I'm more surprised at how heavily everyone in Boise and Dallas showed up.

I was on public transit in Dallas and it was the most packed I have ever seen it

Why? Those cities are Democratic strongholds in otherwise red states

Dallas area feels pretty conservative. People keep voting against the public transit system, one of the suburbs where a lot of businesses are is leading an effort to cut public transit funding across the entirety of Texas, horrible cycling infrastructure even downtown, and one of the first recent Democratic candidates to be publicly anti-trans was from Texas. A lot of the businesses here are financial or military contractors, and not a lot of grassrootsy stuff, feels more corporate.
