Pitts area yardsigns.... [View all]

My wife's family lives in the Pittsburgh area so we drive back there a couple of time a year pretty much since forever.

Ever since 2016, there have been reliable areas of tfg yard signs. Not just signs, but billboards in many cases, or barn sides, some anti biden or anti hillary in days gone by. And it was common to see the large dually pickups with oversized American and tfg campaign flags flying.

This trip we didn't see a single one. Just a couple of lame bumper stickers that looked old and faded.

Not saying he doesn't have support, just that shame may be creeping over people, or at least a lack of that bloodlust in your face support. Of course it's still early, and he has no primary oppo, but those were year round signs.

This is Maga country. He will still be tough to beat in the privacy of an election booth, but it's possible something is happening.

Or not. Probably not. But it was a more enjoyable drive nonetheless.
