My theory on the lack of Trump signs

One is less support. The other is that this cycle they have not opened up field offices nor does the GOP have a coordinated campaign like they have had in past election cycles. From my understanding since Trump's daughter in law took over the GOP it is every candidate for themselves. I wouldn't underestimate his support by the lack of signs and at the same time I would not underestimate the GOP has no ground operations for the days leading up to election day and the impact that might have.

If you also consider the disparity of crowd sizes, I actually do think that it speaks to a difference in enthusiasm. D23MIURG23 Sep 13 #7

all over the place in my area of a swing state - PA. I can't drive to work in the morning without either throwing up in my mouth or fantasizing about how to create mayhem undetected.

In a suburb of Detroit. It's kind of scary. And here I thought Harris was kicking ass. Based on what I'm seeing, it's going to be a close election.

A) A lack of enthusiasm among the MAGAt electorate.
B) A lack of ground-game organization by the GOP.

I don't see this as good news for TCF, either way.

One of the two has planted Democratic signs for 4 different elections to include Harris/Walz.

What you are saying is plausible, though, and I wouldn't be surprised if it were part of the story.
