Just anecdotal, but chatting with my neighbor and while getting a haircut, there was a lot of concern about Trump. Both of them said they were either scared or becoming scared at the things Trump and the Rs are doing.

At the grocery store when I was getting a couple pennies in my change after paying for my stuff, I joked about no more pennies. The checkout clerk just said the cost of making pennies wasn't on the clerk's list of worries.
