I crossed the Mason-Dixon line today, driving north on Route 30 from the Baltimore area into Pennsylvania. I drove through farmland, side streets, developments, etc. Not unexpectedly, there were a healthy smattering of Trump signs/flags, but not as many as you would expect in this rural, pro-Trump area. What was striking, however, were the number of American flags that were out in front of houses. A couple of suburban developments south of Hanover had probably one American flag for every 5 houses, and there was probably a Trump sign/flag one to every 12 houses.
Weirdly, I saw zero Trump bumper stickers in my 2 hour drive through Trump country (I saw zero Biden anything all day). Additionally, there were a smattering of other possibly "shy" Trump supporters, e.g., thin blue line flag, "vote freedom," etc. Bottom line: I thought the Hanover, PA area was celebrating the 4th of July--that's how many flags were out in yards and on houses. Has the American flag replaced Trump signs?

Or in Huntsville?
Huntsville seems to have a lot of really smart educated Libs from elsewhere
I think Huntsville and Oak Ridge and Los Alamos have the highest percentages of post grad citizens in the nation
I don’t know anyone personally who supports Trump who isn’t super enthusiastic
Even soccer mom lilies who think he’s coarse love him for what he’s trying to do
I have 120 or so kin in central Mississippi
Some are super devoted religious
All love Trump

This moderates in the middle just isn’t my experience observing down here except amongst the elite
Vandy grad lawyer types and they still vote Trump
