A Walk in my Neighborhood

I went out for a walk in my neighborhood and I noticed something interesting. There were very few political yard signs up, but those few that were present were uniformly supporting Biden.

Curious.

My neighborhood is usually very politically active, and a very conservative place too. I would say 90% conservative.

So what’s up with the Biden yard signs? Does this mean my neighborhood is tired of Trump and is going to pull that Big Democratic lever on November 3, 2020?

I don’t think so.

Conservative Trump supporters are refraining from posting their usual conservative yard signs because they are afraid. Unlike my Democrat neighbors who can express their political beliefs without fear of being attacked, my conservative neighbors are afraid that someone will vandalize their property, or worse assault and kill them and their family. Or perhaps simply vilifying them at work or in social settings because of their conservative political opinions?

Biden supporters have no fear of any conservative backlash against them… at least not personally for posting political yard signs supporting Biden. They are safe and secure with their Biden signs proclaiming their political beliefs even though they reside within an ocean of conservative neighbors. They are confident that no one will attack…
