Anyone seeing outbursts of enthusiastic Trump supporters?

[OAITW r.2.0]

I'm not and I am in a rural community.

[sakabatou]

1. IRL? No.

[Deuxcents]

2. No. I didn't see much for his election, either.

[regnaD kciN]

36. Well, there was someone driving around our neighborhood...

...in the Seattle suburbs on election night, setting off fireworks for hours.

There's also the WankerPanzer flying a Trump flag around the Madison Park area of Seattle, making a point of pulling over to harass homeless people, and making a point of either parking in a handicapped space or blocking a fire hydrant while doing so.

3. With the exception of...

Our gov, legislature and US senators, I'm not seeing it.

[2naSalit]

4. And the two clowns...

Posing as House critters.

[UTUSN]

5. Nope! My take is they're realizing they're getting what they wished for.

[niyad]

6. Not me. .But then, I live in the slightly saner part of town. No idea what

they are doing on the northeast magat side. Although. . . .the first waves of the Arctic blsst are freezing and snowing on us, sooooo. . .

[Tarzanrock]

7. Here, in metropolitan Los Angeles.

Late this afternoon, I went down to the Mexican fish taco restaurant in my neighborhood to get some take out fish tacos and a plate of rice and beans. On the sidewalks just prior to the Turd's election, someone had spray-painted with a stencil pattern in white paint a silhouette image of the Turd with the lettering "Vote Trump." Today, I saw similar stencilled imaging spray-painted in black paint onto the sidewalks of a Mexican Aztec sacrifice skull with the lettering "FUCK I.C.E."

8. Guy up the street from us.

We live in a very progressive neighborhood in the blue city of San Antonio, but there's a guy in the next block who has (gramatically incorrect) pro-police and pro-TSF signs in his yard, and saw today he'd added more TSF signs.

He's a sweet little old man we see walking a couple of frou frou dogs, always very friendly. Guess he doesn't know we're woke enemies of the people.

[LeftInTX]

26. I was driving on Wilson Street (near Jefferson HS) a few weeks ago and saw a backyard full of Trump signs.

They've mostly disappeared from suburbia, however.
I think the guy on Fulton behind the BCDP HQ finally took his signs down.

[Blue_Tires]

9. I had made a similar observation a couple weeks after the election

I'm not seeing any of the red caps and t-shirts that were all over the place after 2016... I still see bumper stickers, but a lot fewer than '16 and '20. I also live in a DARK red neighborhood and only three homes had their TFG signs and flags up in celebration after the election. And when I'm out in public I don't constantly overhear the angry orange idiot's name in conversation anymore...

With the exception of some online spaces and social media, I haven't seen hardly any of the low-class, in-your-face gloating from Trumpers... I don't know if this is good for us, or really bad for us moving forward.

[OAITW r.2.0]

10. My point exactly. No real understanding of what they voted for...but, they will be fleeced.

[Blue_Tires]

12. Perception becomes reality

Donnie went from a joke anti-candidate to the White House in 2016 because people believed he could actually win...

He won again because people believed his comeback was inevitable and it became a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Now we're all believing he's about to be this all-powerful autocratic despot who will deploy his brainwashed minions to violently impose his will on anyone he seems disloyal...

But what if the power he holds over our thoughts, emotions and fears about the future was a total mirage? 🤔

13. But what if the power he holds over our thoughts, emotions and fears about the future was a total mirage? 🤔

Indeed....I'll be launching spitballs from the upper galley.

[Blues Heron]

14. We know he killed hundreds of thousands of people last time due to the COVID misinfo, that was no mirage.

He can do a lot of damage, the guy is insane. He has a track record.

[OAITW r.2.0]

20. Republicans gave him a ride on 2 legit Impeachments. Now the POTUS is a convicted con.

Well done, "rule of law" Republicans. Especially Lindsey Graham...he should have gotten an Oscar for his performance of the righteous Republican anger when William Jefferson Clinton got a BJ..

[Baitball Blogger]

11. All I've seen is one Commercial landscaper who had a Trump bumper sticker on the glass of his cab.

But, now that you mention it, they're quiet. Too quiet.

[H2O Man]

15. Recommended.

I did see one guy on FB who posted a pro-felon rant today. I immediately contacted my sister -- she had been in school with him up to when he quit in 9th grade -- to see if she saw his post. It was rather obvious that he had been drinking heavily. I'm sure the felon and him would be buddies if they met! Pathetic!

[OAITW r.2.0]

17. Kind of happy that I never bought into Facebook.

One less metaphysical rabbit hole that I was able to avoid. I don't think I missed much.

[H2O Man]

34. It allows me

to see & talk to my daughter, son-in-law, and new baby granddaughter, who live in Europe,

[Dave Bowman]

31. "he quit in 9th grade"

That explains a lot about him being a Dump follower.

[H2O Man]

35. Yes, it does.

[Captain Zero]

45. Social Promotion Diplomas

I know full well a lot of the Maga voters from my high school were Social Promotion Diplomas.

That guy who quit 9th grade probably was promoted with his age group to 9th grade.

[prodigitalson]

16. they are pleased as punch around here...deep east texas

[OAITW r.2.0]

18. I guess I'd have to ask them. What are you looking forward to?

[prodigitalson]

19. the mass deportations, for one

that gives them a big hard on

because, jesus

[OAITW r.2.0]

22. Do they understand the economic consequences?

Trump should make this happen in Texas and Florida. See how well that works.

[prodigitalson]

23. they understand neither economics nor consequences

just that it feels good

[Dave Bowman]

32. Apparently only the most primitive parts of their brains are working.

[prodigitalson]

33. that is correct

[regnaD kciN]

37. One of the key appeals of Trump...

...is that, for his supporters, he can't necessarily make their lives better, but he sure as hell can make the lives of those he tells them are their enemies much worse.

[prodigitalson]

40. I concur and would only add that while that is their reasoning they probably can't articulate it like you just did

it just occurs on a cellular level photosynthesis in plants

[Blue Full Moon]

21. Red city and the local bakery is offering trump cookies

Almost every post was against trump. The guy across the street took down all of his trump garbage after 3 years of it being there.

[boonecreek]

24. A few jackwads in my neiborhood

flying Trump flags, one with "fuck your feelings" on it.
I 'm waiting for a couple of years from now so I can ask
"So, how are your feelings now.?"

[OAITW r.2.0]

25. This deserves a

[boonecreek]

27. Well thank you.

[Kaleva]

28. People are more subdued, calmer.

[unblock]

29. I hate to sound conspiracy-theorist-y, but...

Ok, I'm not saying there's any specific evidence of fraud and I'm not saying we should whine like Donnie did 4 years ago and so on...

I'm just saying, there's a lot of highly circumstantial evidence suggesting that the vote count was larger than his actual support. So little enthusiasm, so few signs, he barely campaigned during the last critical weeks, so little celebration, etc. I've never, ever seen a winning campaign look and act like that.

I'm just saying that if somehow, years later, it's revealed that there was fraud, then yeah, that would not surprise me in the least.

Not that it would change a damn thing, I mean, we found out later that Al gore actually won Florida, but that changed nothing....

[OAITW r.2.0]

30. I would prefer that the results were gamed then believe a majority wanted this criminal as President.

[regnaD kciN]

38. I wouldn't...

...because him winning "honestly" means that the electorate might eventually come to its senses and start electing decent people again. If the results were gamed, that means we can look forward to Trump and his minions "winning" every national election forever.

[SunSeeker]

42. The majority voted for someone other than Trump.

Trump only got 49.8% of the vote. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-elections/president-results

[Tarzanrock]

39. See, the biblical writings in the New Testament of ...

Matthew, Mark and Luke where the crowd selected the criminal Barabbas over Jesus.

[Captain Zero]

46. And Barrabbas was a tax cheat, I think.

Or a petty criminal, both just like chump.

[SunSeeker]

41. I'm in Southern CA and saw a MAGAt flying a "Trump Won" flag off his pickup today.

We have 6 million crazed Republicans in CA. Thank God they're outnumbered by Democrats.

[Mike 03]

43. No. In fact, like others reported, although this is a dripping

red area even prior to the election there were few signs. And the few signs there were disappeared so quickly this time--some Trump signs were taken down around the time of that Madison Square Garden rally prior to even the election. It's been like a ghost town since election day. (Some of that right now is due to cold weather, but even in November when it was sunny and warm there was just no activity to be seen on the streets.)

[OAITW r.2.0]

49. I wonder why that is? Shouldn't they be celebrating their win against the Libs?

I think they won in vote only. Now they will get skinned, just like the rest of us.

[intheflow]

44. I live in a Trumpy part of a blue state.

I still see businesses flying Trump flags (I always go on Yelp to give a Nazi-callout review), but all the private Trump signs and flags are gone afaict. I can’t tell if it’s chilling (supporters have gone back underground) or hopeful (supporters are waking up).

[Arazi]

47. Same but they're still flying his flags and have yard signs out

Nobody’s taken anything down at all in my area

[EX500rider]

48. Roseanne Barr seems happy enough to RAP about it......lol
