Last evening, Trump supporters were out driving around the major streets in east Tucson in their pickup trucks streaming large American flags, Police American flags and Trump banners honking their horns. There were quite a few of them but they were spread out thinly in normal traffic. On one major intersection I passed, it looked like ten or so teen and young adult, female family members had been let out to stand at one corner to cheer the trucks as they went by. The impression it gave was a fun, if poorly organized, Homecoming parade.
Unlike in Phoenix, houses and apartment buildings in this part of Tucson are mostly set well back from the major streets with considerable noise buffers. So unless you were out to go somewhere like I was (getting some take out) you probably wouldn't know what was going on or that anything *was* going on. There may have been actual police involved, because they all stayed off the side streets where their cruising around like late 1960s teenagers might have actually bothered some people.
Can't see it changing many minds. And I hope the last minute barrage of seriously nasty TV ads that depict Biden as somewhere between Pol Pot and Kim Jong Un, doesn't encourage a lot of wishy washy Republicans to pop out and vote for Trump.
ETA: I see on a local news site that over half of all registered voters' ballots have already been received in this state, easily a record for early voting.
