100 or so trucks and cars with Trump banners and flyers having a parade in front of my store honking and waving away. There was a lot of honking and waving back... some not so nice, but a lot more supporters thanI would have guessed.

Huh. Interestin'. Let's hope that unlike the rioters, they can keep it to just driving around with flags after the election.
I see that sort of thing on an individual basis all. the. time. around my area. Dudes in loud ass pickups with various flags. I'm glad I do. Contrary opinions expressed out in the open are what's keeping us from sliding further.

We have had a couple of those Trump parades around our outer loop, about 84 miles. . Hundreds of cars, lots of folks on the overpasses cheering them on.

On my thrice-weekly walks, I try to vary where I walk so as not to get bored. I walk through our little town, as well as the four adjacent suburbs. The total population of the 5 burbs is about 100K.
I have seen countless Biden/Harris signs on lawns and in windows.
I have seen three Trump signs. Three.
Now, understand, this is Crook County, Illinois, but still...

Good question. Probably no Trump signs, iirc.

Saw one just today.
And it was a Lexus SUV. Flag on top, bumper stickers. Kind of freaked the boy out a bit.
There was a parade of them maybe a month ago on a Saturday morning.

Why should a Trump sign trigger the lad?

I can see them being kind of freaky to others who aren't used to it. It's a matter of what you're used to seeing I think.

It wasn’t the mere fact of a Trump sign, there are a few of those around here. It was the aggressive in-your-face nature of the big flags on the SUV.

Those flags are commonplace here.

As I said, I can understand that reaction. But there are also far more disturbing things going on.

Holy Shit! Last night I saw some guy putting 10 Biden Harris signs up. Half were on our common community property and half on the property of the local elementary school and polling place. I decided to get the Trump signs Karla had put up (signs aren’t my bag but they are Karla’s. this year). By the time I got over there last night the HOA had already pulled his signs down on our property but left the five on the school property, so that’s where I put Karla’s two. While I was out there two other guys came out and each put up a Trump sign. 5-4 m, frr err lt good about that.
I took the dogs out for their walk this morning. There are now 19 TRUMP/PENCE SIGNS VS THE ORIGINAL 4 BIDEN SIGNS!!!!!
Then, during the walk, a guy comes jogging past with a Trump banner and all the cars on the road were honking and waving... This could be interesting!

Loudoun County used to be about 100% red.
It has gone straight down the tubes.
A comeback would be nice.
