Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

So the war is the straw that broke the camel’s back? Not that he’s a rapist or a convicted felon? Not that he let Musk destroy the government? Or that ICE is running rampant kidnapping and killing Americans and people of other nationalities? Or that he illegally sunk foreign boats in international waters? Or that he is trying undermine the constitution they hold so dear? Or that he raised the cost of living? Or he killed a million Americans by pretending Covid wasn’t real and told people to try stupid things?
him being a pedophile racist dictator with a long documented history of lying and grifting was a good thing for his supporters. they saw him as relatable.
the problem for them is that gas prices went up. so now it affects them a little bit.
No, it's not.
This is just the 100th iteration of "this time they will really start to criticise Trump". And then the cult gets new orders and instantly they will fall silent and shift their opinion as instructed to match their new reality.
These people really took 1984 as an instruction manual.
Yup. 79% of Republicans approve of how Trump is handling the Iran War. No reasonable and informed person can hold that opinion - we are not dealing with serious people here.

Yep. I've stopped thinking any straw will break the camel's back of maga. They seem willing to accept literally any behavior from him. Every one of these articles about disillusioned trumpers never seems to have a basis in more than one or two anecdotal examples. These headlines exist only to provide copium (or maybe hopium) to the rest of us.
That's entirely a matter of perspective, or more precise here: timing.
That wide outrage really exists. But it is very short-lived and just a case of "waiting on new instruction how to think".
He will still vote Republican in the midterms and in 2028.
How about the thing these dumbasses really pretend to care about - spending? This moron has spent almost 6 TRILLION fuckin' dollars since he returned to office and inflation is through the roof (just like last time you fucking geniuses!) but I'm gonna need a crystal ball to know who they're going to blame it on because he hasn't been elected yet. Whoever they blame, you can bet his last name won't be TRUMP.
I keep seeing this pattern. I think a lot of former supporters are really sick of his shit and are just looking for the most politically convenient excuse to finally break with him. E.g. Joe Kent.
So... revelations around him being a child predator is not a politically convenient excuse to break with him?
Sadly, high gas prices and a correction in the stock market are somehow a bigger deal than being exposed as a child rapist.
no, he can rape their daughters and they'll forgive him.
Keep in mind that many of these MAGA folks are in a tribe that will make excuses for anything their idol does, and the tribe will follow because that is what a tribe does. They are in a tribe because they are weak people, mentally and morally.
I hope this is why
They only recognize schadenfreude when it bites them in the ass.
War affects their pocketbook in a more concrete way.
These people have always been selfish.
Yeah, but he's just getting what men should be getting, the concept of 'rape' doesn't make sense since women shouldn't have a say in it
That's just those libs falsely persecuting him you see.
The biggest thing was this super liberal sounding US AID where we help people who should be lifting themselves up by their bootstraps
You mean those spanish speaking people who don't speak American good enough? Or the libs that deserve what they got for being libs?
Yeah, those were some of them non-Muricans again, good riddance
Yeah, but imagine how much that'll own the libs!
Covid wasn't real, and if it was, it wasn't his fault and I'm sure Fauci is somehow to blame...
Well, that's where we are now, my 10 mile to the gallon vehicle now costs hundreds of dollars to fill up, and that is what matters. All to help out some jews that MAGA largely otherwise looks down upon.
I was gonna throw another few out, but the truth is you could keep going forever. There is no bottom to his depravity, and there is no limit to his criminality. Any list, no matter how exhaustive, would come up short.
