In your anecdotal experience, do you see more or less trump supporters now?

[Blue Skies]

Yes his supporters have dug in and doubled/tripled down. But, are there less of them?

In my experience I see way less support for him. It's just that the ones that still support him have gotten louder


Happy thanksgiving. Don't forget to talk politics at the table. It's your duty.

I saw a neckbeard/white male in downtown Seattle of all places with a MAGA hat/shirt. I was actually surprised since it's Seattle, but I had to do a double take (red colored hats are forever ruined for me). This was like a month or so ago.

 

[Z-Beat]

I don't think I've ever seen a lot but the ones I do see tend to start a lot of shit so it looks like there are more than there are

Or at least there are more of the ones you think of when you hear 'Trump supporter' than there are

 

[xxracerxx]

I live in a liberal bubble, barely see any MAGA hats outside of proud boy demonstrations.

 

[Mesoian]

Same amount.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

I know the exact same. Don't know anyone who converted to or turned away.

 

[shnurgleton]

I moved from wisconsin to boston after the election, so fewer

 

[Rocketz]

My white trash side of the family doesn't share stuff about him on FB really anymore. I'm sure that will change in the election year.

But they all will vote for him in the next election even though his actions are literally hurting the place they live. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/18/us/willard-ohio-migrant-workers.html

 

[Blue Skies]

Added "same"
My bad

 

[Freakzilla]

Theres a hardware store next door to me that has a trump 2020 banner and he walks around with a maga shirt.
But other than that you rarely see it aside from the rare Trump 2020 flag or w.e.

 

[GamerJM]

Less, but I get the impression the actual amount is just mostly the same. People are just less interested in expressing Trump support after he's been president for three years.

 

[Torpedo Vegas]

I still see the red hats, but people have zipped up here at work, I don't here any of the talk I heard his first year.

 

[TaySan]

I saw a pickup truck with a huge punisher skull flag, blue Lives matter flag and a Confederate flag sticker at my Walmart. I'm assuming it's from an employee because I always see it there.

My neighborhood has a lot of cops in it so tons of blue Lives matter flags, but nothing specifically Trump related.

 

[lurksalot]

My wife and I recently drove thru rural Michigan and Indiana and remarked about not seeing a single Trump yard sign or bumper sticker anywhere on our round trip.

 

[BDS]

 

[Prolepro]

Same but that was never much to begin with.

 

[kittens]

I live in a pretty progressive city, obvious MAGA types have always been rare. There have been more white supremacist rallies, but those are often organized by people who don't even live here. Hate crimes have been on the rise I think, but I'm not totally sure.

If anything, the hatred of Trump and his ilk has motivated people who oppose him to be more active and visible. I know several trans people (including me) who are more determined than ever to be our true selves in public because we know it's a (partial) antidote to MAGA terrorism. BIPOC organizing also seems to be gaining new energy and momentum, too.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Work with 3 people who are Trump supporters, we get along for the most part. Two of them voted for him and the other was a younger guy who didn't vote but said he would have voted for Trump. It came up one day I just said they voted for a crook and a con man. We don't talk politics much.

 

[NCR Ranger]

About the same, but I live in a red state where many people consider him the greatest thing since sliced bread, so it would need a massive drop in support amongst Republicans for me to actually notice a difference.

 

[Jencks]

I live in a solid red state and it's basically the same amount. It's not rare to see several Trump bumper stickers when I go out somewhere.

 

[NeverWas]

I know in my office, the 3 vocal Trump supporters are now down to 1, with the other 2 regretting ever voting for him. Small pool, I know, but I don't get out much.

 

[Hilbert]

I live in Washington State outside of Seattle. I have only ever met one outspoken Trump supporter.

 

[Sectorseven]

Same amount

 

[Horns]

The people I know who proudly supported him suddenly don't want to talk about politics. I see very few people openly supporting him.

 

[Mortemis]

Same, as in barely none. I'll see the occasional trump sticker every few months, that's mostly it.

I saw a neckbeard/white male in downtown Seattle of all places with a MAGA hat/shirt. I was actually surprised since it's Seattle, but I had to do a double take (red colored hats are forever ruined for me). This was like a month or so ago.

I saw a kid walking around with a shit eating grin and a MAGA hat a few months back in Seattle. Haven't seen one since.

It's nice living in a place where most people are at least smart enough not to support a bumbling racist idiot.

 

[Mr. Keith]

I see about the same. They're the double down on supporting Trump types though so I don't think they're growing in numbers.

 

[Baji Boxer]

Not sure. Those I work with stopped saying stuff around me. They generally talk very differently when it's only older white people in the room, but that's mostly stopped around me after I said a few things.

Edit: I haven't seen as many wearing overt Trump gear.

 

[Mulciber]

About the same, but where I live is predominantly black, so that "same" is almost nothing. I have seen one MAGA shirt or hat in the past three years.

I know for a fact we have racist, right-wing white people here. I just don't don't think they walk around advertising it.

 

[Enduin]

As I take my dog on long walks around our neighborhood every night I still see one or so houses per block with a Trump 2020 flag up where their 2016 were before that since his election. It's pathetic.

 

[luther manhole]

i see em about the same. mostly in traffic, there is always some huge lifted truck with trump garbage all over it.

edit: also, some of the shitty trumpers in my office are now just full on q-anon people which is.... honestly frightening.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

I feel like more conservative types are more vocal then ever but the ones I know at least acknowledge that Trump is a moron.

 

[pillowtalk]

Some of these people don't have to like trump to keep voting republican.

 

[FenninRo]

I feel like I see more people expressing some manner of acceptance or understanding for Trump in the last year or so (particularly after the Mueller stuff sputtered out). Not MAGA hat wearers by any means, but people who would previously say getting him out of office is the top priority and imperative to the continued existence of our republic, only to now not really care all that much.

 

[Jehuty]

West of Milwaukee, WI is literal Republican land. Having visited some friends who live out there, I can say that there are less of them. Its kinda weird. Its almost like people in the burbs are embarrassed to be associated with Trump. It means very little since they will end of voting for him anyways. I will say this, Evers beat Walker for governor here last year. Evers is about as bland as a politician can get. People in the state were just fed up with Walker. If the same happens with Trump, then he will lose Wisconsin. If trump loses Wisconsin, no way he wins Michigan or Pennsylvania.

This makes me believe the whole "we need to run a moderate" argument.

 

[ReAxion]

the same, perhaps slightly fewer. i have not see the street corner group in a few months. their numbers got smaller but they also chose seemingly random times to be there - like nothing was going on politically for them to be out about.

 

[Doomsayer]

From 2015-early 2019 I saw about 6 MAGA people (hats or whatever) total.

Since about March I've seen 14 hats/shirts/idiots in the wild.

 

[Bigwombat]

Less but in Massachusetts there weren't a ton to begin with. Only one regular customer still has a trump/ lock her up bumper sticker and she is a fucking bitch to start with.

 

[GungHo]

The MAGAs didn't invade from MAGAland over night, even if it felt like it. MAGAman just gave the MAGAs a slogan. They've always been ready to MAGA. They will MAGA long after MAGAman chokes on his last MAGAfry.

There was a small Trump march (10-15 people) outside my Capital Hill apartment a few months ago. Shit was weird

 

[deimosmasque]

I work in retail so I see them all the time. They are however a lot less loud and proud about it lately.

Instead of talking about Trump they are back to generic conservative talking points.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Most of the maga ppl I saw were just looking for attention

 

[Aurongel]

I'm sure they still exist en masse but I've definitely seen a notable decrease in the number of them sporting pro-Trump apparel. I imagine this will change once we're in election season again.

 

[Link]

I definitely see way fewer Trump bumper stickers these days, but that might just be because of how long ago the election was.

For what it's worth, I'm in Florida, but South Florida. We're about as blue as NYC down here.

 

[The Artisan]

If I go to the gym and see people watching Fox news then I feel like I still see them.

 

[Sanjuro]

I generally see more. I think some felt like they couldn't express themselves for a while.

 

[Leonadar]

I'm seeing about the same. I live in a red mid-western state.

 

[LosDaddie]

Don't kid yourselves. It's the same amount as before.

I generally see more. I think some felt like they couldn't express themselves for a while.

Trump offered people the one thing no one else would: permission to be the worst version of themselves. Unfortunately, that's quite appealing to a not-insignificant percentage of the population.

 

[Flex1212]

I live in Maryland and I maybe see an occasional car or two but it's rare. We hate Trump in my area.
