28. I was in SE Ohio (Hocking Hills) last weekend

Oct 2020

I live in SE Michigan.

I saw tons of Trump signs, flags, banners, etc. Honestly? The sheer number of pieces of paraphernalia on each (widely spaced) piece of land made it appear that there are more Trump supporting people than there actually are. I was also impressed by (and my heart went out to) the brave souls who put Biden/Harris signs out there. After last weekend I am more convinced than ever that Trumpism is just another way of saying white supremacy.

And to flip what you said, I found myself wondering who, among those with no signs on display at all, is going to quietly press the lever for Biden.

Trump is not adding new voters, at least not in overwhelming numbers. The sheer numbers of people who have already voted tells me that Trump weariness has set in and the people are DONE.

With all that said, I am prepared for another 4 years of Trump. It's horrible to contemplate but I can't allow myself to hope.
