There has been an odd change in my area... this election cycle seems quite 'empty' in regards to yard signage... but as you go further out towards teh rural areas the signs become more common... and at least on my part, mostly support Trump...
The Amish, as I understand it, responded negatively to measures regarding what they refer to as 'stepping on our toes" about new 'organic' farm restrictions... it's not surprising they would expect another Democrat government to be 'more of the same.' Hence, Trump support. But I would have expected them not to vote at all... given their social isolation and aversion to worldly tech.
That whole business seems to tell a tale of the futility of running on a "Trump is bad" campaign instead of a "We are good" campaign... In the end the Republican ticket might achieve a win... simply because the Democrat didn't focus on winning... they focused on the "other side" losing. Just my hypothesis...
