No, my anecdotes are supported by the fact trump got elected twice. Once you leave either coast, the whole interior of the country is majority far right. Maybe Minnesota is different, that's one state ive never been there myself.

He won via a fraction of the voting population under very suspicious circumstances. That's not a compelling argument.

Okay well then dig into the details, like the anecdote in OP or by talking to people in the US and getting to know them.

I'm from the US. Midwest even. I've talked to WAY more people who didn't vote for Trump than voted for him. How's that for an anecdote?
