It was obvious in Trump country that enthusiasm had waned. Nobody here seemed to care. Or maybe they couldn’t afford all the flags and hats and other Trump merch this time.
It was also obvious that the Democrats were going to lose votes. 15 million is a downright Clintonian achievement, though.
It’s so strange that Dick Cheney’s endorsement didn’t drive Democrats to the polls.
Trumpers were absolutely less frothing this time around. I remember seeing all sorts of fucked up shit in rural areas in 2016 & 2020. I'm talking a literal Trump shrine, a stuffed Obama lynching, Trump signs with light displays, giant pictures of Trump's face, and TRUMP painted in massive letters on the side of barns. Nothing like that this time, outside of big signs.
Idk anyone under 35 who admitted to wanting to vote for Harris. Some probably did, but at best a majority of them were on the fence about whether to vote for her or a 3rd party.
I lived in a very Asian and liberal part of the LA metro area in 2020, and Trumpers had truck parades through here open carrying their guns, blowing their horns, complete with “fuck your feelings” flags.
