He reflected on the shift\u2064 in public perception\u200d toward supporting Trump, \u200csuggesting that\u2063 it has become more socially acceptable compared\u2064 to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/shooting-threat-made-against-detroit-polling-location-police-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Shooting threat made against Detroit polling location: Police - Washington Examiner\">previous election\u2064 cycles<\/a>. Robertson expressed confidence\u2064 in Trump&#8217;s chances against\u200d Vice President Kamala Harris, noting that he sensed a\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">favorable cultural climate<\/a>\u2062 for\u2063 Trump&#8217;s support. He recalled making a call predicting\u2064 Trump&#8217;s \u2063victory based\u2062 on the mood of the electorate \u200band observed that\u2062 there was less stigma associated with backing him now. Robertson contrasted the current \u200bmomentum with the \u20622020 campaign, highlighting how negative sentiments\u2064 towards the then-current president, exacerbated by \u200bthe COVID-19 pandemic, may have influenced the earlier \u2063election outcome. he conveyed\u2063 a sense\u2062 that supporting Trump has gained a cooler image over time.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Willie Robertson argues it became &lsquo;kind of cool&rsquo; to support Trump in 2024<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1894217\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Willie Robertson reflected on how President-elect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a> won the election, suggesting there was less stigma to support the former president compared to previous election cycles.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The star of the <em>Duck Dynasty<\/em> reality <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">TV<\/a> show discussed on Tucker Carlson&rsquo;s podcast how he was confident Trump would win the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">2024 election<\/a> against Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Kamala Harris<\/a>.
