44. I live in a county that went 80% trump in 2020
Tue Sep 10, 2024, 02:00 PM
Sep 2024

Back then signs and flags and trump crap was EVERYWHERE. This year, I have seen only three or four signs for him anywhere. I've seen more for Haaris than him so far.

Amazing sign.

I usually work the polls on election day but this year I cannot, because it's a chemo day for me. I hope everything goes smooth.
