Unless the Dems miraculously produce a candidate who isn't bat **** insane before the election, I'm voting for Trump, although I wouldn't characterize myself as a "Trump supporter". However, even I were a full-blown Trump nutswinger, I wouldn't display any signs that I support him. TDS afflicted leftists have proven repeatedly that it's OK to respond to such displays with violence, and I'm too damn old to fight off a bunch of outraged soy boys/girls.

I don't own a MAGA hat.

I put out yard signs since I live in a more rural area, where they won't be touched. Bumper stickers of any kind are a no-no. I don't like the cluttered-up look, and they're a PITA to get off the glass.

I don’t support either of them, so…no.

I don’t put up any signs or stickers of any political flavour anyway. My brand of politics manages to tick off both righties and lefties, and I’m just asking for vandalism because people are stupid enough to get personally insulted by politics.

I have never been one to air out my political views in public. Never displayed a campaign sign, hat, etc. and don’t plan on ever doing so.

The only flag I fly is American Flag. If somebody has a problem with that, come and try to take it.

They are far more likely to be a victim of vandalism and/or violence than someone with a Biden flag or bumper sticker. That is a cold hard fact, so just zip it lefties.
The news reports of Trump supporters being targeted far outweigh that of a democrat and everyone knows that.
Yeah, while I didn’t think of this as a reason, you reminded me that a neighbor on my street had a Trump 2020 yard sign that was continuously vandalized. I live in a “blue” part of Colorado and his sign was the only Trump sign I knew of in the immediate area, but it’s sad that people just couldn't leave it alone. I can’t stand Joe Biden, but it’s not like I’d go to my next door neighbor’s house and tear down her Biden/Harris sign.

Neither. I don't have any political posters or t-shirts.

^^^^This

I live in an area that used to be red but due to exponential growth among other things, has turned blue. That said, we see "Biden" stickers on cars, "Hate has no home here" placards, and during the last gubernatorial election, someone in our building had a sign in their window pleading with others to keep the state "blue". ETA: Also lots of "coexist" bumper stickers on expensive vehicles---owned by people who don't "coexist" in their neighborhoods.

In an environment like that, we lay low. Sure, we have found other like-minded people and we've had conversations but...we always talk softly.

Agree. I don’t wish to be assaulted, gave my car keyed or my house damaged. TDS runs deep in the left and they are a violent bunch.
