OMG! OMG! OMG!

The house with the huge Trump banner saying "Daddy's Home!" has taken it down!

This is big.
I think the flags are down as well - will check when I pass by again.
Do you think it was the Pope's funeral that put this guy over the top for these Magats?

I thought you meant the House, as in Congress, had a big flag of “Daddy’s Home”. I fully believe Moses Mike would demand that happen.

The house across from my mom's took down two or three Trump signs and flags around the time he did his Tariff Press Conference. She believes it is significant because they had Trump stuff up during most of the Biden presidency so for them it's an obsession.

lately. It looked faded; it was a van bumper. Other than that one I don't see any more.
And they were everywhere last term... bumpers, yard signs, post signs, and a few at the beginning of this election period.
Now it is clean.

Is this what these dumb fuckers really want? Maybe they should ask Trump's kids how good a father Trump was to them.

They think they are being tough and intimidating and manly.

They actually are being abusive and exposing themselves as fake men: all rippling muscles but so muscle bound they can hardly move.

T{f}ucker Carlson said it on one of his podcasts (I think from Moscow) and repeated it on stage at some tRump rally before the election.

They need a cruel male authoritarian figure to tell them what to do and take the work out of thinking for themselves.

The "don't tread on me" people are really meaning "tread on me harder Daddy". RW media hosts like Tucker Carlson have talked about spanking and similar kinky stuff. Conservatives are repressed and weird about such things.

But they already helped burn down the farm, didn’t share any concerns over the animals dying in the fire and only care now because the fire is approaching their home. And the reason they care is they just remember that Trump defunded the fire department in his desire to hurt the city people.

What remains is some that think he's playing 27 dimension chess, some that refuse to leave him just out of stubbornness, and some that will never leave him even if he had Kash Patel come over and mow down their entire family with an AK-47.

Hard to describe the presentation of the neighbors display. Imagine rural Mi with fencing that looks like wooden logs (fort style) around property. I called it fort trumpconderoga. Had about 10 trump crappy flags now only American flag. Not sure if he’s seen the light or getting ready for trump flag refresh.

Or something that finally hit home to them that they backed the wrong idiot and it's more than the black, brown, gay and uppity women that are going to suffer bigly.

Sucks to be them. Dumb bastards.
