Well, I count five of them. CT hasn't been a swing state since Reagan. I wouldn't be too worried about that changing this cycle.

But just like with other big blue states, like California and Illinois, you often see the perennial losers go full freak mode as a form of coping. Its the same way you see folks in Austin, TX or Miami, FL going full hippie-bumper-sticker on their cars and bikes. Folks sometimes think being louder is a substitute for being more popular.

No this is honest. I travel a lot for work and I feel like I see more Trump signs in CT than I did in KY. Not to say that there aren't more Trump supporters in KY, but they are a LOUD minority

These are likely the craziest nutjobs Connecticut has to offer. None of them have many friends or families, obviously. Kids probably all are scared of these people.
