X for doubt.
The only thing that can theoretically shake MAGA is a failing economy, and even that is easily displaced onto scapegoats. This article is delusional.
I've lost count of how many times I've read headlines like this.
I'll believe it when my MAGA relatives turn their backs on Fox News and Trump. Until then, this is weapons grade hopium.
Maybe you should read more than the headlines. There's some pretty good evidentiary detail in this one.
I read it and I'm still not convinced. I've lived with these MAGA types for decades. I'd been forced to be around Fox News and right wing pundit rhetoric for decades. The media they consume are not reporting any of Trump's or his wider administrations shortfalls. Even on the very, very rare occasions that they do, the MAGAs smugly declare that Fox News is owned by Chinese communists and stop watching for like a week (one of my relatives actually said/did this immediately after Jan 6).
And from what I've gathered from the breathless Facebook posts of these people within the last week, everything involving Epstein and Trump is a hoax. New York City is reaching Portland-levels of imaginary death and destruction because of the new mayor. And the dismissal of the case against James Comey and Letitia James was unconstitutional, somehow.
I'm not trying to be pessimistic or cynical. I'm just going off what has happened in the past and what I'm seeing them saying and doing right now. Some of these people are too far gone to accept that they might have made many, many wrong decisions, and they will continue to blame Democrats for their self-inflicted suffering.
It's not true if you live in a deep red state. They treat politics like football teams and REFUSE to ever change parties because their whole family tree has voted red, so they won't change it.
Also most pastors here are hard MAGA and think gay people are going to murder them at every chance, so they spread constant propaganda to the members, so they all vote red as well.
It's a well thought out propaganda train to take advantage of the fact 90% of these people have a 5th grade education and at least 3-4 children.
The thing is, everything has gone exactly right and to plan for Trump and his cronies. All he meant to accomplish was making himself billions, making his family and friends billions, and keeping himself out of jail. Ten months into his term, he has accomplished that. He may even get the remaining 3+ years to continue the grift. Anyone who seriously expected different, is insane.
Release Luigi Mangione and the Epstein files,
Why should they release luigi?
I understand the Epstein files.
Sure this time....ahh well, nevertheless.
If they refuse to vote for anyone but a Republican or to stop demonizing Democrats and Independents, then momentarily admitting water is wet is completely useless.
"I'm confident the crack-up is definitely happening because everyone I talk to is upset and against trump.
What's that?
Yes, I spend all my time on leftist websites and only surround myself with people who think like me, why do you ask?"
I've seen a stark drop in Trump flags and random merch on people's cars.
I would chalk that up to people just not wanting to identify themselves as supporters. They would rather hide their support so when they pull up to stores/friends or families homes, they cannot easily be shown to be awful people.
They are ashamed tat they lick boot.
