As Simon Rosenberg so often points out, it was always going to be like this -- that when it came time for those who proclaim themselves trump voters to actually cast their ballot, some just wouldn't be able to stomach it.

Trump's hate fest just boosted a phenomenon that was already happening in these closing days.

He looks like a guy you'd expect to support Trump. It's weird though. He has never put up political signs before. I was a little surprised when he put them up. My husband and I were looking forward to seeing him take them down after the election, lol.

My neighbor down the street, with whom I do not associate, has recently taken down their obnoxious Dump 2024 flag. Although, there are newly placed Moreno signs out front. Wondering what that might mean.

But it’s possible they were stolen. I hope not. I hope he had a change of heart.

I don't think Harris/Walz supporters are as likely to steal Trump signs, as the other way around. IMO, he took them down, himself. No Harris/Walz would want to touch a Trump sign with a 10 foot pole.

I tend to believe that with each idiotic/hateful thing the Orange One says or does, more of these people who had signs up are taking them down because they are embarrassed and don't want people to know that they were that stupid.

It's 2024, by now they should know what's up with conman bigot.

Our side doesn't have thugs and are civilized unlike their knuckle dragging asses, so they don't have to worry about someone burning down their box houses.

They are just going back to being into the closet. But they will still vote for him. Millions will. That's the frightening thing. Frankly it is the most frightening thing to me.

After DonOLD is gone, his cult will live on. Some will be out in the open - unashamed of their racism and idiocy. Others in the shadows, continuing his hatred of anyone who doesn't fit their idea of a true American.

are only doing it because they don’t want their property to be marked when the Ds win and come for their guns. I bet.

Or they were stolen which is just funny and silly.

I say cowards because they are always armed but the most fearful people.

Remember, punk is an equal opportunity occupation, there are most likely a few on our side, also.

I'm hoping he finally got embarrassed enough to take them down. I hope he didn't take them down just because he voted for the bastard yesterday and dndint think there was any more point to it.
