I think I live in an echo chamber in that I am self employed and almost all the people I interact with are self employed. I believe most folks who have to endure the bureaucracy, red tape, idiots running said bureaucracy, unnecessary paperwork and the BS sneaky taxes that come with running a business** especially despise those who advocate for more of the above so while some may not be pro Trump, they're so anti democrat, they're never an option, especially now given the AOC's, Sanders, etc who've risen to the top of that party.
Problem is far more people work for companies and are oblivious to the nonsense people who run their own business have to endure. Couple that with the general disdain folks have adopted toward their employers and/or corporations and you have a large swath of ignorant folks too distracted by the rage machine to actually deep dive into the issues and search for reliable truth upon which to base their vote
cliff notes: I fear we're few in number
**- franchise tax and tax on your furniture, etc that you've already paid for (& paid sales tax on) where you have to pay more tax annually based on the valuation determined by the person who randomly shows up at your business to assess said value
