I live in Michigan. On my street, we have Biden signs, Black Lives Matter signs and some other stuff.

We have former military here, as well as some National Guard and a couple deployed military members too.

Despite that though, our community seems okay. Not exactly necessarily liking each other much, but you know.

Fortunately we have kids on the street, which can mellow people out and make them protective of their community even if there are political disagreements.

Have not seen a Trump sign anywhere though. Not once. People were having them stolen around here or don't want to deal with the drama of confrontation.

Personally I've never bought into the signs thing. I always felt it was weird when people had to announce their support in that way, like they wanted to earn points.

At least with Trump, the swag exists in other forms and has a truly patriotic message.

Best I can figure is it's a tribal thing in certain cases. In others, like the teachers union it really is about self interest (kill the charter schools), up the pay, benefits, etc etc.
