Got my yard signs up

I took one of each offered

I was happy to see a Harris/ Walz sign down the street. Several houses have traitor signs up, more on the street behind me.

I have had Kerry, Obama, Clinton and Biden signs disappear from my yard within days of displaying them.

I don't expect Arkansas to go blue, but I'm seeing about the same number of Harris/Walz signs as Trump/Vance signs. If nothing else, that might mean a lack of enthusiasm for Trump this time. Maybe some MAGAts will stay home and not vote.

If the signs I got from the Dem hq do disappear, the neighbors won't like what I make up myself

I have a bunch of the wire frames from previous elections and some foamboard. My signs would not be cute! lol

But I am positive that they buoy up the spirits of Democratic voters who live in deep red areas.
I've had people go out of their way to let me know how much they appreciated my yard signs.
Of course, I've also had people scream the 'F' word at me as they drove by!
As a famous man once said, nearly every episode, -- 'It's a blessing .... and a curse".
