Listen, they won’t leave him over sexual abuse charges, but they will leave him over high grocery, gas, and utility prices… Rent is skyrocketing and wages are stagnating. Talk about the economic pain. They will deny abuse, but they won’t deny their light bill. They don’t practice empathy.
The MAGA folks I know are still hopeful, but the grocery store is kicking their ass. Talk about it. The utility prices are about to skyrocket. I heard of a Missouri Dem who won by exclusively talking about his water bill. He carried it in his pocket to show folks.
They’re willing to undergo economic hardship to satisfy their bloodlust.
I think the corruption regarding the abuse and covering it up is a point by which maga can potentially be persuaded, as well. They can’t deny the coverup as easily.
Agree, for some. But the truly faithful are either ignoring it or buying into the conspiracy that democrats falsified the list (e.g. most of my family and neighbors).
Exactly. The fracture should be exploited, for sure.
Then ask your neighbors what the orange traitor promised them that made them vote for him, and then ask if they got it. Pick what matters to people, and then ask why they didn't get it, and LEAVE them to think. No one will admit to you that they agree, but they will convince themselves quietly.
Been there, done that. They blame corp greed, not trump or tariffs, for increased prices. When I give facts about ANYTHING else it boils down to being happy that their taxes will no longer support “lazy ppl” and that undocumented immigrants are being kicked out. They are unreachable.
It's true that some are just hopeless, but I still try to reach the few who aren't, and that's what I have found works best.
The cult and the manufactured contempt for Biden and Obama has their heads so locked that many if not most will tell you those things are better. Facts get in their way, so they dismiss them as hoaxes.
Will they go take 300k a year working as a supervisor for frozen water and not have to worry about this?
Nope......MAGAt's are fully baked into the cult. Extreme family and professional intervention might have a small chance with individuals, but no guarantee. They'll eat dirt and justify the death of their unvaccinated infants from the measles in honor for their messiah.
Maybe by this time next year Maga will begin to feel the pain and start to wake up.
It took covid last time, and the lesson didn't stick. Maybe.
I hope the price increases are enough to do the trick. These MAGA folks are stubborn, however. 
We could fly bombers over their homes, burn their cities and kill their neighbors day after day for months. They still won’t quit until the fuhrer enters the bunker. This story has already been told.
Indeed. After his disastrous first term, the American voters returned him to the White House – with even higher numbers than the first time. Nauseating.
It is worth noting that part of this was a confluence of events. Biden should not have ran, America is still prejudiced and misogynistic, and it is Trump that has the cult following. One and Four aren't going to be true in 26/28.
Good points. Fingers crossed.
It was a Fraudulent Election! I KNOW THIS FOR A FACT !!! Trump & Musk both openly admitted to it ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ Harris should be President; both Chambers of Congress should be Majority Democrats.
That may be so, but exit polls, and polls taken before the election by independent companies showed that the election was very close. That in itself is an indictment of the American electorate. That tens of millions affirmatively voted for the criminal is horrifying.
By the way. Polls may be slanted bc major media OWNERS probably know about the HACKING OF MACHINES; do they themselves load the polls too? MISINFIRMATION By MSM IS PART OF THE LUNACY! They are Billionaires bc they know about the ability to hack machines.they are definitely very easy to hack.
Yeah, I have enough family in the south to know that large swaths of those troglodytes honestly like Donald Trump. Pretty hard to believe, and nauseating, but there it is. 
Me too.
Agreed! Idiots!
Yeah, the base’s ability to resolve their cognitive dissonance is a superpower. Focus on the persuadables.
This is one topic that could unite all of us. Electric bills in my area are going up just over 9% next month. Then, add ridiculous increases in property taxes.
Property taxes, insurance, water, and gas. Waiting for the electric company to reveal its increase.
Trump has proven to them that reality doesn't matter. Even if the policies fail, they'll just claim that they weren't done right or weren't done enough. That's what they've been doing since GWB. It's because no one is ever held accountable
Agreed. Back in the Reagan/Bush days the big lie was that tax cuts pay for themselves. They are still using that one, and people vote for the people still using it, even though it has been proven wrong time and time and time again. Learning is not happening, at least not enough.
Walmart in sub-rural Missouri yesterday.
Wow!
I did not buy…lol
I don’t blame you!
Include skyrocketing cost of homeowners insurance, I've seen >25% increases here and very little of it is based on local conditions (construction costs are up due to trump, but no change in fire, wind, or flood locally). All due to trump policies.
I always comment,”they talk like prices will get even higher.” Or “ I guess we’re gonna have that as long as we’re playing tariff game.
I don't think national media/nationally focused Dems will ever talk about the same things that local people/Dem candidates are focused on. Two different worlds.
You aren’t wrong.
For instance… ?
Girl please. 🤦♀️ You are giving them too much credit. They are just gonna blame Biden or some other Democrat. At this point, you must realize they are in a cult. They are unable to grasp reality.
A perfect example here bsky.app/profile/thet...
He has a swastika flag and a white hood.
Dipshit doesn’t understand that in a dictatorship, HIS wants are not relevant.
ComEd is destroying us in IL this summer, holy hell.
They call it “short-term pain,” which they assume will lead to some sort of wonderful Trump-promised future.
Hopeful for what?! This is all on them.
And a medium AI facility uses the same amt of water a day as 100,000 households. Remember that when MO wants to be sole arbitrator of where in the state AI can locate...like CAFOs. Is your well important to you? It's coming. I predict next session
They still blame President Biden even though prices were coming down, despite the efforts of some Democrats who tried to stop gouging & electricity prices down.
I just got notice my electric is going up by 30% in southern MO
Remember when we were told the windmills would lower our electricity bills?
They did. But Trump's BBB cancelled it so he can get a huge tax break.
I'm a journalist with a Japanese publication doing a story on how red states are likely to see the highest increases in electricity prices. Any chance you'd answer a few questions?
Me too
Me too!!! I'm actually going to the hearing to voice my opinion because it's such bullshit!! And they have a monopoly so we don't even get a choice.
I'm a journalist with the Nikkei working on a story on how red states are likely to see the highest increases in electricity prices. Please let me know if you might be willing to comment for the piece!
Corporate leaches seeping into all these Red states' grid management boards have CONFLICTS of interest. Look at what these crooked Republicans did in Texas. 🤬
Every trip to the supermarket, the fresh produce is little worse and costs more.
And we know that the water companies got their increases.
I’m grateful we have a well. Offsets high electric with PG & E
Some MAGA supporters believe they are playing the long game and are willing to endure short-term sacrifices for future benefits.
Also, the more technology advances, the farther we get from kindness and humanitarianism. It's all related; connect the dots. And DON'T FEED THE OLIGARCHS.
That's the thing Jess stupid gullible people have to personally experience something before they realize it of course usually by that point in time it's too late for them but in the end they'll realize exactly how stupid and gullible they are and they will feel the shame of it.
I am not so sure. The magats have been brainwashed into blaming the Dems / "Left" / brown people / $convenient_patsies for any economic hardship. And into unconditional faith in the mythical American Dream. No inroads have been made against these false beliefs. BUT thread bsky.app/profile/idio...
They always find excuses for the pain everyone has to deal with financially. Remember - its a cult, they always find excuses.
MAGA sure is the cult of bullshit excuses.
This is so true. Disgusting, but true.
$200+ increase in my utility bill this month.
My rates are ⬆️ too but not that bad, thankfully. I have 3 ppl living in 900sq ft w/temps in the 90s. My light bill this time last year was ~$140. The bill I paid this payday was $210. I don't know how long we can sustain this w/rent going up every year. Buying a house will cost us 2x our rent here 😞
This is wishful thinking. They’ll just blame Democrats.
When he crashed the economy because of Covid, we were able to elect Joe Biden.
Not exactly. The economy wasn’t the issue so much as COVID, scandals, and chaos. We lost the last election because the Left stayed home over foreign policy, and I wouldn’t bank on his supporters connecting their economic woes to him.
And now they’re cooking up new reasons to blame GOP policies on Democrats to justify attacking Democrats exclusively in the run up to midterms.
Re supporters being able to connect anything: Isn't the widespread MAGA conviction that Biden is destroying our economy even now? They are so stupid they would believe Biden messed up Trump 1.0's economy during COVID! Hope the tariffs start really biting soon.
Dems lost the last election by disfranchising Independent voters with their lax border controls, pro-illegal immigrants and pro-Palestine stances. Dems utterly failed to read the room on the American electorate. And Biden played footsies regarding the Top Secret Docs trump stole.
Our base stayed home claiming we were genocidal. The fact you think we were too “pro-Palestinian” says a lot. Also, if being pro-ICE was the answer I’m glad we were wrong l. Sorry you’re more comfortable with people being abducted than being here without papers.
Came to say the same.
Agreed. Death cultist gonna death cult.
MAGA will believe anything but half of all GOP are not maga.
Over half, and the percentage keeps steadily increasing. And Trump’s clearly not a deal-breaker for the remainder.
They're a cult. Cult45 will just do more mental gymnastics to somehow pin the blame on Biden and Obama, regardless of what the Apricot Ant1chr1st does. If it wasn't so sad and cringey, it would be an interesting study in psychiatric studies.
We're watching a real-time demonstration of how Hitler came to power and went from antisemitic speeches to gas chambers.
Indeed...and most folks are acting like everything is normal, and everything is going to be ok if we simply vote correctly later on. No one EVER escaped Facism via voting. Will my pollyanna ass still be voting in the midterms? Yes. Will I know that it's rigged? Again, yes.
Yeah, pretty sure I'll be able to vote here in California and know that my vote will count. But not too sanguine about whether Dems/POC, etc., will be able to feel the same in red states. My biggest worry.
I'm an Independent in a deep red state. I have little faith in my vote, but I'll still be there...Angry, doubtful, but present.
Much appreciated (and how you do it, I have no idea). Hopefully, your liberal neighbors will also vote rather than staying home...
Absolutely, & their racism & stupidity with guns is as UnAmerican & irresponsible as burning rubber & running over goofy spectators in front of the Capitol on January 6❗️tRUmp's cult STILL FEARS & obeys their orange Feuhrer. 😡
Or maybe stop trying to communicate with people disconnected from reality? 🤷 A better use of time is engaging your community or non voters instead of trying to woo people who need therapy and reeducation.
💯
They also won't like it when their disability is cut, or their relatives who have had their disability cut show up on their doorstep.
I’ve seen comments of supporters who would gladly pay higher prices as long as it meant “owning the libs” whatever that means at this point.
But they are in denial. I see claims every day about prices being the same, inflation being lower, short term pain for long term gain. They will justify our find a way to rationalize anything... or just flat out believe the lies they are fed.
I’ll believe it when I see it 🙋♀️
bsky.app/profile/af68...
From what I see with family members, they don't draw the connection between GOP policy, the oligarchy and strangling rising cost of living. I keep pointing it out, though.
I think the Epstein case shows the way. Make it into a conspiracy theory. "What aren't they telling us? What are they hiding?"
Please those zombies are being reprogrammed as we stroll they will awaken tomorrow begging to scammed some more as long as they can have their hate and racism and their wildest sickest dreams fulfilled. Hurt people hurt people!
This is probably true, unfortunately.
“They don’t PRACTICE empathy.” Interesting and and precise statement. It would be informative to study if they have any level of comprehension of what empathy is.
And jobs being lost will continue. Yep. Regrets will follow.
They will blame everything on Biden and look away.
an population of sociopaths
They don't have any empathy They distain empathy, thinking it weakness They think it's a character flaw They are massive failures at being human
Remember, it was Musk who said empathy is destroying western civilization. Most Rs feel that way, they just don’t say it. 🍊 🤡 is incapable of empathy bc he’s a sociopath. He, Rs, SCOTUS, Heritage, Koch etc are running the country into ground; they want authoritarianism & oligarchy, not fairness.
Let’s not forget unemployment
But will those high prices for gas groceries, utilities and more, drop afterwards? I bet not.That doesn’t seem to be the modus operandi for the corporate community.
They are all about empathy for Me but not for We. Sad and destructive behavior.
bsky.app/profile/af68...
I think they’ll find a way to out blame elsewhere.
It won't work. They are already spinning the economy to blame the last administration. It doesn't matter what tactic you try to use, they are too far gone, too brainwashed, to look at any facts or reality. Christianity has done too good a job of creating a horde of mindless zombies. They are lost.
we don't need them and it's a waste of time even talking about them -- the decent people who stayed home should be the target - and yes, stop talking about Epstein or Colbert -- start talking econ policies....and anti-imperilaism would be good too.
Hit em on all fronts. The more the merrier The Epstein stuff is sticking for some. All they needed was for him/doj to come out and lie about it right away. I was surprised they didn't just come out with an altered version immediately, but his name must be so freaking all over it, it's impossible

Time for heavy boycotting.
It is!
I have just been cutting those businesses out of my life. I am thinking of listing them on here at some point. I don’t ever plan to go back to anything that sides with fascism.

Make sure you list separate products, not just the parent company.

They believe abuse happens to other people, in a culture where women and girls are felt to be less than boys and men. Victims deserve it, are considered to be chattel, etc. Men tout sexual acts as God’s sacred gift for new life but arrogantly see it as their right to possess without accountability.
I'd love it if you were right, but I fear a few things: 1) Rigged elections - primarily through voter suppression 2) They'll blame "DemoRats" for everything they dislike 3) As long as the "other" hurts more than they do, they will put up with bad things for themselves because they have no empathy
Agree. I’d like to see Trump wear this label, but the followers won’t believe it anyway. Financial pain is arriving like a tsunami.
He🤡blames skyrocketing prices on President Biden and his magaTs eat that sh!t up! Don't know how long that is gonna fly...them magaT morons are slow.

I think you’re absolutely right
I believe some will follow him until the bitter end. But I believe if enough feel the pain in their purse they’ll quietly jump ship.
Epstein could be an easy off ramp for some. And I agree, others will follow him to the bitter end. They’ll do it because they really believe in him or they just can’t admit that they were conned.

Not to worry, my FIL sent a video from a group called 1776 something (so you know that's real patriots and not cult members)and the guy said global reset to 1955 prices coming any day now. 🤦♀️🤣😂
they don't have empathy
Do it all. Flood the zone. All the dirt, all the time, over and over and over. Until they start answering question, it should be the only question asked.
I appreciate your optimism…
Sexual abuse? No. Child rape? Yes, a lot of them will leave him for that. There's a huge segment of his base that has been fantasizing about murdering rich pedos, they certainly aren't going to support one openly.
🤣
bsky.app/profile/af68...
MAGA doesnt even have empathy for other MAGA
Humble opinion here: They won’t leave over prices. They’ll find other people to blame, as always.
They will deny anything that goes against their "reality"
They will blame Biden.
Trump literally blames Biden for people he appointed. And no one from the media present corrected or questioned it. #sanewashing
Exactly. It's insane and it BOGGLES the mind.
As absurd as that is? You're right. People will find any excuse, real or not, to blame Biden & the rest of the Democrats, and they'll believe them. For some people, it works every time. There are so many people here politically illiterate. And it's a problem, because they still vote.
I say the same thing about Gavin Newsom - who has allowed common commodities to skyrocket in CA and has allowed Pacific Gas & Electric to raise their rates so high that people have to choose between food/rent over paying their PG&E bill. Don't let him become the Democratic nominee for president.
I don’t think they’ll ever stop believing whatever BS he spews. They are in it for life. I work with a magat. She actually said to me one day that her morals were higher than mine because she voted for trump and that it didn’t matter what he does because he was the best thing for the country. 🤬
State level Republicans tried to block Medicaid expansion and state level R voters fought for it--and went right on voting R. Even when directly experiencing the negative effects of R policy nearly all R voters vote R. Why? Their belief that the R party is the real true party of real true American
values and they are therefore siding with the real true America by voting R and the rest of us are the Other and not real true Americans and we must be kept down. So, the only way to get them to stop voting R is to burst that bubble of snobbery. I don't know how to do that except by asserting that
WE ARE THE REAL PATRIOTS, not them. I do this by carrying a flag to protests which startles the hell out of Rethugs every time. I also assert the patriotism of our views in letters to the local small town newspaper. Just my voice, of course.
I agree so MUCH with this sentiment. I’ve been called anti American by MAGAT trolls here on Bluesky. I’m not the one desperate to be ruled a fascist dictator, I’m not the one supporting trampling of the constitution and making a mockery of everything our country has striven to be in this world!
I'm not sure they will leave even over personal economic difficulties. After all red states are Third World dumps due to Republican rule and the white people in those dumps keep re-electing Republicans. I don't mean that none of them will, but I doubt there will be a great repudiation because one
of the fundamental assumptions of Republican voters is their innate superiority over all others in the sense that they are the real true patriotic Americans with the real true news sources and they have the real true American values and the rest of us suck. So how can they be wrong?
They say, it’s going to get worse before it gets better.
In the MAGA world "empathy" is considered "woke" so that will not make much difference to $$Trump...
Let’s interweave it. “The child rapist is making everything more expensive!”. “Why do all the child rapist oligarch friends of child rapist trump see all the benefits of his economic policies?” -Raises eyebrows-
Consider signing. Pam Bondi & Ashley Moody corruption. Bondi & Moody's corrupt FL legacy qualified them for national office. www.change.org/p/pam-bondi-...
And their jobs are being taken away.
True. $ is the only thing that will change his base. When it impacts them. Farmers, cost of groceries, cost of goods due to tariffs, cost of cars, losing jobs, unemployment, but most of all the stock market and bonds.
I’d hit them with both…
They won’t see the prices go crazy high until the dems regain control, and the dems won’t effectively use that window to restore checks and balances, and then someone worse and smarter than Trump swoops in and claims the wheel of this hegemony with no one to stop them.
bsky.app/profile/af68...
Truth here…if it’s happening to someone else? meh…

While I agree to a point, the truth about Epstein should still come out. We should be able to juggle all of it.

They know and practice uncompassionate. . .

The prices haven’t bothered them this whole time. However, I see them losing their minds over a Epstein. I’m going to stick with exposing the truth about Epstein.
bsky.app/profile/af68...
Trump still blames Biden, Fox News is still repeating the lie, and MAGA is still eating it up.
Very much this. All the MAGA I know either blame biden. Or say, yeah it's bad but it would be worse under biden. Trump literally can do no wrong in their eyes. And never will
I’m not even sure they will over high prices. They will still listen to his excuses to blame Biden and Obama.

I’m for exposing all sexual deviants and giving them what they deserve.
bsky.app/profile/af68...
Well, I think all of them will fall.
Nah, somehow they will say Biden caused the inflation.
Facts!
Perfect advice!
I don’t think they’ll leave him. Period.
Classic republican behaviour. “It don’t matter unless if affects me” They don’t care if children are at risk, unless it’s their own children They don’t care if people can’t afford insurance, unless it’s their own premiums that go up. They don’t care if prices go up, unless it’s things they buy.
Can confirm
True that. This takes time though
Truth
Bingo!!
They've known about the moral turpitude since before he first got elected the first time, they didn't care then, they don't care now. It's because he's treating them the same way he treats the "others", the migrants, the poor, the minorities. To Trump they're just another group ... "the suckers".
The frogs never notice the water temp rising until it's too late.
They have no souls, no hearts, and zero empathy for anyone
He makes dumbshit maggots feel smart. They love him. They'll never admit they were conned. We've got to get the non voters voting. Fuck the Maggots; they are unable to learn.
Occasionally they do… especially when they are personally affected. leavingmaga.org/our-founder/
Thank goodness.
Or the cost of a basic beef roast.
Epstein is the fly on their shit…the MAGA cult is obsessed with pedophile conspiracy. Keep the narrative going and keep the inflation in price fear going flood zone with their own shit
With common decency out the door and a never-ending hunger for power, the GQP is the downfall of democracy. The only prices they cared about were the stocks they bought and sold.
He just posted that the stock market is at record highs. It is not.
bsky.app/profile/af68...
Obviously gas is $1.98 and there is no inflation; it's Biden's or Obama's fault.
I'm tired of dealing with people who clearly have no interest in being human.
Really feel and see impact.....just hope maga will eventually own up to this nonsense
Damn right, Jess Piper! A cult of selfishness cannot live on bread alone for long
We can still recognize their depravity while we do that. It’s what a defender of Trump is inarguably defending. It’s who they are.
Will they blame Trump/republicans or will they blame corporations for raising prices? I was told by a MAGA person that corporations are raising prices using tariffs as an excuse. The corporations are not really paying more because of tariffs. Corporate greed, not tariffs, are raising prices.
Well, they are probably not wrong. I’m sure it’s a combination of the two. However, they wouldn’t be able to use tariffs as a justification if there weren’t any.
I hope that by they, you mean #FBi, bc #maga has been raising their voices about #epstein, more than your dear #democrat leaders
What will piss them off is getting their trucks repossessed, and having to choose their beer over food for the family
That would take a heart; to express empathy. I think it’s been proved they have no heart.
They won’t mind suffering as long as they have continuous evidence that dark-skinned people are being made to suffer more.
I doubt it. They'll never leave them. They're too deep to admit they were wrong.
Feels weird to be rooting for financial disaster, but I'll take it if it gets the fascist pedophile out of the White House.
Agreed, they already knew Trump was a rapist and a pedophile. They supported his raping little girls. It’ll ultimately be the economic collapse that drives him out, but it’s important to keep pushing the child rape angle too, enough Republicans are wavering on it.
Many years ago (in the 80’s) the first time I heard his name had something to do with dog abuse. I can’t find anything about it now, but if someone could dig that up, that would be the tipping point.
MAGA is pretty forgiving but even criminals hate pedophiles.
Aw what the hell, let’s do both…
I agree. They don't care about Epstein. But notice how the Medicaid cuts don't come until after the midterms. Our job is to educate people, and make them understand what's coming – before the midterms. 
I think Q-anon would care. Image taken from the anti-defamation league site. I can’t find a percentage of “the base” that are Qanon, but I’m guessing it isn’t a small number
www.bbc.com/news/article...
IF they believe Trump isn't lying about the scandal being a hoax. Most of these folks have swallowed Trump's daily lies for years without vomiting, so fingers crossed that this is the final straw.
True. If it isn’t the final straw then I hope it at least plants some seeds of doubt in their minds.
The wonderful thing is, Felon47 is suing WSJ, so WSJ gets to do DISCOVERY, which puts the Epstein files in the public domain. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...
Call me cynical but I don’t think that will wake them up either. They are gone, we have to move on from them. 90mil didn’t vote. The Dem base is eroded due to a lack of truly progressive policies and shitty leadership. Focus there, forget what maga is thinking/doing. You can’t reason w ppl in a cult
Agree 1000%
“The Soul, The Strongman, and The Second Sex” The MAGA rally isn’t just a stage. It’s a womb. Trump is the father-god, seeding his myth. The crowd is his midwife, birthing his legend. His cult must reproduce his image— or else he dies. 🧭 Read → noshortcutstonow.substack.com/p/field-note...
We definitely need candidates who will appeal to a broad part of our coalition. Unlike the GOP, we don’t kick out people who take another point of view. Means we have to work harder to make sure our voters want to brave the voting booths.
Unfortunately, they won’t leave him for ANY reason. They are FULLY invested.
Except they do deny their own bills.
He broke campaign promises in a big way. No more wars? Nope. Trump never said he'd make anything affordable though. He always said tax cuts for the rich. Any Democrat offering tax cuts for the should be excluded as well of course but the rich pick the candidates. America's landlord.
I agree.
There you go👽
But they are still blaming Biden, Obama, democrats in general...because they cannot handle the truth...
It’s still amazing that supposedly MAGA is not a cult. that many millions still believe FOX=propaganda and an Administration of pathological liars and what’s left of the Republican party! If you went down the rabbit hole 12yrs ago and still digging down. You are a cult member. Start living a life!
They is us. Democratic voters did not take his sex crimes seriously either or they would have got themselves to the polls to defeat him.
Oh my gosh. I’ve just been talking about how Trump triggers memories of abuse (by men: fathers, partners) especially for those of us who grew up in the south. So “won’t leave him” and “will leave him” came across to me as about as literal as you get: What makes you leave an abusive spouse?
...except that they have. Many times. They either downplay it or outright deny it.
This makes the most sense. The leaving can't come soon enough, though.
Morally and ethically empty. I don’t believe they will abandon him even when they find out HE was one of the main co-conspirators…
There is nothing he could do that they would not happily accept.
Minimum wage in New Mexico 12.00 hour In Illinois it’s 15.45 hour. Federal is 7.25 hour
I'm not sure about that. He said a while back that he got gas down to 1.98... I have not seen pushback from that though its clearly a lie.
Very good point. The people who back Trump know how he behaves with women. They don’t care or they wouldn’t have voted for him. Simple.
And the cost of medical premiums will sky rocket. People will resign and give up on their health. Food on the table is more important.
100%. People forgot about Jan 6. People forgot ~ 1 Million citizens died due to reckless chaos. People forgot national debt increased by 40% ($8.5 Trillion!) People forgot he led an insurrection! There's time for $billionaire propagandists to change headlines long before midterms. DO NOT FORGET!
They never possessed empathy for all unfortunately. Too busy pursuing being sociopaths to trifle with such “woke” ideals. They believe compromise is a weakness. Clearly they feel similarly about compassion. I’m not sure we can appeal to their better nature at this point. MAGA is a cult mentality.
100% true Jess.
They never gave a shit about prices. The only way for him to lose their support would be to close the concentration camps, vaccinate children, and feed hungry people.
Pathway to citizenship – they’d storm the White House this time!
We need to counter MAGA with: He LIED about EVERYTHING. He’s still lying. And that quote “We’re going to get so rich” wasn’t about you or me. Cuz we’re not billionaire mega-donors.
That's why he's buying them off with $45k hiring bonuses at ICE!
I really don't think most MAGA care abt young girls being preyed upon. I don't remember them getting bothered by Matt Gaetz or child marriage. Take a penny from them through and watch them turn on Trump.....
Yep.
The Epstein story is a Q anon based conspiracy. It's MAGA's origin story.
And Trump is floundering right now, severely. 🍿 Frankly I'm hoping that coronary will save us first. The more he gets worked up. We just have to keep the pressure on. He does NOT want the pedo label, even though most of us already know he has it. 🤮
Agreed!
The Epstein stuff has always been real. The Q shit is all about politicians being demonic pedo cultists. It only obfuscated the truth, which is that there is a ring of powerful men who sexually preyed on women and children and Epstein was a major facilitator of these crimes.
I always said where there's this much smoke it's a five alarm fire.
They will find a way to blame Biden, Obama, Hillary, or Kamala. It’s what they do.
Yeah, I'm not even sure that will make a difference to them. Remember, these are the people who were yammering about the "economic carnage" and "out of control inflation" under Biden. Like empathy, facts also don't really matter to them. Hating brown folks and lying are basically their big jams.
When things affect your bottom line, politics is no longer an abstract idea. People vote their stomachs not their values.
They don't know what empathy is🥺
The only way the GOP will turn on Trump, is if they start losing money!
He’ll just blame Biden and American media will back up the lie.
Nope…They think it is their patriotic duty to pay higher prices now that he is in the Whitehouse. No, it doesn’t make sense. None of it does.
I’ll believe it when I see it. MAGA makes excuses for everything and if they can’t they deny reality.
I doubt it. Murdoch & the others have been working hard for decades to train White people to blame Democrats & minorities for everything.
I’m sort of thinking the Epstein thing, which is hardly new, is a safe off-ramp for some of them.
Perhaps. Help them to take it by hammering how they will be hurt by the economy caused by the administration’s policies…
Agreed
No I don’t think the maggots will leave him over any of this. He hates same people they do. We just have to outnumber them before this country becomes a full blown police state with ice as his brown shirts.
We DO outnumber them. The problem is getting people to freakin’ vote!

Come on. The narrative changes to match his. "It's ok to hurt a little now for better later" quickly became the go to after egg & gas prices didn't fall, in fact both increased. But it's ok to them bc F47 told them it was ok & just how it was going to be. They won't leave him, they're too far in.
☝️ This x 1000 Suffering in the name of "insert here" for future rewards is literally what they are all about. Nevermind that proof of those eternal glories or future reward is nowhere to be found. It's not new, it's how they justify any kind of hardship. "Good enough for me, good enough for thee."
Even if we definitively prove he's a pedo, that won't change makeup of the scotus or the shit decisions they have ruled upon. Nor will it change the fact that Republicans are taking glee in destroying great govt institutions. These people are brain broken. And there are tens of millions of them
He will blame it on his enemies. That worked pretty well for the Nazis.
Those looking for an exit will take it. Then what? They don’t vote at all because they still believe all the propaganda? Is that enough for a Republican failure at the polls? Will the election season be clean enough to right this listing ship? 46 did some incredible stuff, fast. Can that repeat?
Waiting to see how Biden or Obama will be blamed for high beef prices...
Seriously! A 5lb roll of 73/27 ground beef at Kroger in central IN is $23! I almost fell over at the store yesterday. And my coffee is up to ten fucking dollars/bag. I don't know how we are going to sustain this. But they won't put the blame where it belongs.
Good thing I rarely eat beef and don't drink coffee lol
I know! My coffee brand went up $10/bag too. 😿
Your comment makes me envision Biden and Obama laughing maniacally as they spin a wheel or pull a lever to see how much prices will go up. 😈😄
Love it. Also Mirkwood
Bill Gates vaccinated the cattle during lockdowns so they only produce wind and no beef! Same with eggs, chickens only produce solar nowadays.
I feel you’re right
Those were the kitchen table issues that Kamala Harris spoke about constantly. I do not believe that is a winning message for 2026 even though it is a big issue.

Amen. It’s always the economy. People vote their own wallets the majority of the time. High prices, inflation, tax cuts, healthcare costs impact voters personally. Epstein files won’t.
they're sociopaths. they don't understand empathy because they HAVE NONE.
Harvey Weinstein was untouchable until *poof*, one day he went to jail. The knives are out. Trump will fall, and it will be brutal.
Trump is only the beginning of their plan - he is faltering and I assume his handlers know it. The next "Trump" will be much much worse
I don’t care which of the many scandals, incompetencies or grifting gets him gone. If it’s the Epstein coverup - so be it.
But even MAGAs don't like rich old guys having sex w their 16 yo daughters. bsky.app/profile/cweb...
Republicans have shown over and over that they do NOT care if their politicians are sex offenders. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
There is a lot of incest in red states where R women look the other way when their own husband rapes his own daughter. There is a lot of pedophilia in churches, which Rs support unconditionally. Rs don't care what happens to girls.

They won’t care what he does until it negatively impacts them directly.
In other words, “himpathy.” Because the ladies no longer have their rights to object.
No they won't. Objective truth has been destroyed. The very first casualty of all democracies.
Also, we are losing the tax dollars those locked up immigrants were paying and could be paying. We pay ICE instead and we pay for concentration camps. We lose money that we desperately need
They won’t leave him over any of it, even if he becomes an international pariah because he’s a bonafide pedophile, which he is.
I don't care what people who betrayed America do. They will all be my mortal enemies until I'm dead or they all are. Their betrayal is unforgivable and unforgettable.
When meat comes close to the magical price point of $10/kg., someone needs to start a conspiracy theory that the US government is trying to turn everyone vegetarian.
Unfortunately a whole bunch of people are going to die before they leave the kkkult. How many are we willing to watch before we fight back
They won’t at first, they won’t for a while. He’ll blame big business and they’ll believe it, he’ll blame Democrats that aren’t in power and they’ll buy that too. It will take a long time and too much damage for them to start believing
I told one about their medical bills going up in the fall. That got her attention.
ROFL But “They” understand all of that is #BidensLegacy
Potentially.
I expect trump’s policies will result in higher wages and inflation. There’s going to be labor shortages pressuring prices and the effects of the tariffs will increase prices also
Being on the list won't matter to them, and even photo/video evidence wouldn't matter to most of them either.
Back when right-wing Christianity started becoming the rage, there was this bumper sticker: "JESUS SAID IT... I BELIEVE IT... AND THAT SETTLES IT!" Substitute "Trump" for "Jesus".
Exactly our electric bills have tripled since last year and we use less than we did last year shits about to get real
There, I fixed it for you…plural.👍🏼

I'm old, and from my long lifetime there are few things I know for sure. One is that many people will not learn from a good example, a rational explanation or a whole mountain of evidence. The only teacher who can reach them is their own personal pain. When pain gets bad enough they finally listen.
You are underestimating MAGA's ability to gaslight itself into submission. As long as they watch other people suffer, the true MAGA believers will gladly suffer for their dear leader.
I live in Michigan and my rent will increase by $65. It would be $100, but I get a 3% discount for being over 65. I should add that most of my utilities including heat are included, so that's something.
Well, can they turn? Have you seen what the fat orange blob has done to the price of coffee? I opened a package of Cheezits and wondered if I paid for the packaging? Thanks to the Big Beautiful Bill energy prices are expected to rise 30% and unemployment claims are up.

We can do both. Hammer him on everything.
You still talk to conservatives? I don't really want to try and convince a pedophile cult to talk to me.
Exactly, this is where his stupidity is a real weakness. He, & the GOP, should know better than to mess with the wallets of their white supporters. Just wait until he tanks the markets in August.
Unfortunately, things will have to become significantly worse than they are in a quicker amount of time. MAGA won't change any more than a frog will jump out of a slow boiling pot.
I think we’re just surprised that the sex abuse - THAT HAS BEEN KNOWN & IN THE OPEN - is what is causing backlash within MAGA. I think it’s a mistake for Dems to pick up the loose ball and run with it, though. Let them recover it and take it all the way to the goal line.
They won’t leave until they are personally hurt, like financially or worse.
Which is why, while taking about these things, you cite specific examples… in red states… as often as possible and as many examples as possible (but one or two at a time because the ones who aren’t turned off by the sexual predator side are definitely in the “I ain’t reading all that” club).
They can only blame Biden for so long.
...Have you heard the accounts of nurses whose patients have literally died on a respirator insisting COVID is a hoax?
The problem is they all live in an echo chamber that has told them for decades that all their problems are the fault of liberal democrats who take their money and give it to people who “don’t deserve it”. I fear that they won’t leave maga over anything.
That's how Reagan and the GOP got disaffected voters in their camp, blaming their economic woes on "welfare queens" and immigrants--vulnerable people on the bottom of the socio-economic ladder who can't fight back--instead of where it belongs, on the plates of corporate overlords & the greedy rich.
With help from the mainstream media. The big media outlets have been owned by big corporations for decades now. They all have ulterior motives to throw the poor and immigrants under the bus.
Is it still Biden fault?
Cruelty is the point with these people.
Given the transactional mindset of Christian Nationalists, I am inclined to agree that "money over morals" might be the deal breaker, but their Pastors will demonize Democrats and get them back in line.
"they know not what they do"
Well, they’re losing faith in him over the Epstein file lies piled onto record high inflation. My friends are dubious, but I’m beginning to think that Trump will have a health crisis before the end of the year and resign. Hopefully he won’t get a pardon for past crimes.
and they are coming. They are coming.
I don't think they will even care about that. All they really care about is that he is hurting the people they hate.
Haven't you noticed how he deals with bad stats? He simply lies about them. He says, e.g., "Gas is a dollar a gallon and the economy is booming!" Because he knows the press will go ho-hum and it's on to the next lie.
Reality is irrelevant! How long will it take for MAGA to figure out that Trump is irrelevant.
Re High Bills. I sure hope you're right, but last week when he lied about gas being 1.99 and grocery prices down and even tho maggots can see differently with their own eyes, they still won't accept reality. It is a sickness that we didn't catch. I despair that they could ever be deprogrammed.
MAGA pretend to be principled people and will swallow their pride over our diminishing economy claiming it was worth it to stop wokism, immigrants, pedos, rainbow book queens and save women’s sports and the unborn.
No, they'll just make up more stuff and go deeper into self-delusion. Look at the Texas floods. There's already conspiracies taking root about cloud seeding. They already believed conspiracies around why their lives weren't great. That's not going to change just because their lives get worse.
