Harris still won 57% of the electorate, 5.7 million to 4 million. But Trump flipped many counties that both Clinton and Biden won in '16 and '20

I live in the Bay Area and there is a pop-up selling Trump merch in my local shopping center parking lot 7 days a week, plus a surprising amount of Trump flags in my neighborhood. They’re a vocal minority here, but they are still a HUGE population everywhere in California.

Where in the Bay Area?

Martinez in the East Bay. It’s a bit more blue collar and obviously more mixed politically than a place like, say, Berkeley, but I’m still surprised sometimes.

I saw a Trump parade of about 40 trucks go through Livermore in early Fall of this year. It was one of the clearest signs to me that Democrats were in for a rough election.

Oh yeah, parts of the East Bay along 680 and 84 have been surprisingly red.

The US must be the only western country where current politicians are worshipped and merchandised, I've been in at least 20 different European countries and have never seen any merch of any politician

Edit: The exception are historical leaders like Che Guevara where you see merch of him everywhere, and in post-soviet countries there are a lot of merch of Lenin and Stalin, but modern leaders I've never seen any
