21. I live in deeply red lower Alabama

It still would not be safe for me to put up Harris-Walz yard signs. This state is the Trump cult epicenter. The best thing though is there is zero Trump yard signs or flags in my community now. They were all over before, so that is somewhat encouraging even though Trump will easily win Alabama. I am contributing as much as I can to Harris-Walz which is more productive for them than putting up yard signs in this state.
