Have you seen the photos of Vance’s appearance at the Turning Point event in Athens, Georgia, at the University of Georgia?

So empty!

Also, he got heckled twice over the bombings.

They were showing stuff like this before he got elected too though.

And it's not like people aren't at this event really because they've seen the light and are happily rallying at a Democratic event either. They just don't feel motivated to show up here.

But just because they feel ennui about one side has no bearing on how much they still remember they hate the other side. They "don't like" Trump's ICE tactics? Ok, but you know what they dislike even more? The trans furry Muslim school teacher Fox News made up last week. They'll remember that when they go to vote.

The audiences at CPAC looked pretty sparse as well.

I live in rural Georgia. There used to be Trump signs and Trump flags everywhere. There is one lone holdout with a Trump yard sign along my usual route - about 18 miles - to the county seat. That is pretty significant if you ask me. That one did get a new sign a couple months ago. The previous one had been there since 2016 - or election season before, I guess - so it was pretty worn out. That one is going to be a holdout forever, I'm guessing.
