10. There's this large rural property along a busy highway (U.S. 441) in Alachua County, Florida.

The guy who lives and runs a business there had dozens of huge pro-Trump-Vance, "Let's Go Brandon," and other rightwing signs posted all along his fence line. A lot of the stuff dated back to the 2016 campaign. During the 2024 election he even parked a trailer with a large Trump campaign sign along the road in front of his house.

Most people in the area have taken down their Trump paraphernalia over the past year, but this guy was obviously still a diehard MAGA Trumper. Last week I drove past his property and all the Trump signs are gone. Nothing. His business is still there (some kind of welding operation), but the political crap has disappeared.
