My money is on it not being a bit. In the last 2-3 months, I've noticed a trend of Trump supporters making really overt displays of their love for Trump. In a state that Biden will win. One guy here has created a whole persona around his "Trump Truck". They just wanna be seen and signal to the world that they are a "Trump person" IMO. They love identifying with him, like how when I was a skinny unathletic kid in jr high I loved wearing Nike everything and basically pretending I actually was athletic.
Also, there's a certain type of Trump supporter that Jacob here might be. The young white guy who kinda sorta pretends to be a ironic with like American flag shorts and 'Murica and really overdoing it on the 4th July. They do it a little ironically except when you press them they really do think Trump is good and the US is the best country ever. Especially popular in places like Ohio and Illinois.
Farmers and weirdo suburbanites around here are buying like hundreds of dollars of (fucking hideous btw) Trump merch and flags to plaster on their barns and trucks.
Huge fucking billboards in fields, either hand painted or printed. Saw one guy who had like a 4' x 8' printed itemized list of how Biden and Harris will kill babies and bring Socialism to the USA.
Well, Trump was tweeting and calling into Fox News going back to 2012 or whatever, but I get your point... they probably didn't have an opinion of him one way or another because he really was only known for "The Apprentice", really. Maybe if they were a little more familiar with him they probably just figured he was some New York dandy.
Funny enough, I've been familiar with him going back to the early 2000s. I usually pointed to his show as to an example of why "business" is bullshit. Generally saw him as a despicable person and it has bought me a little bit of cred in my social circle when I talk about him being an awful human being, since they know I've been ripping on the guy for like 15 years.
