I went out to my folks' house yesterday and I was shocked. They are in sort of a rural area and I saw exactly two Trump signs and probably twenty for Harris plus a few for prominent State democrats where they weren't displaying presidential signs.

By contrast my neighborhood is probably closer to 50/50 and we're more suburban what with having sidewalks and all.

While a lack of signs signals people losing interest in Trump, which is great, I expect the vast majority of R party line voters will still vote for him anyway because of their fear that Harris will take away their guns or force them to get abortions or out of fear of immigrants because the rest of the R party promotes the same lies and fear mongering.

They just won't be as excited about it anymore.

Or force them to get a gay marriage.
