The appalling stories about MAGA hats and Trump signs on the other hand are legion. I didn't put a Trump sticker on my car because I didn't want to get keyed.

Yeah, rarely hear of lefty's shit getting vandalized. My car (the spare my kids drove) got keyed in a CVS parking lot in liberal Swarthmore back during beginning of the Iraq War because I had a DOD/base decal on the windshield. They keyed the decals and then up and down the sides of the car. I was PISSED!

Fetterman performing his song and dance show in Clarion wasn't well publicized if at all.
News to most of us out in the sticks, you know, the one's they want to reach out to.
It was at a designer brewery that's not what I'd call a hotspot for the rural mob.
Clarion is a small town looking for economic salvation with the college helping reinvent it. They're a major employer here.
Same thing when he came on his Mary Jane tour. Held on the college campus with limited public parking.
Can't recall any local/rural advertisement for it.
Over next door in Jefferson county, that didn't have a campus, the reaction was not what he wanted to hear.
Didn't hear if he stopped over there on his way through.

Afraid? No, more like embarrassed.

Bullshit. We don't play that way.

My next-door lefty neighbors put up all the signs and undoubtedly vote the 'wrong' way.

Yeah, they're definitely the 'minority' hereabouts.

But we don't tear their shit down, we still invite them to the neighborhood block party, etc. They're decent (if misguided) folks and we all get along.

It's the Trump flags that get torn down, etc. I don't think it's my neighbors doing it, but "that side" are the ones doing such crap, not us.

Let me see how many from the republican side have acted like this 🤔

The Democratic Party's brand is so toxic in some parts of rural America that liberals are removing bumper stickers and refusing to acknowledge their party affiliation publicly.

So that just means Fetterman wins the election by 51% after the mail-in votes are counted..

If the trucking shortage cuts off food to the suburbs and those Lefty Leaning soccer moms have to eat their dogs, or each other...hand me a beer.

People are waking up. I hope.
