yeah people act like it's 100% the cult but there are soft trump supporters who actually don't like that he's a criminal scumbag and because our system is stupid it doesn't take all that many of those to stay home to swing it
i live in a rural area with a lot of white retirees (aka prime bad people demographic). zero trump signs this time around. there were a LOT in 2020. and a lot of those stayed up a while.
one could assume a not insignificant percent fell prey to maga media, and made poor decisions regarding covid and aren't there anymore or came through the gauntlet somewhat wizened.
