Observation from heavily red Western PA
If anyone remembers me telling everyone that Josh Shapiro and John Fetterman in Pennsylvania were shoe-ins based the number of yard signs around for them and their opponents in my area in Western PA in 2022, here’s my observation in 2024. There are a shockingly low number of Trump signs/flags/banners/stickers on vehicles around compared to 2016 and 2020 and those are pretty much on the property of the same MAGAts who have had them out for eight years. No new Trump signs have been popping up. I have seen two Biden/Harris banners (one pre-, one post-debate) on houses I have not seen them on before.
I really think deep down inside most people just want Trump to go away. The hard-core MAGAts will not leave the cult until the Flavor-Aid is served, but my guess is that there are enough Republicans and Independents that just don’t want Trump back in office that he won’t be.
You can argue with me that paraphernalia on properties and vehicles don’t matter, but I am seeing (or not seeing) the same things that I saw in 2022.
The election is still four months away, but the observations traveling around my area are definitely a good sign for Biden and Democrats in a very heavy GOP area.
I realize that the DUmp monkeys are completely backwards from normal people, but I still can't grasp how they, even with their extremely limited intelligence, can call Trump supporters members of a cult.
To an outsider who had an imbecile level or higher IQ , who would most seem like a cultist? Someone who supports the man who had low unemployment, low inflation, and no new wars? Or someone who fervently supports a feeble old man who can only operate somewhat normally between the hours of 10 AM and 4 PM, shakes hands with ghosts, is prone to wonder off, falls up stairs, mumbles, has inflation through the roof, and several new wars?
