On September 15, a marathon -gun with a population of about 130,000, located in central Wisconsin, Midwest.At the intersection at the end of the highway, there was a woman (55) who swelled the flag with the name of President Trump.
He supported Mr. Trump, who complained of abortion of artificial pregnancy, from the previous presidential election, and on that day he was the best in the election rally where his eldest son Junior was on stage."Thanks to the president's regulations from China, many lives have been saved by the new Coronavirus."Women gave the Trump administration's results one after another with proud expressions.
However, as soon as he asked about the man standing on the other side of the intersection, his face was clouded."That's the Democratic Party supporter. I just came here, but I didn't exchange words."
The man, 56, raised a message of "Republican Unlike" to the car on passing, and distributed a paper that lists "why cannot vote for playing cards."He told me that the man has voted for 35 years to Republican candidates.
"Trump neglected Corona's evil."Such a resentful man does not reveal his identity and always wears sunglasses.In August in Kenosha, the southern state, a boy fired to a demonstration squad protesting the issue of blacks and the like by police, causing two deaths.He feared that he might be shot with a gun.

The Democratic Party was strong in Warseo about 15 years ago, but the number of Republican supporters gradually increased, and the victory parties are now changing for each election.In the previous election, Mr. Trump, who emphasized the manufacturing industry, won the whole county.
The core industrial paperwork has declined, and many workers can only find low -wage jobs.Despite the production of morning Korean carrots on suburban agricultural land, exports have decreased significantly due to the trade war with China."I still believe that Trump's policy is right. Our common sense doesn't work."
In early September, Trump supporter, a former nurse, Carla Kazz (72), was sent by a man with a "anti -Trump" at a dinner attended with her husband.
Why is it a cult to support him?Under the Trump administration, which has been deregulation, the unemployment rate in the state temporarily improved to the first half of the 3 % range.We believe that reviewing a multilateral trade agreement is beneficial to the local economy.Unlike an existing politician who lines the rhetorical phrases, Trump highly evaluates that "it has clearly expressed what he thinks and has brought it to politics."

Laura Barbie (55), who runs a private lodging in the largest city of Milwaukee in the state, is a "shaking voter" who has voted for republic and the Democratic Party in the past presidential election.Like her last time, she is still upset by many people, including her friends, in the new Corona, although she is also tilted to Trump's support this time.
However, such troubles can only be found by only a few best friends.The intolerance of both "Parent Trump" and "Anti -Trump" believes that they are right and each other.Serious divisions between the people will remain a deep shadow in a quiet residential area where Barbie lives.
Recently, when I took a walk in the neighborhood, I came to see Mr. Biden's sign, along with a signboard supported by Trump.Nevertheless, Barbie doesn't intend to put a signboard even if he decides where to vote."I don't want to be an attack"
