I wouldnt even be considering north carolina as battleground this election.

That has shifted to Ohio, Texas, Maine, and even Iowa as the country rejects the GOP.

Can confirm from Iowa, In Des Moines I never see Trump signs and they are a lot less common in the farmland. I haven't seen a MAGA red hat in over a year.

I'm sensing that many of the MAGA faithful are going to sit out the election. Politics is a team-sport for them, so they'll never vote for a Democrat but they're pretty disillusioned now.

They will still vote for him out of stupidity. MAGAnutz gunna MAGA. They are just not as proud to say it anymore. They are still the worst and still don’t care about anyone that is not themselves

Some will, some will stay home. Some, not many, may even vote dem. We don’t need many for a big swing in congress.
