Yard sign indicator anecdote. My short ride takes me through two Main Line eruvim. “We support the Lower Merion Police” signs used to be common. So far tonight I have seen just one. I’ve lost count of the Black Lives Matter signs.
The signs they are a changing.
The signs they are a changing.
Anecdote 2.0, day touring 2 lane roads of (traditionally Republican) SW Chester County. Two, count ‘em 2, Trump signs, all day. (Still 0 signs, but in this area that’s a big ask.) In 2016 there were a lot of trump & maga yard signs in the area.
0 Biden signs. I hate myself.
Oh, hello, @JoeBiden! Nice to see you in Philly’s northern burbs. 100 days.
Saw 0 “We support the XYZ police” yard signs yesterday. Did see A LOT of this, though. The trump move to paint BLM as villains ain’t selling in the rich white burbs that I rode Sunday, not even a little bit.
Optimistic--I would say VERY optimistic--yard sign anecdote from Redstate, Pennsylvania. https://twitter.com/jerseygirl782/status/1294369042619301892?s=20
Serious News people are also studying yard sign anecdota. I feel validated. https://twitter.com/davidmackau/status/1296226155071188992?s=21 https://twitter.com/davidmackau/status/1296226155071188992
Two “yard sign anecdote studies” observations for today:
1. A profusion of little American flags all over a yard is code for “trump/maga” now.
2. What the Hell is this?

Many serious people are sending me 2020 yard sign anecdotes, & I am here to relay & serve in my unscientific capacity. https://twitter.com/AbbyNomNomNom/status/1298264991565398018
From a street in blue-blooded Wynnewood, a gem today for yard sign anecdotes:
In 2016, Phoenixville PA was aggrieved magaland, for sure. In 2020, still a lot of trump signage (and American flag profusions, which, I am telling you, is code for a kag). But I also saw Biden signs there today. And this:
Will take pic next time. Cycled Rose Glen Rd in Gladwyne PA yesterday, where a shack goes for $700k, most houses >$1mm. Suburban housewives live there. It was *littered* with Biden signs + some BLM signs. Not a trump sign in view. trump's "Law & Order" not resonating.
Res ipsa, baby. (Penn Valley says “hi.”)
Willow Grove, PA is still kaggy as all get-out. And one thing about kags: they’re all-in like no political base I have ever known. For passion & pomp they put Berniebros to shame.
South of New Hope, PA. Note the ones on the left. This is traditionally a gop stronghold.
Decent example of “shy” trump voter yard signage. Near Malvern, PA.
Gratefully stolen. https://twitter.com/TeaPartyOne1/status/1303097507229044736
Filing this one under “Probably Pro Biden But Not 100% sure and anyway it’s definitely too soon for Halloween decorations.”
Pausing from bike ride for a moment, to observe about East Falls, Philadelphia (Grace Kelly’s neighborhood): Biden signage EVERYWHERE. If there is a trump voter in this neighborhood, he—must be a he—has to be the definition of the shy trumpie. Survival would require it.
1 observation about trump yardsigners: 1 is rarely enough. This one, across street from Bluestone Country Club in Blue Bell PA, had 5. (Could only fit 3 in frame.)
Biden signs are STOMPING trump signs for wit. Plymouth Pike near Ardmore, PA.
More Biden campaign punny signage (sorry for low res).
Hoping they’ll vote Biden. But you cannot feel too sure. (Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia).
Saved my favorite for last. Kamala Harris stands on the shoulders of giants. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadie_Tanner_Mossell_Alexander
New today. Overbrook, just South of Bala Cynwyd on Bryn Mawr Ave.
Person Man Woman Vote Biden Harris small print reads: https://presidentpendejo.com/
This one is way cool. https://twitter.com/EGelerman/status/1306274379068772352
And this one. https://twitter.com/raywert/status/1306264268581543937
No trump sign, but no question how this one will be voting.
Another funny sign for Biden.
Westchester is in on the sign wit thing too.
Proposed title “Economic Anxiety.”
Springfield, PA. Dying to know who gets this household’s votes.
Some homemade signage near Frazer, PA (I think. Was late in the ride.)
Not sure it means anything but I’m seeing Biden / anti-Trump signage at about 7 to 1 vs trump signage in wealthy Philly suburbs & countryside.

Last one of the night: from a street of > $1 million homes in Haverford. There was nothing like this in 2016.
Phoenixville again, a street that had 2 trump signs a month ago has 0 now. There are still 4 US flagsprays & 1 Don’t Tread On Me flag. But FOUR Biden signs. This feels momentous.
Birdsboro, PA, I should mention, feels kaggier than I can ever remember it. This local business, for example, is economically anxious. (Nearby, but not photographed, is a house w/ trump sign, trump flag, and a confederate battle flag.)
If anyone sees this one in the wild, please post?
One more request for a real-life sighting, please & thank you. (And #chingatumaga.) https://twitter.com/blinxeto/status/1313632653665595392
I am officially calling Morgan county, Indiana for trump.
