For years people have worn buttons and T-shirts and placed yard signs in support of their candidates. I drive throughout Lincoln from Adams Street north, Sixth Street to 84th and all the way home to Hickman and I've seen four signs for Trump, hundreds for Harris.
Lincoln is a blue dot but the 1st Congressional District encompasses so many rural counties Republicans tend to win the district. After running three times as the Republican nominee for president, maybe Trump and his lies, hate, nonsensical gibberish, promising to go after his opponents, especially the news outlets and comedy parody have turned off voters.
Are Nebraska's true conservatives embarrassed to advertise their support for Trump? Unlike national Republicans who have pledged their support for Harris, maybe we will be surprised to see a landslide for Harris.
People tend to blame whoever is president for everything but the House and Senate must agree for laws and policies to pass. Maybe the nation will ultimately realize that hope, kindness, care for the poor and the lost, personal rights for health care choices, a path to citizenship, financial help for first time home buyers, a clean energy plan, preserving Social Security and Medicare, fair wages, sensible gun legislation, and opposition to book bans are all policies that Kamala Harris supports in order to move our country forward not backward.
