I was just in south Arkansas for a week (family stuff). It's as red of an area as you can get. I saw a single Trump flag flying on a house, and zero bumper stickers. Living in Colorado (purple/leaning-blue), I saw TONS more Trump flags/stickers/etc 4 years ago. There is no enthusiasm at all.

I think trumpers are louder in blue areas. It gives them the perfect feeling of persecution that they crave. I see the craziest signs in my solid blue state. In fact I just saw someone wearing a trump "fight" tank top.

That's actually a very decent explanation

I think they’re worst near but not in blue areas. I frequently drive between a city and rural Ohio and about 15-30 minutes out of the city you just get bombarded with trump stuff before it dies down a bit further out
