A week ago I drove around my Broward County neighborhood to see how many Biden campaign signs I would see. To my surprise I saw only ONE, count 'em ONE, Biden sign. Even more surprising is that I actually saw a Trump sign in this heavily Democrat area. Today I drove through the neighborhood again and, as you can see, still just ONE Biden sign visible although there were plenty of signs for local candidates.
These two clips are presented unedited so you can see that the validity of my observations. My main takeaway is an utter LACK of enthusiasm for Biden here which is in stark contrast to many areas of the country, such as western Pennsylvania, which is awash in a sea of Trump signs.
Our Tampa subdivision has 210 homes. I walk it every day. Net result: Biden Signs 2, Trump Signs 0. The 2 homes with the signs are side by side. I think everyone who’s pro-Trump is afraid of being targeted for property damage or worse by the unhinged left if they dare to telegraph it in any way. How did we sink so low. Venezuela has more free speech than we do.
47% of the country would vote for the D if the candidate was a bowl of soup. D's don't care about the candidate; they only care about the message.
Yep. No one wants a crazed leftist setting fire to their house at 2 am because the homeowner has a Trump sign in the yard.
I think that's exactly it. Maybe not so much in reddish or red states ... but I think definitely near cities or in purple/blue areas.
I live near downtown Atlanta. There are Biden signs but not like 2016 & 2018 when my neighborhood was plastered with Hillary and Stacey Abrams for Governor signs. Some of my neighbors still have two-year old Abrams signs in their yards.
What about bumper stickers? Last week I saw my 4th Biden bumper sticker in the most liberal area of GA.
No sign and an American flag is a very high probability of Trump support.

We have FIVE Trump 2020 yard signs, one “Proud to Back the Blue” yard sign, and a hand-made yard sign saying “This yard is being monitored by video camera.” We also have a 3 ft by 5 ft Trump 2020 flag spread out and nailed above the garage door—It looks huge and AWESOME. We also have patriotic bunting across the front courtyard gate and six medium size American flags placed in large landscaping pots in our front yard. We definitely have the most awesome Trump yard in the entire neighborhood!!
I bring all my yard signs in before dark and put them out in the yard right after sunrise. So far no stealing or vandalism.
This morning I walked 2 miles to the Palm Beach Library (in West Palm) from my house for early voting, hoping I might see the President vote. I hung out with the hundreds of Trump supporters, there were a handful of Biden’s. Since the president alternates routes I figured I’d missed him both times and started walking home, then he came by. My video clip shows him passing 20’away but the reflection prevents a good look.
The crowd was enthusiastic. Probably 50% Cuban, South American, and Central American Spanish. Lara Loomer had a brief rally. There was such high energy for Trump. Women for Trump, Blacks for Trump, Black Boaters for Trump, Bikers, a couple LGBT for Trump. A huge Pro-Israel/Trump truck.
Here in Palm Beach, typically very blue, I have only seen two Biden bumper stickers. Until 2 weeks ago I saw no Biden signs, but since then in the 99% Black middle class neighborhoods, all the signs put in were “assembly line”. Clearly Biden campaign workers went door to door asking permission to put a sign in their yard. Not one Biden sign outside the cookie cutter yard signs. Local election signs outnumber Biden in minority neighborhoods.
Two plywood, stenciled “Say No to Kamala” signs attached to trees with some effort, went without graffiti for several days. They’re still hanging and legible.
Lots of contractors fly big American and Trump flags on their trucks.
I’m watching Trump now speaking in NC after leaving FL. He is in the zone, upbeat, energetic. We are in amazing times.
Yes, the American flag in many cases is a kind of proxy for a Trump/Pence sign, especially in places where the risk of vandalism is so great people are nervous about possible damage from being openly associated with Trump.
Becker is somewhat close to the Twin Cities, I guess an outer suburb. Outside the Twin Cities and inner suburbs, my guess is solid Trump. Inner suburbs I consider up in the air. Places like Edina appear to have gone woke, but then people in Edina are slavishly image conscious and will follow the latest cool trend (combination junior high and yuppie mentality). Minneapolis and Saint Paul are lost causes. Let them burn.
My area of Southeastern Michigan has lots of Biden signs and most near me with BLM signs. And people with flagpoles in front of their houses with either an LGBTQ flag or BLM.
I admit I saw one Americn flag after maybe 10 others recently. This is an area infested with evil.
I was in a drive through and the car ahead (electric) had “Trump/Pence” but as I looked closer to see the 2nd line it said “Trump/Pence Must Go.”
That would have been the first and only Trump sign I have ever seen this year. Not exaggerating.
I live in a commercial fishing town. I see plenty of Biden signs here...Ashore.
But on the boats it’s all Trump flags. Boats are being put up for the winter now, but over the summer Trump flags were ubiquitous.
If you want to see lots of Biden and BLM signs, come up here to NH.
Just in the past 2 weeks these signs have exploded up everywhere around here.
Not too long ago this state believed in it’s motto “Live Free or Die”, not anymore. The cancer of Marxism has invaded NH completely.
In northern VA its mostly biden signs.
“If you’re a Trump voter in a mixed area, you think twice before putting out a Trump sign. You don’t want your car keyed, your house burnt, your business Yelped etc.”
Not unlike voter registration. Every conservative county and city employee I know is registered as “non-affiliated” instead of Republican. Democrat elected officials control the local governments and have appointed leftist county and city managers who in turn work to keep conservatives out of county and city jobs.
While my liberal family have shut up about the election, I think most of them will still vote for the corrupt D's.
Just hope, pray and don't worry.
There was even less for Romney, nobody really liked him.
A friend in Sunrise (which is not only in Broward County, but is about a mile from Debbie Wasserman Schultz office) had to wait 30 mins out side polling place in the rain to vote. With the enthusiasm gap it was not a sure thing that the others were Biden voters.
He said during the summer a Hispanic young lady was knocking at doors in his condo in Sunrise, working for Trump. Something is up.
American Flag out + No lawn signs = Traditional/Libertarian/GOP Trump Supporter
No lawn signs = Trump Supporter, probably Independent or SCARED Dem
