Enjoying your articles Matt. Same around UA. I think it’s simple- the left is an ideological movement and the right is not. As you eluded to the modern right is a loose coalition of various backgrounds that recognize and accept reality. Lot of quiet, common sense people that don’t identify with candidates/republican party/etc. to the extent they’ll put a sign in their lawn (also on the off chance they might get a rock thrown through their window), but will vote Trump. The democrats have successfully filled the void for meaning in many people’s lives in our **regrettably** secular society with Liberalism. When that’s the one thing that gives your life meaning of course a sign is going out front.

Same in our Gahanna neighborhood. Almost no Trump signs. But I know many of our neighbors will vote for him.
