This is making me feel hopeful.

1000% on the vibes. You're so right. When I was driving around the Hudson Valley and Upstate recently, I felt the vibes. Curious to know what the rest of the country's vibes are...

(This was an especially great one, Noah!)

There's a great "Grab Him By the Ballot, Kamala!" sign in my neighborhood...

From your lips to god's ears! I voted early, sent postcards and letters with Vote Forward, and donating every week to Harris/Walz. I'm afraid the vibes are not quite as right in rural FL where I live, but please yes let's not go back!!

That "flush twice" sign is great.

I especially love the homemade signs.

I've noticed one shift in a rural part of Connecticut I frequent; there are many lawns displaying signs for local Republicans but without the Trump signs. I think four and eight years ago, Trump signs were there too. I hope this means something.

Of course there are plenty of Trump signs too, but mostly it's from the people who never took them down.

Even in deep red central Oregon I was picking up the good vibes. Very different from four years ago.

Here’s some more vibes that I’ve been picking up. Texas goes Blue. Ted Cruz loses to Colin Allred.

I mean fuck Nate Silvers’ gut. And FOX News and Musk and Polymarket/Peter Thiel. Motherfuckers, all of them. Don’t even mention Vance and Heritage. Ugh.

Harris in a landslide.

He’s using the same model just with a different word: “gut”

I just got back from a morning in Staten Island and, of course, the place was full of Trump signs Not a single Harris, but that was to be expected. Not to kill the vibes. Nauseously optimistic

This is the endorsement America needed.

Vibes are so real. In 2016 I caught some bad vibes while phone banking with Virginia voters, despite everything seeming rosy in LA. I'm also a Black woman from the South, so I think I had access to some vibes the coastal elites were quite naive to. I was just telling a neighbor that for some reason I'm feeling good because I've been catching positive vibes. For me, the fact that 3.3 million people watched the WNBA finals tells me there are some historically strong vibes when it comes to people who give a shit about women. So I'm hopeful!

This gives me hope. I live in one of the most MAGA counties in rural Northern California. All I see are Trump signs. But I’ve been told that there are significantly less Trump signs than last election, which gives me hope as well.
