...and I have a few neighbors who are MAGAts, and terribly uneducated. The one that 'may' be saved had 2 trump signs in his yard and is the same one who tried to give me a Bible with underlined passages about homosexuality a couple years ago during Pride Week, (We're straight, married forever) because I had a flag out in support for others. I know, crazy thought right?
Anyway, he comes over, tells me that he does not care for such a big flag he would have to stare at until November and I told him I would gladly remove it when he tells me why he loves the racist / homophobic / grifting / traitorous / rapist who cannot even put a sentence together much less not shit his pants and lies constantly.
He stared at me and said that Kamala wasn't a natural born citizen. I said I would take that bet for $10,000 cause I could use the money. He gave me 'the old man wave' as he turned around and went to leave. I stopped him and explained that since he weas such a GOOD Christian that he would have to answer for following an false idol. He kept walking, but by golly, the signs are BOTH GONE!
Not sure if that means anything and here in Illinois we're safe voting wise, but maybe...just maybe I cracked the shell on a dyed in the wool tRumper. Fingers crossed.

(3,687 posts)Not 10'x2'. Or 10"x2". Perhaps OP is not a wood butcher (carpenter).

(13,605 posts)More a banner than a sign. Saw similar pro-Trump banners in my hometown last weekend, installed at ground level, including one where the homeowner had two such banners arranged as a V with each banner at a 45-degree angle to the street.

(3,687 posts)you had the conversation i fantasize about having with my lifelong friend, who persists in shitting on my fb posts and tells me that all the news i get is "fake." Something that came from the WP.
i just delete them and sigh. She still called me on my birthday and we had a stilted fair weather clear roads conversation while the elephant in the room farted away.

(9,502 posts)3 Trump signs, one Harris sign (me). Been up 5 days, no one has tampered with it. The nice couple next door said theyre going to put up a Harris sign as soon as they get it.

(12,278 posts)But one of the ways people break loose from cults is when the contradiction just takes too much brainpower to contain.
And those aren't terribly powerful brains, given their descent into cult thinking.
What has been blindingly obvious to us is just starting to penetrate the great wall of ignorance.
Best case: we are seeing a tipping point.
Tolerance for a doddering, incoherent, constantly lying and contradictory old uncle can last only so long.
Laura figured it out long ago.

(284 posts)However, the eastern part of Multnomah County is more conservative. There are several Trump signs including one who decided to use an old Trump/Pence sign with "Pence" covered and Vance, J.D. written in. "Vance" blew off the other day, so now they have used white paint over "Pence". It looks classy. There are other Democrats in our neighborhood, but they feel uncomfortable putting up signs. We were the only ones that had a Biden/Harris sign four years ago.
I bought my husband a "Harris/Walz camo hat. He wore it to the local grocery store and happened to pass by a man wearing a Trump hat and a t-shirt with "I'm voting for the convicted felon." They both stared each other down, but no words were said. We were in Eastern Washington last week (Spokane area), and I saw my first "Republicans for Harris" sign. We also spent a day on Lake Coeur d'Alene, ID and a mini-Trump parade drove by the beach on the adjacent road. My husband was pleased to have other men, besides himself, approach the parade and tell them off in assorted ways. I want to believe that there are many Republicans who have had enough of Trump.

(7,823 posts)There's a lot more of them than I ever imagined. Where were these people hiding that I didn't notice them?
I know some of them seem perfectly normal until you get into politics with them, like my step daughter. I ask myself where we went wrong raising her that she embraces such lunacy.
