I recently took a road trip from Minnesota down to Arkansas and back. I've driven the route before, and I'm accustomed to seeing a fair number of Trump signs along the highway.
This time, on the way down, I saw only one Trump sign - faded, forlorn, and neglected. On the return trip, I again saw only one Trump sign, but this one was different. It was new, large, and well-made, and read:
I VOTED FOR TRUMP.
I MADE A MISTAKE.
I'M SORRY.

But they're not happy with inflation through the roof, a foreign quagmire, and associated sky high gas prices that aren't coming down much any time soon. They don't necessarily need to vote Dem, they just need to sit this one out.
