But I fear that those thugs that have been driving their coal rollers with trump flags around will become violent.

It’s a shame you have to pull your bumper stickers for fear they will attract trouble.

It's been like this since Wednesday morning. Very strange. Very little traffic, no people walking their dogs, nobody is out in the yard raking or watering.

It's like the first act of a movie by M. Night Shyamalan.

predominately Trumpers. So darn quiet so far today,Zero Golf Carts going down the street. All our Trumper Neighbors have not come out side yet. Tons of the Trump Signs vanished over night. Only two left.

Walked out village a bit ago to make sure all our Biden Harris signs were standing straight and proud. Heavy duty winds today.

Silence is very outspoken since this morning. I even went into the heart of trumpland Missouri ... in a Walmart. No one is happy, ....but my family... we dont dare express our celebration of Biden win, for fear of those that cant handle the fact they lost their fuhrer.... today was like May 8, 1945. We won the war!
