Let us all know.
It seems that in red east Tx the trump crap is quietly dissappearing.

(12,904 posts)Yesterday at the dump
yes, we are our own garbage men
I was behind a pickup that was laden with garbage bags in the bed. He was alone so I decided to help him pitch the bags into the compressor bin.
Small talking, he mentioned that he bought along a few neighbors garbage too. Lots of Trump/Vance signs, a few old tattered trump flags. He said Good Riddance along with some unprintable expressions of disgust as he threw each one into the bin.
I kept my head down slinging bags into the bin. Truck was empty we shook hands as he thanked me, then helped with my load of three bags.
Yeah, hes not all that popular anymore.
But a word of caution
this happened before around here
and he got elected again.

(3,413 posts)The permission structure still there that they can spew freely...but smart ones are editing and withholding I've noticed. Not as cocky as before. The MAGA enthusiasm IS wanning. But they'll all come home to vote R---if they bother to show up to vote.

I am pretty sure his neighbors cannot wait until he expires.

Obviously he wants the world to know that he loves trump so help the guy out.
They'll be missing by next week I bet.

(8,693 posts)Plus, EVERYBODY on this end of town (several thousand people) has to drive by his back and side yard, so they ALL see it.
He will die before taking that mess down.

(8,882 posts)just leave it alone and watch.

(8,693 posts)Lots of drive by birds from lots of people. This is, after all, one of the premier bird watching locations in the US.

(17,982 posts)I see fewer and fewer Trump garb being worn and when I wear my Veterans Against Trump shirt, I'm getting quite alot of smiles, nods and outright praise for wearing it.

(1,361 posts)Unfortunately it doesnt mean that they will vote for a Democrat. They probably still support Drumpf and Rs in general but are now more ashamed to admit it? We can hope that at best, they might stay home and not vote at all, which is still helpful.

There are far fewer flags around here.

They are doing well socially, though.
I hope things change there politically.

(29,620 posts)I will definitely notice when they finally admit their gilded leader is toast.
intheflow
(30,145 posts)but of the 5-6 I remember, only one is still flying. And actually, it's not a Trump flag but a Charlie Kirk flag. mourning the passing of a "hero." That replaced his Trump flag so I'm counting it as a Trump flag,
