 A friend visiting in-laws texted from The Villages today. For those who don't know, The Villages is a retirement mecca in Florida and is one of the country's biggest Republican strongholds. For years the lawns and golf carts were decorated in Nouveau Maga. I'm sure it's still solidly red, but the enthusiasm for advertising one's Trump support seems to be waning. 

Perhaps the spell is breaking and fewer people are making MAGA a load-bearing part of their identity
