    This is what I don’t get. There is so much less trump enthusiasm in Michigan than in 2020. It’s all fucking anecdotal, so go with the data over my observations, but I just can’t see any sign that Trump is a force here.

    I’ve seen like 2 Trump bumper stickers and not a single yard sign (I’ll give you the place that literally has his name painted on their garage), which is fucking insane when 3-4 years ago you couldn’t get in your car without seeing at least one yard sign or bumper sticker.

    Four years ago, my wife got so much shit for being the only liberal in an office of good ol’ boys. Now, absolutely nothing. I cannot comprehend that the polling reflects none of this.

      They’ve learned it leads to social isolation. I know a lot of young men learned they can’t get laid if they’re vocal about Trump. I’m not saying these people learned empathy they just learned to put the mask back on.
