Cool idea—Blue Dot signs in red areas

I like this - so easy to just put a blue dot in your window if you didn’t want to make a yard sign.

I find this very interesting. In the Seattle area, it’s the exact opposite. I have a few long time friends who are on the red side and they have told me that feel like they can’t share their true political opinions for fear of retaliation.

I saw this. It is more about voting for what is right more than red or blue (it just helps that it is blue). I thought about putting up a sign but I live on a cul-de-sac and everyone in my area is solid blue so it doesn't really make any difference. We had a canvasser show up and ask if we were interested in voting for Hogan and my dh told him no and the guy just politely left. We actually really like Larry Hogan. He was a great governor but unfortunately he is republican and despite his extreme hatred of TFG, we just cannot afford to lose another seat.

It's a great way for others to see they are not alone, and hopefully that will inspire them to go vote even if there was a voice in their head questioning if their vote mattered due to where they live.

I have 2 pairs of Chucks and pearls given to me by my grandparents. I wear my pearls every day and my Chucks most every day. I do sneak in my birks on some days. I figure some people will see those and get it. Others will just see me in another outfit of the day. It makes me feel good to know what I am wearing and who/what I am supporting. I also have a Chucks and Pearls coffee cup. I did use it in my office the first couple of days after I got it. I decided to take it home and bother my DH more by using it there. I work in a church, of all places for me to be, and my family will be voting with the Rs. Except my DD and ODS. My mother has drunk the Kool-aid that Fox pours and try as I might, I can't get her to see any differently. My DD is hoping abortion comes up when she is around. She has no qualms arguing with her Mimi about a woman's right to health care. My niece is gay(or we are pretty positive with all her IG postings that she is) but she is waiting until my mom passes before actually making it official. Not the right word but you understand. I told my DD over the weekend that I wish she would say something to my mother. She needs some sense knocked into her head. That the way she votes DOES affect our family. 

The video that is referenced has been making the rounds on TT. So many are stitching it and asking why we are living in a time where we have to be afraid to show support, have an opinion, etc. When the other side just overdoses on their clothing, signs, flags, etc and heaven forbid anyone should give them the side eye. So many men are coming out and defending the woman and wondering how other men are just so ugly. It is nice to see the support she is getting. 

It is also good in this FB group I am in, that I am seeing more people bravely wearing their shirts and not getting any kickback. Even a few supportive smiles and heads up!

It's an absolute shame that people can't openly express their political leaning no matter if you are blue or red. Retaliation is real! Heck, to be honest, it's the same on this board as well.

I will say the morning after it was announced that Harris would be the candidate, I did put a picture of my feet in Chucks, with my pearls draped across them and me wearing a blue striped dress on FB. I figure that was subtle enough without being obnoxiously in your face on who I was supporting. And if I am to believe my DD and ODS, from what I have posted on FB, it's pretty obvious who I support. I do not call people names, I do not post memes. I do post facts as known, I do call out the idiocy of different situations. Like right now it is all I can do to not post "sorrows...prayers" in reference to yesterday's event. Mine would be in sarcasm as I know dang well thoughts and prayers aren't going to do jack crap. Man, my southern is coming out. I need to drink more coffee and get to work.

I saw this company selling stickers and thought it was a cute idea:

Chuck insoles come out easily to be replaced with an insole of your choice. I actually fine them fairly comfortable without replacing. My daughter both have orthotics and Chuck’s are their favorites as it’s easy to change the insoles and their orthotics easily fit.

So far I've only gotten compliments. In mostly red Indiana. But it does suck that I have to consider where I wear it, while MAGA crap is everywhere. I wear chucks every day now. Its become my thing...I love finding new colors on Poshmark or in thrift stores. And pearls usually. But that's most days anyway. It's fun feeling a part of things. 

I went to my resource room at the office and found a blue dot sticker. Too much effort to pull out my Silhouette to make a small blue dot. ☺️

Same. Soooooo many!

Agreed. Any other year, we'd have been glad to give him a vote.
