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.

But I was assured the democrats needed to reach across the aisle to secure the non-existant “republican with decency” vote?

Clinton in 2016 depressed turnout among the base and independents, Harris ran a base destruction campaign.

I'm in middle of nowhere northern minnesota and I think it was more enthusiastic than ever. I saw huge banners on RVs parked in front yards, trucks driving around blasting that rich men north of Richmond song (multiple occasions) three opportunist moms for liberty dorks running for the school board, Trump hats, and way more Trump signs than I saw in '16 Even family who has always been lib were quoting trump talking points.

Dont forget promising a Bi-Partisan cabinet.
