(27,038 posts)...in the Seattle suburbs on election night, setting off fireworks for hours.
There's also the WankerPanzer flying a Trump flag around the Madison Park area of Seattle, making a point of pulling over to harass homeless people, and making a point of either parking in a handicapped space or blocking a fire hydrant while doing so.

(836 posts)Late this afternoon, I went down to the Mexican fish taco restaurant in my neighborhood to get some take out fish tacos and a plate of rice and beans. On the sidewalks just prior to the Turd's election, someone had spray-painted with a stencil pattern in white paint a silhouette image of the Turd with the lettering "Vote Trump." Today, I saw similar stencilled imaging spray-painted in black paint onto the sidewalks of a Mexican Aztec sacrifice skull with the lettering "FUCK I.C.E."

He's a sweet little old man we see walking a couple of frou frou dogs, always very friendly. Guess he doesn't know we're woke enemies of the people.

I think the guy on Fulton behind the BCDP HQ finally took his signs down.

(57,596 posts)I'm not seeing any of the red caps and t-shirts that were all over the place after 2016... I still see bumper stickers, but a lot fewer than '16 and '20. I also live in a DARK red neighborhood and only three homes had their TFG signs and flags up in celebration after the election. And when I'm out in public I don't constantly overhear the angry orange idiot's name in conversation anymore...
With the exception of some online spaces and social media, I haven't seen hardly any of the low-class, in-your-face gloating from Trumpers... I don't know if this is good for us, or really bad for us moving forward.

(57,596 posts)Donnie went from a joke anti-candidate to the White House in 2016 because people believed he could actually win...
He won again because people believed his comeback was inevitable and it became a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Now we're all believing he's about to be this all-powerful autocratic despot who will deploy his brainwashed minions to violently impose his will on anyone he seems disloyal...
But what if the power he holds over our thoughts, emotions and fears about the future was a total mirage? 🤔

(76,737 posts)I did see one guy on FB who posted a pro-felon rant today. I immediately contacted my sister -- she had been in school with him up to when he quit in 9th grade -- to see if she saw his post. It was rather obvious that he had been drinking heavily. I'm sure the felon and him would be buddies if they met! Pathetic!

That guy who quit 9th grade probably was promoted with his age group to 9th grade.

(55,091 posts)Ok, I'm not saying there's any specific evidence of fraud and I'm not saying we should whine like Donnie did 4 years ago and so on...
I'm just saying, there's a lot of highly circumstantial evidence suggesting that the vote count was larger than his actual support. So little enthusiasm, so few signs, he barely campaigned during the last critical weeks, so little celebration, etc. I've never, ever seen a winning campaign look and act like that.
I'm just saying that if somehow, years later, it's revealed that there was fraud, then yeah, that would not surprise me in the least.
Not that it would change a damn thing, I mean, we found out later that Al gore actually won Florida, but that changed nothing....

(27,038 posts)...because him winning "honestly" means that the electorate might eventually come to its senses and start electing decent people again. If the results were gamed, that means we can look forward to Trump and his minions "winning" every national election forever.

(18,443 posts)red area even prior to the election there were few signs. And the few signs there were disappeared so quickly this time--some Trump signs were taken down around the time of that Madison Square Garden rally prior to even the election. It's been like a ghost town since election day. (Some of that right now is due to cold weather, but even in November when it was sunny and warm there was just no activity to be seen on the streets.)

(29,554 posts)I still see businesses flying Trump flags (I always go on Yelp to give a Nazi-callout review), but all the private Trump signs and flags are gone afaict. I can’t tell if it’s chilling (supporters have gone back underground) or hopeful (supporters are waking up).
