+1. Why would my Republican Dad put up a trump sign? He has voted for every Republican presidential candidate for my entire life but he detests Trump and would never vote for him. Trump is not a Republican. |
We’re in the suburbs. Our HOA rules prohibit campaign signs. I think it’s a good rule given how divided we are. |
I don't know your dad, obviously, but I would bet my bottom dollar that when he goes into that voting booth, he either votes for Trump or skips over the Presidential race altogether. That's not what you want to hear, so that's not what he's telling you, however! |
You would lose that bet. He's a high-ranking military officer. He doesn't suffer anti-American fools like Trump. |
LOL. I think I've heard everything now. |
I live in a deep blue pocket of the DMV. Our street has 12 houses with some residents having lived there for over 50 years. No one has yard signs or political paraphernalia though the neighbor across the street is a Vietnam vet who wears an NRA cap every day. I don’t know anyone’s political leanings and we are friendly with everyone. |
Same here. My conservative military former- republican family members are loyal to America, the constitution and democracy, not some burn-it-all-down carnival barker autocrat wannabe. |
We are in NOVA in a neighborhood of single family homes prices ranging from $800K to $1.2M. I would say Harris signs outnumber Trump signs about 6 to 1. We are an immigrant family that supports Harris, but do not have a sign in our yard. There is a house with a Trump sign and that pine tree flag that Alito’s wife hung from her house. We say to hi all neighbors. Some try to talk politics, but we do our best to keep it light.
We do socialize with families from our kid’s religious school. We assume they are republican, but try to avoid those conversations as much as possible. |
Yes, my neighborhood is mixed. Most people are UMC Harris supporters but there are two groups of Trump supporters: UMC religious people and some blue collar type white people. I’m in a deeply blue state though. |
This is what they tell you because they know you are unhinged lunatics. They are definitely voting for Trump. |
If they don’t have a Harris/Walz sign, but they do fly one of those American flags I just assume they’re voting for the fascists. |
Keep clinging to that pathetic belief. ![]() |
Yes, I'd say it is 50/50. Used to be more red but has changed over time. |
pretty mixed friend group. The only time we've talked politics was shaking our heads and saying this is the best we can do from both sides |
PP who mentioned the quiet Republican never-Trumpers. I'm just writing in the people I wish the Republican party (or it's overdue actually conservative replacement) would have nominated, as per usual in these circumstances. Perhaps un-coincidentally both my parents are retired military. |
