The vibes are sour.
If you're not MAGA, you're either a "movement conservative" that actually still believes in things like small limited government, free markets, personal responsibility, etc, or you're at least kind of liberal. In the case of the remnant-movement-conservatives, they've been shocked to learn that the national leadership didn't believe in those things at all. If you're at least kind of liberal, you're shocked because absolute morons are in charge, and they do everything exactly wrong, and they lie constantly.
For some reason, the MAGAs have been sullen and restrained since Trump won. I'm not sue what this is, dogs finally catching the car and not knowing what to do, or the realization that Trump isn't actually all that strong and smart. The famous "Second Amendment People" have been revealed as useless blowhards.
Prices are still high and going higher, and Trump's in a war of the category he promised to NOT get into.
The only thing holding the economy up is data center spending, and the "AI" folks seem dead set on putting everyone out of decent paying jobs with meaning, and into some new underclass, while anointing themselves as a literal new aristocracy with Trump as king.
Everyone is holding their breath.
