Oh I'll have to do the same tally score around here in deep blue MA. We live next to Hanson, MA where a genius has illuminated TRUMP 2024 on a water tower. So many panties in a bunch over that one!

Camping in southern Wisconsin. Carpeted with Trump signs everywhere . Some of the largest signs I’ve ever seen, also. A lit up one on top of a silo. Loving it. I might even see a Holstein with a sandwich sign over her back. Yeah, that’s a cheesy remark. But…….

Signed: former lefty who looked into Biden’s glowing red eyes while wishing me death and uttered NOPE.

I’m in the blue country of the Chicago burbs. There isn’t a single sign for anything or anyone in any yard … except mine. Yesterday I added to my three Trump yard signs a fourth, 4’ x 4’ sign attached to a tree trunk that looks straight up our street and can be seen from the minute you turn onto our street. It’s glorious. 😄

As I found out here during my child-rearing years nobody ever speaks up if there is a risk it could make them an “outsider”. Social status quo was a strong force. I regularly was the only one to ever speak out what no one else did, not for shock value but for a “no-nonsense,” “let’s be honest here” value. I was never intimidated to not speak up because it never occurred to me to be afraid of being hated. But oh how I was. People quickly made it hard for my children to play with theirs. That was the first time I ever felt hesitant to continue to speak my truth because it was hurting my kids, and then I realized that’s how they controlled everyone and the preferred narratives of the masses. My kids did get hurt. So did I. But here I am today with the largest friggin sign within a mile of my house. And I’m certain others are both scared to follow suit but also wishing they too had that freedom to do so. I love my freedom more than being popular. Nothing has changed in 18 years around here. 🤣

Yes. One house in our two contiguous neighborhoods (so, maybe 50 houses?) has several Harris-Walz signs. One (a Korean pastor) has 5 Trump signs. I have two large Trump flags (each with a different message) and 3 lawn signs--each with a different message. Those are the only public expressions of intent. Our cars bear "Trump team" stickers. We both wear our Trump hats (mine has orange "hair"!) when going out. I will not be "cowarded" by the left. Kind of a political variant of, "If you deny me before men, I will deny you before my Father")
