The Trump bumper stickers have magically disappeared!

As a social experiment, I decided to drive through a very busy Winn Dixie parking lot, aisle by aisle.

In October, there were quite a few T stickers to be found. Today - NONE. Not a one. I even swung over to the next shopping center parking lot where the theater, shops and restaurants are located. Same story there. Not one.

Hope lives!

Hadn't really thought about that but, now that you mention it, I haven't seen that many of them either. I'm in a deep red area and there were a lot. Buyer's remorse? We can only hope.

One neighbor still has her Clinton/Kane sign in her window. I pass almost everyday and feel sad what could have been.

I too would see numerous Trump stickers in the more rural counties around where I live. I drove through two counties yesterday and didn't see one either. I thought that was surprising.

They finally figured out that openly supporting a racist, sexist, fascist dictator was attracting sharp objects to the paint and tires of their cars. Some in my area are really slow learners.

Disclaimer: it's a joke you moron.

They still get what all the hub-bub is about, but they know they have to be a bit stealthy about the support. It's not cool to be openly supporting "it" any longer.

They are still out there and still as deplorable as ever. Just harder to spot now.

We were in the Villages(!) this weekend and I didn't see one Trump sticker. Same with Ocala yesterday. I see very few now in my little red county.

People are pissed, and I think things will blow up this summer. It is a general dislike for all things tRump and his supporters are likely feeling the hate from the sane ones.
