The demise of my local "Trumpsville"?

Yes my trip (Sept. 8th 11:15 AM EST) through formerly Trump flag infested ville (2020) did produce a number of yard signs for the Presidency. 100% of them for Harris/Walz; shockingly zero % for Trump or others. You too Missy Smasal, none for lying Jen Kiggans, Va #2.

So this is in stark contrast to the NYT as I did 100% of the route. But as Bob Dylan once crooned and paraphrased. "This wasn't done around Wall Street tycoons. This was done somewhere down in the United States..."

here in Western Montana,where the flags are larger than the pick-ups carrying them. The GOP stand at last week's county fair had precious few visitors.

there are almost as many tRUMP signs as 2020, but I have yet to see a single redneck truck with tRUMP and confederate flags. Good news is that I'm actually seeing Harris/Walz signs--not many, but they're there!
