Current Events > Have you ever driven through any "Trump country"

(+) Yeah! (+)

Any section of the country dominated by MAGA fanatics? Signs all over the place with slogans like "TRUMP WON!" or "TAKE AMERICA BACK". Maga hats everywhere. Shit is wild man.

People online tell me my state is Trump country but honestly outside of a sign here or there I never see much about him. Ive never personally seen someone wearing a maga hat. About the only thing you really see is bumper stickers and Ive always seen those from, yes, both sides.

I'm in a pretty red county right now. Tons of Trump signs up last election, but 99% magically disappeared the moment Biden was declared the winner

"LETS GO BRANDON!"

"Beware of dog, doesnt play well with liberals!"

I live in Trump country but actually it's not that bad. On my way to work I only see one house that's got Trump stuff and boy does it have Trump stuff

Only Red county where Ive spent any significant time is Pinal County in Arizona. Didnt see any MAGA hats or signs. Its still fairly close to Phoenix so theres still a lot of Dem voters.

Only vaguely right wing thing I saw there was ICE border guards eating lunch at BDubs in Casa Grande.

In fact in my entire time in Arizona period the only Trump related thing I saw was a Lets Go Brandon bumper sticker at the Phoenix airport. Didnt even hear anyone mention his name.

This. I lived in Charleston SC for ten years. I'm sure the city is better than the countryside for this but still. Just the occasional bumber sticker etc.

Yeah, i think you probably have to go out into the rural areas to really see the fanatics. Entire communities just absolutely infested with the bullshit

Even in the really rural areas of Arizona out in the desert by Marana I didnt see any Trump crap. I did see one guy open carrying who I would assume is a Trumpet, but that was the closest thing besides the aforementioned bumper sticker.

People there dont seem to like discussing politics, likely due to how Purple AZ has become in recent years.

Ironically the only conversation I had about politics was about Trudeau, not Trump.

My parents live in Indiana, so yes

Sure, I still have family and friends in Southern Illinois, and we drive down there at least once a year, and I've driven a lot through rural Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan, all of which likewise are deep red.

Have you actually been to these places?

I live in a rural place

The part of Texas I'm in is that. There's less of it here in the city, but I still see plenty of Trumpy bumper stickers and there's this idiot that rides around with a "FUCK JOE BIDEN" flag waving from his truck.

But the further you get from the city here, the more Trumpy signs and decorations you see on the gates of farms and ranches.

There is one Trump sign so far in the area. And one car that flies a "Fuck Biden" flag. Yeah not "Let's go Brandon." But the more direct version.

I live in a red state but a blue county.

Sure, but there arent signs everywhere. Theyre mostly plastered across one nut jobs house.

I live with a Trump simp for a grandfather. Never have to drive to see him.

DC Metro area. So, absolutely not.

I've been through the red areas of Washington state. There wasn't really much, a few "Trump" signs on the side of barns, an "I did that" Biden sticker on a gas pump, although the gas prices had fallen low so.. uh... There really was more religious iconography than anything.

Live there, and all the Trumpers seem to think every other white person is a Trumper when they bring up their shit out of nowhere.

My hometown is easily one of the hearts of Trump Country lmao (he won the county by more than +60% in both elections and will probably do so again)

Hell, someone who lives on my road has an actual Trump Country sign in his yard.

My neighbor across the street has flown a confederate flag for decades.

The town up the road was a sundown town until the 60s.

Somehow I escaped both extremely patriotic, pro-government, and left as fuck

I travel a lot, so yea.

I remember driving from Vegas to Joshua Tree and seeing this house, more like a compound, had a trump and confederate flag, surrounded by barbed wire fencing and cameras and various "warnings i will shoot you" kinds of signs and it was out in the middle of fucking nowhere in the desert. Was right around the same area where The Hills Have Eyes was filmed i believe.

Hope the fbi is watching whatever freak lives in that shithole.

Yeah, unfortunately

I havent because I cant drive at all, but I live in a county Trump probably won handily. Seeing pro Trump shit on Facebook now and then is the worst Ive dealt with.

My county, in NW Minnesota, is purple but you'd never know. Only Trumpers put signs and flags up and many never took them down. I see plenty "Trump 2024: Come back, we miss you" signs around these parts. One particular nutcase has Trump flags on every other fence post along the edge of his yard, so there's about 16 unique flags flying year round. See that shit on my way to work every day. The wind wears them down quickly, but he just replaces them with new ones. That's some serious dedication.

Live in Trump country, this dumb town literally had a "Fuck Joe Biden" billboard up coming into town a couple years ago.

There is literally a "This is Trump country" billboard less than a mile from the county courthouse.

I live in a conservative area, so there's definitely some nuts around.

When you bring the granularity down to county level, you'll see that cities are blue and everywhere else is red, regardless of whether it's ina a blue state or a red state. The determining factor is more than anything how many people live in the cities vs the countryside.

I get why you wouldn't want to patronize them at all, but I'd love to prominently display a pride flag and dare them to charge me more.

Except Oklahoma and West Virginia. Only states that are completely red.

My town is pretty keen on Trump. One house had a Trump 2024 flag flying the last few years and earlier this month I saw he'd replaced it with a "JB" flag. I was like "wow, I wonder what the orange fuck did to lose his support" and then I saw the "F" when the flag was clearly visible so the thing said "FJB". Imagine making hating a politician such a large part of your identity lmao

this. I live in Alabama. Before that Tennessee.

There might be 1 or 2 Trump signs in yards around here and maybe a couple bumper stickers. I honestly saw more John McCain stuff in 2008 in yards than 2020 for Trump (or right now).

I've never seen anything like this in my life. And I'm in what most would consider "deep south"

based on the poster I would bet it isn't true. Like I would seriously bet real money.

Yes... Though much more frequently long before it was Trump.

I did cold, door to door, sales when I lived in GA back around 2012-16ish. Been to just about every little, backward, 1-stop sign, town in the state. Many I would never bring a black/non white person to.

I live it. Any time I see a Trump flag or sign driving by I give it the finger.

based on his sig, i wouldnt be shocked if he was an upset trumper lol

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

More likely is he lives in Birmingham, Huntsville etc where Trump doesnt have nearly as much popularity.
