I Am in Trump Country

Tweet

Which is rather interesting when you think about it. Where I live, this is as blue a city as blue can go. I mean, it's nearly impossible for Republicans to win anything, and there's hardly a Democrat in any local political body here. Yet, along nearly my entire block Trump signs now adorn yards. And it's the same as I go down block after block. All throughout my city in just the past week or two Trump signs are everywhere. The fact that this is a rather recent thing I have seen around here seems to be even more telling. Perhaps it's the botched interview Harris did with Brian Taff on ABC? Or the absolutely incoherent Town Hall she did with Oprah Winfrey? Either way, at least here, locally, there seems to be a massive shift. It's not that I never saw Trump signs around here. I just never so many as I am seeing now. Even in 2016 and 2020. The signs are literally everywhere. In fact, the only place I am not seeing a Trump sign is outside the Pipefitters union building down the street. But of course not. But even that may change. I mean, the Teamsters decided to not endorse any candidate not because they don't support one—when it was learned that 60% of Teamsters members were going to vote for Trump, the union simply decided to sit out an endorsement of anyone. Reality is a hard thing for the media to hide when you see real people in the real world telling a much different story than the one being spoon fed to us. Even the guy across the street from me, who is a union city worker, has a Trump sign.
