I split my time between Florida and Wyoming. I also don't fly so I drive between them through the "red heart" on the country. I see very little enthusiasm for Trump. Sure, I hear a lot of grumbling, and I am sure the Republicans will go out and vote en masse, but not because they love what Trump is selling. They just don't want to lose.

No fucking way they rise up for a civil war.

From Midwestlandia, here is what I have noticed.

The enthusiasm for Trump is really starting to deflate. Reality has set in he is an old coward bitch, and he isn’t worth voting for. (Not that I am going to vote for a n*****! - heard that one plenty as well)

However, the rabid supporters of him want a civil war. This is Ruby Ridge level insanity of them wanting to drive into cities and start attacking people. All it takes is a few of them to go to Democratic areas on Election Day and stir up shit to sway the vote.
