For years my family always worked for different levels of government entities - so according to all the ‘employee’ rules my parents never displayed political signs, nor did I

However, I know of no one who was reprimanded in my sister’s office for wearing Democrat campaign paraphernalia in the ‘08 and ‘12 elections - I wonder what would happen now

My neighborhood is pretty weird - like I know most of my street is Trump - but a few streets over are not. There are only three houses with signage - someone with a Biden sign, someone with a BLM sign and my house that has a sign to vote ‘yes’ for the pro life amendment thingy for the Louisiana constitution

I almost want a Trump sign - but with no cameras - I’m not brave enough

I think we are living on the edge of a time not unlike Germany in the 1930s, as Hitler and his Nazi thugs gained more and more power. Or like Russians living in the old Soviet Union. Yard signs put a bulls eye on our homes, property, loved ones and selves. Only those who have no discernment could miss the obvious and invite violence to befall them.

Farmer lost 2 semis full of grain, a combine, and tractor because he had Trump flags on the combine.

TL;DR? I don't have a Trump sign in my front yard because my house's windows cost me A LOT of money.


I would argue that you are simply using logic based on the observable behaviors displayed by leftist loons.

Just vote. I'm not telling Facebook who I'm voting for but Im voting. Trump supporters don't have to be loud. Just do what you're supposed to do.


This is the correct answer.

Ha....I fought one on the nextdoor app here because she couldn't see the irony of demanding unity, love, and an end to hate despite her shrill attempts to shout each non biden person down.

I feel your pain. We lived for 13 years in Travis County.

I live in a small, lower middle class gated community and I would never put anything political in my yard.

I would never expect any of my neighbors to do anything to my house, but I do think that it could alter how people interact.

As a matter of fact, no one in our neighborhood has put out any political signs or made any statement as to who they support.

It is too risky nowadays.

People take it to seriously.

Nope. I have a good job in a liberal field. I also have a baby in the way, so there is no way I’m letting others know I’m voting for Trump.

Even if i had cameras, I would not want to go through it. I'd rather sit and wait for the vandals.

AggieEx,

You didn’t wear camo in the army because you were a coward, but because you were smart. Sounds like your still making smart decisions in the 09. Stay strong & safe

Silent Majority at play here.

You have countless Americans that fit the same situation.

They are in a no-win situation whom ever they support.

Just do your job and vote.

That is why I cannot fathom all this mail in voting crap. When you go through that process, every one will know who you voted for.

At least in LA when you early vote or vote in person on Election Day, you are a blank database entry. No one will know who you voted for unless every one voted the same.

Meh. Yard signs do not change anyone's vote, just like wearing a cross doesn't win anyone to Christ.

Just live according to your own creed and cast your vote. Silent majority.

on’t be afraid. When I ever wear a Trump hat or flag I always get way more positive reactions than negative


In publix today an employee said " I love your Trump hat". Get an open carry license and carry your gun on your side and nobody will say anything to you.

I don’t wear political stuff b/c it’s not my style. I have voiced my opinion on social media a lot lately and I feel like some of my black acquaintance are acting more distant than normal.
