9. What stood out for me from your story...

is when you said he visited rural areas during his campaign. I have often asked why trump was going to all these small, sparsely populated rural towns on his campaign trail. After all, he knows he has those people's votes (mostly all white, mostly not college educated). He is following Hitler's playbook.

Yesterday I took a drive out to the rural area for my fall pumpkins, etc. Up until yesterday I had seen very few trump signs if any. The trip was about ten miles. The farther I got away from my town I started to see trump signs everywhere. By the time I got home the rest of my day was very unsettled. This is Michigan and for the first time I had this feeling that Michigan may not be a lock for Kamala.

I still think that a vast number of people do not believe that he would ever do the things he says such as be a "dictator on day 1". They still think "oh, that's just trump being trump." That's what scares me the most. There's a lot of them out there.
