You can keep McD
I do think it's at least possible it becomes a sentiment that sticks around. I think it's a perfectly normal reaction to listening to a world leader talk sh** about your own country. I mean, sure, we don't tend to be very fond of our own politicians... because it's still
your govt...

People have become so used to media ranting about everything and anything so anything being said is largely either being ignored or people have a "wait and see" is my impression. We've self-liberated from the rage. Nobody is talking politics. The reactionary energy to everything Trump or anyone else for that matter (including Democrats) has diminished...
What I have noticed is the anger or reactions seem more localized (local politics). Local news and politicians seem to have caught onto this also. Some cities or areas have a history of being loud and outspoken about national politics though, and that's more cultural I think than political (not just "muh liberalism"). Some people still want to hang onto that and I think that's fine... we've never really had that here even though it's claimed Houston is very liberal...
