As an American I agree, though I have to point out something those of us living this shit nightmare know…
This won’t hurt him. At all. His supporters by and large are what you’d expect from full on Stockholm syndrome victims.
They excuse, Sanewash, and pretend it’s part of some plan to make them great.
His supporters? They can soak in their own bloodbaths and say it was Obama’s fault or some Hillary conspiracy.
The one issue voters who sat out last time, the middle of the ground twats who thought their vote didn’t matter, the Palestinians who thought Kamala’s stance on Israel wasn’t strong enough… Those are the people who have to suffer enough to motivate them to not be so fucking indifferent to things they don’t fully understand.
Vote republican by default, but a shock could change them.
People who vote for or against the status quo based on how the feel things are going. Trump lost in 2020 in part due to people voting against whoever was in office. Hilary Clinton probably would have lost in 2020 had she won in 2016. Trump won in 2024 in part due to similar sentiment to vote out the current party after the inflation that was likely unavoidable consequence of not collapsing from COVID.
Yes the MAGA cult is unwavering, and they are a huge factor in the GOP primaries and certainly an asset in the general election, but they are not enough to assure an election.
Agreed. After watching videos of people literally dying in the ICU being told they are passing away soon specifically because they got COVID and didn’t take the vaccine or wear masks and drank horse dewormer or whatever else, and when asked if they were regretful, they all say “no,” I knew we were screwed.
Hell, I had that same thought happen again when I watched parents whose little children died from Measles were asked “do you regret not vaccinating your now dead children?” And they immediately without hesitation said “no.”
It is a cult, and they are locked in until they are all burned away like a literal fever.
They are supremely loyal but relatively few enough to be outvoted by the other voters that more casually voted for him. It’s harder for me to grasp, but there are folks that voted for him that wouldn’t be going to his rallies or anything.
It is a cult, and they are locked in until they are all burned away like a literal fever.
Yes but, as with any cult, blind faith won’t save them. They’ll go destitute, get sick and die all the same.
It’s a shame it had to come to that but the world will eventually be rid of them anyway. People wishing MAGAtards redeem themselves are focusing on the wrong thing
IMO it’s not really the MAGA idiots you need to worry about. It’s the influential people in the republican party who are supporting Trump.
You’re right that the stereotypical trump supporter can’t be dissuaded by economic hardship.
However, the people that thought Trump was going to deliver them never before seen profits through de-regulation can very easily be dissuaded be economic hardship.
An economic hole is forming, and if it’s deep enough and wide enough Trump will be unseated.

There’s a lot of folks who are either.:

…presuming that quasi-representative elections happen in 2026 and 2028, which are by no means assured…
