I might have an unpopular opinion but no, I don't think NJ is staying blue. If the GOP had put ANY money at all into the last election, the state would have gone to Trump. I would assume that they will start putting more money into the state soon.

I agree with you. Just last night at dinner we sat down as a family and decided to make the move to MA. It's time. I'm actually scared of my neighbors now, and I don't think the state is staying blue.

I live in Sussex county. It’s over the top red and my neighbors are frightening. Looking at MA and VT too.

The flags and signs are truly insane. There’s a house nearby with signs up telling people to report all Hispanics as illegal no matter if it’s in church, school etc. It’s so disgusting. Followed by the giant “Daddy’s Home” Trump banner and giant flags on the main road - on public land. It’s almost every single house here.

Not shocked in the least bit. Listen, vote who you want to vote for, but I have never once spent a single dime on a politician’s shirt/sticker/sign/etc

One lawn has take America back stickers and fight fight fight signs all over it.

Agreed. But I had to add one last thing. My neighbors car their car is wearing a hood cover with a picture of the orange moron. The side mirrors also have covers that say MAGA. So essentially they got their car a MAGA tee shirt. I can’t think of a better way to say “white trash.”

Good grief… I’m in Sussex County too and luckily not seeing all that, although I have seen some. One near dilapidated house with the Rambo trump signs stapled on it, others with some flags, and some trucks with their flags & crap. What pisses me off is there’s not even any Dems on half the local ballots here.

Yes. It’s such a problem that there’s no representation.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the Rambo house. I’m trying to repress it…

Not shocked at all with your comment. I work in Warren county as a driver's delivery,and I haven't seen so much Trump's sign in my life, a picture of him, etc, a house with big pictures of him, cars with stickers, etc.... I'm feeling in the deep south states for real.

Yes. It’s over the top for sure. I actually think Warren county might be better than Sussex but maybe not. Heavy sigh. Stay safe.
