“Secret Trump voters” are outing themselves in the wake of President Trump’s victory. This refers to people who were sheepish to admit that they would vote for Trump are feeling emboldened to do so now.
And it’s a good thing too! In the run-up to the election, Democrats were threatening to out people who voted for Trump and…I don’t know what, harass and shame them? It’s best to out yourself than be hunted down and shamed, right?
Now MAGA hats are less taboo, as are MAHA hats and Axios reports that more Trump lawn signs went up AFTER the election than were up before. Plus, NFL players are doing the Trump dance in the end zone.
A pollster and strategist said this to Axios: “All of these undercover Trump people are out. People that would have hidden a week or so ago aren’t hiding anymore.”
Glass half-empty take: How sad that people felt that their fragile relationships could be tanked because of their politics.
Glass half-full take: Maybe the cancel culture is really over.
