    I would just like to point out that regardless of whether Trump has been charged or convicted of any criminal charges, the guy doesn't conduct himself like the President of the United States.

    He's the most embarrassing and vile President we have ever had, and that's saying something.

    This is our highest office. Our main ambassador and the face of our country. Why the hell anyone would think that this guy is who you would want representing our country is beyond me. He isn't a good person, and I suspect that not only would most of his supporters actually really dislike him if they knew him personally, but I also suspect that he would have nothing to do with them either.

    Racist. Yeah, sure. Dude, the Lone Ranger was my childhood hero. Nobody's taking that from me.

    Growth is difficult. That, I'll acknowledge. And it's clearly not your thing.

    I'm trying to figure out if this is an insult.

    I just hosted relatives from Wilmington, NC this last week--drove to Oceanside (Oregon) for a night, then to Sisters (down Hwy 22! Holy effing eff! So much fire damage!) and Bend for a few, and then back to Portland--and now I'm nervous as fuck about the election!!!

    It could've been the HUNDREDS of TRUMP signs everywhere on my journey, or the flappy 4x4 flags driving around like Mad Max, or just deja vu from the last time we were here, or the guest Southerners, or my parents (also Southerners), but I'm suddenly feeling a lot less optimistic. Perhaps I'm reaching my limit on the number of "unprecedented" things I can handle in a year, I don't know...

    Am I alone in this? Everything just feels so uncertain and so foreboding at this point...

    (Also, @SlyPokerDog is right! This is a JINX THREAD!!!)

    I drive around the foothills and see lots of Trump signs.....it's always been like that in Lane County....the towns are deep blue but the rural areas are pretty red...I think that's true all over the state

    Just so you know, in Tallahassee FL, I am seeing about 80% of signs for Biden.

    I think that holds true through a lot of the country as well.

    No, you're not alone...I think we might wanna accept that there's still a chance that Trump gets re-elected.

    ...IMO, there are likely a lot of "shy" or "closet" Trump fans lurking in the shadows who will wait till Tuesday to vote...I see an early Biden lead that could be erased later in the evening. Hope I'm wrong but I'm trying make myself believe that it's possible just in case it does in fact happen. On the other hand, if Biden wins I can laugh at Trump fans and fuck with them incessantly.

    In Portland proper, where I live, I don't see any Trump signs at all. Like ZERO.

    But this place is an actual bubble when it comes to that stuff. I can't get a good read here. It's like the Portland Effect. From here it looks like a landslide...much like 2016...

    Didn't know you were in Tallahassee...I spent a lot of time on Tennessee Street in my younger days...and spent a lot of money at Barnacle Bills.

    I remember last election well. Was working at Cheese Bar up on Belmont. Once the news came in, we locked the front doors and opened up a bunch of booze and just tried to drink the oblivion away (it didn't work). But yeah, from the feel of things in Portland, it seemed highly improbable.

    Just moved here to live with my girlfriend a couple of months ago. Haven't been to a single bar or restaurant because of covid. I'm sure I'll get a chance to blow some money at some point. Haha. I'm living on Eisenhower St kind of in-between Orange Ave and Pensacola Street, about 2 miles from that dumb football stadium that FSU plays in.

    Last election, the Oceanside, CA harbor was full of nothing but Trump signs on the yachts. This time around, maybe 50/50 with Biden signs. If this is no longer a safe harbor for Trump...

    I guess the stadium is still called Doak Campbell?...aside from football games I also went to a few concerts there. (Jimmy Buffett, ZZ Top, et al.)

    Yeah. That's it. Doak Campbell. Don't care too much, just figured that would give you a decent landmark to where I'm at.
