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.
