I went out to my folks' house yesterday and I was shocked. They are in sort of a rural area and I saw exactly two Trump signs and probably twenty for Harris plus a few for prominent State democrats where they weren't displaying presidential signs.
By contrast my neighborhood is probably closer to 50/50 and we're more suburban what with having sidewalks and all.
While a lack of signs signals people losing interest in Trump, which is great, I expect the vast majority of R party line voters will still vote for him anyway because of their fear that Harris will take away their guns or force them to get abortions or out of fear of immigrants because the rest of the R party promotes the same lies and fear mongering.
They just won't be as excited about it anymore.
I like how Trump is the only president in history to suggest banning guns.
That’s just following in Reagan’s footsteps, to be fair.
I find this funny because I’m pretty sure both she and Walz are gun owners
They are. Walz hunts. Harris said she has a gun and would should burglars.
Any burglars in her vicinity would be taken out by the Secret Service. But if her husband was home alone, he might have to defend himself. See: Mr. Pelosi
In the case of the secret service I would say „should“, not „would“, after the recent incidents.
I also wonder what would have happened if Pelosi had returned while the assassin was still there. Would the secret service, without cause, have checked for someone hiding in the closet?
Of the Republicans I know, I don't think any of them are afraid of Kamala. I think they are just Republicans and the idea of actually choosing is a foreign concept.
I don't get that. I'm an independent. Have been since I could vote. In theory I would vote Republican, but in fact there hasn't been one I'd vote for since McCain lost the 2000 primary (and that includes when he won it in 2008—I don't know what they did to him, but he was a different man by then.)
But there are a lot of people who either vote their party or just stay home. This year there are barely any ads for Republican state candidates or Trump (could be I'm in a filter bubble, though). The state GOP is a smoking ruin.
There is nothing here pushing us red. This is so different from 2016 and especially 2020. I'm not a pollster. I'm not a political expert. But I just can't see any path to a Republican victory here in Michigan as we went blue in 2020 and he had so much more visible support compared to today.
But we'll see come Election Day.
Or force them to get a gay marriage.
Fancy city slickers with your liberal sidewalks
Unfortunately. I had the exact opposite experience. Trump/Vance signs friggin everywhere and even a damn trump megastore where they sell all things trump lol. Saw a dude walking down the street today before I flew out wearing a shirt that said "this is my pride flag" and it was just a picture of Trump's face. YMMV I guess haha
Okay. Out of curiosity, is it more or less Trumpy than 2020?
Definitely more although not by a ton I'd say. but the Trump superstore wasn't there in 2020 so I think that absolutely plays a part in the increase of pro trump stuff around town lol.
His pride flag is slobbing the knob of another dude?
