I split my time between Florida and Wyoming. I also don’t fly so I drive between them through the “red heart” on the country. I see very little enthusiasm for Trump.

Get in my car and drive 3000 miles through an endless barren wasteland
Not a single Trump supporter to be found

I spent a weekend in NH and saw scores of Trump yard signs all through the suburbs around Manchester. They definitely exist, although they appear to be lining up along the New England Interstate to disguise their numbers.

I was driving through Montana in 2021(?) and saw 50-foot-long "LET'S GO BRANDON" banners at multiple businesses along the highway

I mean, my county goes blue but I see Trump 2024 signs all over it while I'm out cycling. As recently as last Friday.

I wouldn't be surprised if the original premise was true - a lot of less extreme R's probably don't like Trump that much (but most probably will still vote for him), but I also think it would be a mistake to take anything for granted.

That'll going to be up there halfway through Kamala's second term
