    But that’s the thing, Trump, despite being a terrible person and president, was genuinely pretty popular with his voter base. They will more than likely come out to vote, despite his popularity declining a bit. However, Biden, while being a relatively sane, levelheaded president, is not really popular. His VP isn’t particularly liked (bad pr or not, that is an issue) and a lot of his voter support seems to be, "well, at least he isn’t Trump. " I find that incredibly scary, as it means in my mind that Biden being re-elected isn’t such a slam dunk as a lot of the DNC seems to project.

      All my neighbors, probably 15 or so rural/suburban pensultuky had 2024 flags and all of them are gone since the trial. He really pissed off a chunk of those folks.

      We’ll see how they vote should he be the nomination however.

        This year I spent two weeks driving around rural Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. During those drives I saw a single Trump yard sign, 2 bumper stickers, and not a single red maga hat.

        I think things are quite bad for Trump in visible appearance, but shame disappears in the voting booth, so who knows.
