Speaking anecdotally, the more "normie" Trump voters out there I know all seem a bit bored and demoralized. Trumps schtick doesn't feel fresh anymore, that's part of the reason the "weird" thing is working so well. While they'd never admit it, most of the solidly middle and upper middle class ones have been doing pretty good under the Dems, their Roth IRAs have been doing bank. Biden wasn't the Judeo-Marxist dystopia they all imagined and pretending it is has gotten more and more exhausting for them.
I think a lot of them are quietly hoping he loses so they can slowly de-radicalize themselves, go back to whatever the conservative version of brunch is an be able to deny ever being a Trump fan at the next thanksgiving.
