I’m from the US, and I only left a few years ago, but I can’t really recognize it anymore.
I used to work at the headquarters of a fortune 200 company (one of the largest 200 companies in the US, for reference, Adobe is #201), which is probably the most conservative environment I’ve ever been in (though it was still in New England, so take that with a grain of salt). Sometimes I think about my former coworkers and try to imagine them as trump supporters, which is difficult to do. I have no issue picturing them as diehard Kamala supporters, and I can imagine them being totally unmoved by the genocide in Palestine, but one of three things must be true: society is so stratified that I just don’t know many trump supporters; people have significantly changed since 2021; or they were hiding.
