You have no idea how right you are. If I can interject a quick travel report: I live in Denver, and the past couple of days I’ve driven down through South Park, across the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado, through Durango and Cortez, and today across the Navajo reservation, to Flagstaff, down to Sedona (Arizona’s version of Boulder), and ended in Williams. And you know what?
In those over 700 miles I have not seen a single Biden-Harris sign. Not one. But what I have seen is more Trump-Pence signs and banners than I could possible count. All across the heavily Hispanic, historically Democrat stretch of southern and southwestern Colorado, Trump banners are like Burma Shave signs - one after another. Also everywhere are American flags, thin blue line flags, “Trump Train” banners, etc. I think Hispanic support for Trump is very strong.
I also noticed that in southwestern Colorado, at least, the “cult of the mask” was pretty weak. We walked into restaurants and stores without masks, and no one cared a bit, and we were far from the only ones. While some wore masks, I would say most customers of businesses and just people on the streets in general did not wear them. And they didn’t freak out if you got within six feet, either. It was, dare I say, like normal life.
Of course, I didn’t see any Trump signs in Sedona, but neither did I see any Biden ones. I did see a thin blue line flag, though.
Here’s the icing on the cake: Out in the middle of the Navajo Reservation, we passed a Navajo high school. Out front was a sign with the name of their sports teams on it. Anyone want to guess what it was?........THE REDSKINS!!! I was laughing so hard I almost drove off the road. I’m sure some pasty white liberal will be along shortly to tell them how their team name is “racist” and must be changed.
Oh, and when I drove through Buena Vista earlier in the trip, I passed a block where maybe a hundred Trump supporters were manning both sides of the street. waving Trump banners and American flags and waving to cars. Most of the cars were honking and waving back. It was awesome.
Nowhere in my travels would you have known that Biden-Harris even exist.
I’m in a conserv area, and seen several Trump flags. NO signs anywhere, just those flags.
I saw WAY more hillary signs around here last time. Youtube vids are 90% anti biden. Facebook is mostly anti-biden. Twitter hands on left, but it’s struggling.
None of this means it’s a sure thing in any way. This election will likely be very close.
Thanks for sharing that. I live in Durango and see the same things in the Four corners area.
I love the Redskins story and will use it to irritate a Liberal.
That sounds like a great road trip. Thanks for sharing.
We drove through a part of SW Houston, that is/has been predominantly lib (to get to a memorial service)....and, we did not see ONE Biden sign.
But....we DID see a YUGE Trump sign, on one of the corner houses, on full display.
Hubby said, They’re brave!
I hope this is a ground swell majority like none other, before.
I would have slammed on my breaks, landed in a ditch upside down, broken and bruised, crawled out of the mangled wreckage, dragged my body with broken leg in tow...to get a picture of that school's football team name...hahaha.
Thanx for the encouraging post. Top post of the day i’d say.
