Has the American flag replaced the Trump sign/flag?

I crossed the Mason-Dixon line today, driving north on Route 30 from the Baltimore area into Pennsylvania. I drove through farmland, side streets, developments, etc. Not unexpectedly, there were a healthy smattering of Trump signs/flags, but not as many as you would expect in this rural, pro-Trump area. What was striking, however, were the number of American flags that were out in front of houses. A couple of suburban developments south of Hanover had probably one American flag for every 5 houses, and there was probably a Trump sign/flag one to every 12 houses.

Weirdly, I saw zero Trump bumper stickers in my 2 hour drive through Trump country (I saw zero Biden anything all day). Additionally, there were a smattering of other possibly "shy" Trump supporters, e.g., thin blue line flag, "vote freedom," etc. Bottom line: I thought the Hanover, PA area was celebrating the 4th of July--that's how many flags were out in yards and on houses. Has the American flag replaced Trump signs?

Anytime I see a BLM sign, I consider it the same as any other communist flag or symbol.

I just drove next to a 20 car motorcade, with huge Trump flags and American flags. This was in Los Gatos, California near San Jose.

Where are you talking about?

Walking around town there were a lot of quiet “thumbs up” at our hats. We’ll see...

I wear my Keep American Great hat when I travel. Lots of thumbs up and ‘nice hat’ comments. Flight crews and TSA workers as well, but very discreetly.

we have to prevent the vote harvesting

“...my uber-lib sister, saying “If you see a Trump flag, you know who they’re voting for. If you see an American flag, they’re voting for Biden.” I think she may be a BIT off...”

LOL! Let her/them believe that. Maybe even say to her “Yeah, a Confederate flag means a Trump supporter!”

All for a country likely to give 70% of its vote to Biden.

WE spoke to her cousin ((a strong Trump supporter) about this (mind you Sun City is a very large gated community). She said there has been a rash of sign stealings reported in the community news letter.

What's so weird about people not wanting their cars keyed?

Mine (bumper sticker) is just an American flag that says VOTE!

[CatOwner]

Trump will be lucky to hit 30% in Silicon Valley. He barely received 20% in Santa Clara County in 2016.

Your sister is off

LOL

I’ve banned any political stickers on our cars. My office is in a metro area. No way I’m presenting a target while parked in a parking garage.

Yes, I saw this virtue signaling version along with a Biden sign too...Orange Co., CA...but right next door, the house had a flag pole with an enormous Trump flag! I’m sure those neighbors get along swell!

That's really clever.
It's just that we seem to have entered a new era where decency, civility and respect for other's rights has been discarded by the left. These people have adopted a terrorist mentality where they'll punish you for not agreeing with them.

Biden's supporters don't carry bumper stickers due to lack of enthusiasm and Trump supporters don't either due to lack of safety.

I haven’t seen a single political bumper sticker on any cars, but since this is Farm Country, there are pro/con Chevy and Ford stickers and a lot of NRA stuff. :)

Trump signs are a bit ahead of Biden signs, and on the Main Drag of the nearest town (2K population) there was an older guy sitting in a vacant lot FILLED with Trump signs and he had an American flag and a comfy lawn chair, LOL! I honked. He waived. Did my heart good. :)

When I worked in ‘The People’s Republic of Madistan’ I had a Bush/Cheney sticker on my car. Car was keyed and back window smashed.

I haven’t made that mistake since, though I do have a POW magnet/sticker and a few hunting club stickers on my SUV.

In the city there are pockets where every house has a Biden sign. These tend to be in the wealthier neighborhoods. In the poorer neighborhoods there is a mix of Trump and Biden signs with more Trump signs that I have seen. There are also Bernie holdouts in the poorer neighborhoods in the city.

The community as a whole, city and county, has a Republican voter registration advantage, so Trump will win here.

There are more American flags here than anything else, and some of the flag decorated houses have flags, banners, bunting, all dressed up like I have never seen before. I might be wrong but I think these are mostly Trump voters who would crawl over broken glass to cast their ballots.

This is in Pennsylvania.

THAT Was us!!!

LOL!!!

There were about 50 cars

Wanna drive with us or do rallies

We rally in Morgan Hill on Fridays and Bear Creek Road over Hwy 17 on Saturday’s

Eastern plains of Colorado appears to be Trump strong. I drove from Fort Collins to Sterling and on into Nebraska and a good portion of western Iowa. I never saw so much as a single Biden sign. Only Trump/Pence signs.

I think the big numbers predicted for Biden are a total sham. I think they are depending on the ‘everybody is doing it’ crowd to generate demonrat votes.

And still many demonrats fail to acknowledge their denomination in their mailed fliers. I actually get more demonrat flyers than republican or independent ones. Not sure why.
