In reply to the discussion: My trip to The Villages on Sunday. Went to [View all]shrike3
(4,098 posts)18. Deep-red in the Midwest, here.
I've noticed for a while, no signs, one Trump flag, south of me. That's all.
A local bar owner hosted the Trump campaign headquarters in our area. She put up a huge sign announcing that fact on her bar. Repug town council okayed it, of course. Every time I went downtown, I had to see that thing.
At one point she took a black baby doll and put it in a cage. It was supposed to be Obama. She sold the place, and there's a big sign outside: New owner, new ambience. I think everyone knows what that means. I do.

Far less of it here in SW Montana too. But the ones who still do are really over the top, Kari Lake types.

Given The Villages hosted a rather infamous Trump parade I doubt it'd be against any rules.

I'm in a deep red part also and it's nice to NOT see Trump flags ruining the atmosphere!
