Saw a tweet about that earlier. I'll post it if I can find it again.

[highplainsdem]

56. Here's one example, via tweet, and a link for Greg Sargent's TNR podcast about this:

58. Finally..

...they actually DO have a bottom. I was out when he started in with Birtherism. I wasn't aware of his activities in the 70s and 80s much, but thought he was creepy in the 90s. It is nice to see the fever breaking. If he wins, it will be by cheating. He has a 40% ceiling and we are seeing GOP defections to Harris (or 3rd Party). Still, let's work like we are 10 points behind.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

60. The underground cartoonist R. Crumb knew about him back in the 80s

He wrote a comic featuring him as a creepy pervert. Look at the bottom of the pic for his name

[PJMcK]

66. NE Pennsylvania

This area is predominantly red. There are plenty of Trump signs but only a few Harris banners. Most of the Trump supporters have gone crazy with signs, flags, posters, etc. The front lawn of one house next to our post office has 12 different things promoting Trump. They are crazy people!

Still, I think PA will go Democratic.

[blue sky at night]

67. We were tortured on Wednesday....

When we Rode with my rather hard core brother-in-law from Kent up to Grande River, OH. to have dinner...he drove straight up through Geauga County with the Dark Side signs everywhere...the last time I was up there was in 2020 and it unnerved me so badly that I swore I would never return. Next time we will meet them instead of riding along...God it was not fun. So I don't think there is any hope for rural Ohio of ever coming out of the haze...JD is the proof.

[mucholderthandirt]

69. There's a house a bit down the road from me, that used to be huge Bush supporters.

It's a pretty brick house, whitewashed, picket fence around the front yard. The owners kept it up, really pretty plantings, loads of flowers.

They had a huge Bush sign just outside the fence, by the road (busy, busy road). That was the first election. Second election, smaller sign, and it was behind the fence. The only way you could see it was if you looked down just at the right time as you drove by.

Since then, not a single election anything, the house is falling apart, the yard is full of weeds. Not sure that it says anything profound, but I have to wonder how sorely treated they felt by the Republicans.

Meanwhile, in other news, my neighbor's Trump sign in in the weeds, leaning over so much it's hard to read. They normally have their yard nice, everything mowed and weed-eated. But a couple of months ago the Trump sign moved from the side of the driveway where it was easily seen, weeds kept down. What is this saying about their support?

There were about five or six houses yesterday that I saw with newly-sprouted Trump signs. Not seeing a lot of Harris signs yet, but I suspect they're coming. I'm seriously thinking about that long banner sign someone posted in another thread. I'd hang it along the side of my run-down trailer, where it will shock all the people that think we're so poor we must be MAGA. Yeah. I'm kind of evil like that.
