Once again the Democrats did the right thing and removed their signs! But the Trumpublicans (I refuse to call the Republicans because the GOP no longer exists) did what the always do…what they want! Let’s see what happens tomorrow after the election. The Democrats are usually out retrieving their signs…I have seen Trumpublican signs still up weeks after election! Of course there are the fools who are still flying Trump flags /signs! Which is good…that way I know what businesses to avoid!
So much for save democracy vote Democrat.
