I realize there’s no singular answer for this, but many of the MAGA crowd attribute many of our current woes to the prior administration, like cost of living, inflation, unemployment rates, etc.
I’d imagine that every day that passes and we get more and more distant from Biden’s presidency, it gets a bit harder to blame him for every problem.
e.g. It’d be hard to blame many of the increased prices on electronics on him, since much of this has been driven by Trump’s tariffs (but I bet someone will attempt to refute this!)
This is a long-winded way of me asking the community, have you seen any Trump fans start to come around at all? When do we start living in the conditions (good or bad) of Trump’s America and stop laying blame on the last administration?
I’m interested to see what people of all persuasions feel about this.
For myself, I have seen some minor loss of enthusiasm among Trump followers, but I haven’t seen anyone register as a Democrat yet :)

The answer is ‘never’. If these people were capable of self reflection then Trump wouldn’t have a second term. That’s not how cults of personality work.

Once he bites the big one, we’ll start hearing horror stories from his flunkies that are no longer afraid to tell the truth, but it won’t amount to anything at that point, as MAGA still won’t believe any of it.

You just hope that all the self serving gremlins that gravitated towards Chief Cheeto spend the rest of their lives like adults that peaked in high school. Just trying to relive the glory days while slowly sliding into liver cirrhosis and amphetamine addiction while being ignored by their families

I’m 100% sure that’s true for some people, but I do not believe that you can put people into two buckets: Totally against Trump and totally for Trump. I am really disinterested in people that DO fall into either of those categories, as they are beyond reason.
However, I’m interested in anyone that falls outside those categories, as those are the people whose minds can be changed.

I think being totally against a convicted felon rapist who is actively dismantling the protections that have been in the Construction for centuries is totally within reason.

Trump is a bold, unapologetic fascist. You need to accept this fact, or it will kill you. He will never take responsibility because that is not how fascism works.

At this point you absolutely fucking can.

I am also disinterested in the entire human race.

…you think people totally against Trump need to be more open to changing their minds?
