There's growing fear within the GOP that if Trump refuses to abandon his tariff policies soon, a chunk of his voter base will abandon him. “It’s a question of what the pain threshold is for the American people and the Republican voters,” one economic adviser said. politi.co/3EfW7nL 📷 Getty

Trump doesn't care if he loses the base. He doesn't need them anymore. He only needed them to get him elected in 2024. He doesn't care about the US, MAGA or the GOP, never has. He is a dictator now.

With people's 401ks falling off a cliff and the trashing of Social Security, I think this will happen sooner rather than later.

Cognitive dissonance is like the suspension of disbelief. When the plot defies all logic or the illusion begins to crack neither can be sustained.

With GOP voters if the policy hurts someone else that’s ok, but when it affects them they move toward the Dems.

That base has given up their faculties and judgement a long time ago. They already seem to think a NYC gold plated reality TV con man cares about anyone. They’ll believe anything now and take it to their graves.

Pain threshold was passed somewhere around January 6, 2021. Pain is becoming chronic and that has to stop.

It is not at all surprising that voters who supported a man who really only cares about money will abandon him because they personally start losing money. None of them have any real values.

It’s probably true, but then Trump and his real supporters very likely have no plans to ever hold fair and open elections again in the US so it’s not like they care

How much pain is needed to deprogram someone in a cult? Pain inflicted on a cult member is always projected to someone/thing outside the cult.
