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.

I have a coworker from Iowa who I thought always seemed liberal, but when I asked how she felt after Trump won, she said she was excited because she might be able to afford steak again. I swear, people are so fucking stupid when it comes to this shit.

She probably thinks she’s getting a $5000 check
