Shy voters may very well determine a decisive win instead of a close race—which, as We the People well know, all the trollsters have been erroneously passing out in abundance.
This from libertynation.com.
It’s a tie, they claim, or it’s within the margin of error, or it’s zero point something. However, trollsters aside, if the shy Trump voter is real (and many reasons suggest it is), President Trump will be reelected in a landslide despite the many ways the Left is trying to cheat.
Historically voting booths were behind a curtain. There is a reason for that. Voting in America is a private affair. The act is really no one else’s business. Many of us can recall growing up in a home where politics was not discussed, yet our parents always voted. Likewise, the candidate and issues of choice were not discussed.
The original author of this article noted:
Only much later would I learn [my parents] canceled out each other’s vote every year. Coming from a family with a small business, my father voted Republican; my mother, whose father was a Pittsburgh steelworker, voted Democratic. Still, this was never spoken of, as best as I can remember.
The long history of voting privacy still prevails today, but not until 2016, when shy Trump voters burst onto the scene, was it seriously discussed. However, there are three reasons why the shy-voter effect will likely shape the 2024 election.
These days, a plethora of trollsters out there are dying to get information about how We the People will vote. Yet there is no rule saying you must answer their phone calls or texts, and many of us choose to ignore them. Some of us may even throw trollsters off the scent by answering falsely, but more often, shy voters will decide not to partake in the survey efforts that come our way. Why would that be?
The toxic nature of the presidential campaigns has made many of us reticent to stand up and state our preferences. For example, name-calling—such as irredeemable, deplorable, and most recently “garbage”—has been hurled at Trump voters.
Maybe that makes them all the more determined to show up and vote—but damned if they are going to tell anyone. And who could blame them? Voting is their right, no matter what nasty vitriol is spewed their way. So their vote becomes a defiant statement, as is their privilege.
Another seemingly insignificant indication that there are more shy voters than we may have previously considered is the lack of lawn signs in use this year. Oh sure, there are campaign signs out and about but many people are reluctant to put them out. And too there are those people who put up signs and/or hang Trump flags in their garages.
Many political strategists [believe] lawn signs have long been a precursor to the victor: the man or woman with the most lawn signs wins. Simple but true.
Lawn sign vandalism is another concern as is vandalism to property as a result of the campaign sign one has placed in their yard.
My neighborhood is overwhelmingly pro Trump with several signs displayed, many signs and flags in garages, and one particular neighbor who will not put a sign in his yard although he was eager for me to put out a Trump sign and he always places campaign signs at the entrance to our hood.
According to an article in The Philadelphia Inquirer:
Political lawn signs have become a flash point in the Philadelphia suburbs, with both Republican and [communist/globalist] organizers reporting upticks in theft and vandalism even as some communities in other swing states move away from signs altogether to avoid disputes.
In the battleground state of Michigan, the Associated Press interviewed 37-year-old Nick Hannawa about opting out of displaying a lawn sign this year:
Some people love Donald Trump. Some people hate Donald Trump. I voted for Donald Trump. I’m going to vote for Donald Trump again. If I put that sign in my yard again, is it really going to make a difference or is someone not going to like me?
Meanwhile, a Liberty Nation News reader mentioned the fact that there were so few signs this year in her neighborhood that when she ran across one Trump sign, she said to herself, “Boy, those people must have a lot of guts.”
For the sake of peace or not wanting to offend one’s neighbor, lawn signs are getting the heave-ho in 2024.
There is precedent for the shy voter, based on the 2016 election results. Axios reported in September:
61% of Americans admit to ‘self-silencing’—keeping their true opinions on sensitive topics to themselves.
If this number pans out, it would mean a massive amount of shy voters are out there. Seemingly, the shy Trump voter is alive and well and ready to exercise his or her franchise.
God speed to the shy Trump voters and to the Take Back of our Constitutional Republic.
