LOL.. I actually voted for Trump in 2016 (probably will not again but I did)… I am not a lefty! Just stating my feelings on what would happen if you flew a Trump flag in Westcheter County, NY.. You would probably be killed and the murderer would be forgiven. LOL.. Not saying that there are no Trump fans here, just that they are in hiding.
They are in hiding here in Northeastern NJ too. I have seen 1 MAGA hat and 1 Trump shirt, and maybe 3 or 4 bumper stickers around here, in the past 3 years.
But I do know plenty of Trump supporters at work and in town, but I think most just avoid talking about politics unless they already know where you stand. There are far mor liberals here, and some of them can be pretty nutty.

In Georgia many of them don't hide. Depends on where you go. Go to a predominantly Black area or an area with a large minority population, no Trump signs anywhere. Go to a place where some people fly Confederate flags from their front point, you will find Trump signs, MAGA hats, and Trump bumper stickers.
Though I do make my better half wear this in public every now and again .... it's fun watching people get all wound up and then realize what it actually says.
Around seventeen or eighteen years ago, I went to the Patriots Day game in Fenway. I'm sitting with a couple of friends, and I feel something hitting my back. Don't think anything of it and then it continues, more constantly. I realize they are peanuts. I stood up and turned around, and there are three guys five or six rows behind me who are the ones who are throwing them. As soon as they saw me turn around, they stopped throwing them for the rest of the game.
Not because I'm big, not because I looked angry, not because I had caught them.
I was wearing a Penn State shirt that was a color blue that they mistook for being Yankees' blue. As soon as they saw that the shirt didn't have an "NY" on the other side, they stopped throwing stuff at me (never mind that the game was against the Blue Jays!).
It was a couple of years before the Red Sox won their first World Series in 86 years - - I wonder if that would still happen today after all of their success.
I just traveled through South Dakota and saw a ramshackle farm out in the middle of nowhere. It had confederate flags flying and a huge "trump" spray painted across the barn. There were various signs saying, "Thank god for Trump" and "Trump is King." I thought the flags were a nice touch... said everything without using those pesky words that cause so much trouble for some people.
Here in Wisconsin, there are also some farms out in the rural areas that display their admiration for Trump. It's not uncommon at all. Daily routine: work, watch fox "news" in the evening, get all riled up about the "illegals" and "socialism" and whatnot, drink some beer, go to bed, repeat until you die.
A neighbor of mine still wears her Tea Party shirt a couple times a week as she's butting into the business of other people. She's a bit of an authoritarian, unsurprisingly, and now that her family has all moved away, (also unsurprisingly,) she likes to let her neighbors know all the ways they're failing at life.
Fear not... it's still "socially acceptable" to support Trump. It is, however, still unacceptable to use bad grammar, at least until we all become completely inured to it.
Trump caused this because he is controversial, period.
I can't put up a Trump yard sign without it being trashed or my house vandalized.
Trump has caused none of this.
