I just returned from a 10 day western road trip.
Left 6/29.
Returned today.
L.P. > TX. > N.M. > Az. > NV. > Socal/Norcal > NV. > Utah > AZ. > N.M. > TX > L.P.
5,000+ miles all by me.

Not one solitary Biden flag, bumper sticker or yard sign seen on the entire trip.

Boulder City NV. Did have a brew house on main street emblazened with Trump / American flags.

I realize this is anecdotal and the dementia riddled potato will get millions more "ballots" than he deserves, but anyone that does support him is too embarrassed to show it publicly.

P.S. - CenCal farmers hate Newsome, Nancy, pencil neck and their 2 state reps.
This was shown on multitudes of massive billboards next to I-5 in central valley.

That’s 500 miles a day. Did you just drive around the entire 10 days?

I just spent a few days in DC, all of the street vendors were loaded with Trump gear. We only saw one vendor selling Biden-onky items and it was a sad and lonely spot.

Pretty much. We did 1 day in Boulder, 1 in Vegas, 1 in L.A., 2.5 in Sonoma.
2 days driving out, 3 back in.
In retrospect it was dumb, but amazing scenery.
I hope my son looks back on it fondly.
P.S. - I think I broke his fear of flying.

Did similar trip and was not only surprised to see nothing Biden / Harris, but a ton of FJB shite. I'm talking SF, LA and SD.

I would expect Biden paraphernalia in Cali and vegas.
Not a single EV (10,000's of them) had Joe support.

I did see FJB in the concrete footer at a Northern. Nev gas pump.

I live in Utah and travel around the region very often.. ANYWHERE outside of a major city in any state you go to is Trump country. Especially rural Nevada, Oregon and California.
Surprisingly even the Native lands around the 4 corners are super pro Trump.

I have a fairy tale dream that one day North/Eastern California (in my opinion the most naturally beautiful part of the lower 48) will secede from the coastal idiocracy they’ve been subjected to live under.. was there a few weeks ago and the normalcy I experienced was shocking.
California isn’t entirely lost, but those poor “normal” people have pretty much no chance at this point.

I was in Michigan a few weeks ago (southwest Michigan and central Michigan mostly). The count was 58 Trump signs and 1 Biden signs. Didn't really go into any major cities though.

Just because they're ashamed of Joe doesn't mean that they won't vote for him.

Doesn’t matter they’ll still count the votes and stuff ballots. It’s over folks.

I love road trips out west.
That is all.

I drove from south LA to Philadelphia in 2020.

I didn't see a single Biden flag/sticker until I hit Pennsylvania. Even then I think I saw less than 10 the entire time.

I've always felt he didn't have the support that "showed up" based on the visual evidence observed.

I mean, people haven't been excited about Biden in years. But just wait til Kamala announces, then you'll start seeing "I'm with #her" and some kind of black fist emoji everywhere.

Central California farmers are insignificant out there. The coast determines the state . The coast largely is a majority loony left including Sacramento. A dead Biden would beat a live Trump , circa 1986 out there. Same in Washington State where the SeaTac area dictates which way the state will go

I've been all over the great Red state of Oklahoma more this year that any other year of my life. I've easily traveled 4000 miles in this state alone. Been everywhere from Beaver's Bend to Robber's Cave to Little Sahara to No Man's Land to Ponce City/Law Lake to Grand Lake.

The wife and I are very observant while on the road. We always look at flags, yard signs, billboards, bumper stickers, license plates, etc.. This is also anecdotal but I can tell you that I've seen tens of thousands of cars and no Biden bumper stickers. None. I've seen thousands of homes and businesses and only American Flags and Trump flags. I did see a couple rainbow flags in windows around the Stillwater area but that's it.

One thing I will give as a fair warning though. I know most on this board generally refrain from custom at Walmart whenever possible, but I strongly encourage avoidance of the Walmart in Broken Bow. It seems as if there's a hidden prerequisite in their hiring process that requires applicants to be Militant Rainbow Brigade freaks. I've not seen such a dense concentration of weird motherfrickers since my last trip a little too far down Bourbon Street.
