@Lazarou @randahl yeah there are a ton of disaffected people here. I will say the Dems are hated in many parts of the country. but also some of the people there can't stand Trump so they aren't sure where to go instead. about 50% of the population identifies as Independent, and that is largely driven by dramatic *decreases* in people identifying as Republican (bc of Trump).
even though 2020 had record turnout it was still just 67%
