I like to measure the political barometer by the supplemental flags (to accompany the US flag) that are hung during the 4th of July at and on the way to the lake because it's deep red territory. 2019 was Trump and Gadsden flags. 2020 was Trump 2020 election flags - tons of them. 2021 was Blue Lives matter flags replacing some of the Trump 2020 flags, but the Trump flags were still very common. The volume of political flags was down in 2021. This year - only a single Let's Go Brandon flag on a boat and that dude in overalls who always hangs a confederate flag in the window of his condemned single-wide. Now it's either no supplemental flag or a flag from the alma mater. This is only anecdotal, but it gives me hope that people's support of the GOP circus is tiring.
