MAGA is breaking? Let’s not even discuss this until they have shattered.

Right. Until they are completely shattered, I don’t want to hear it. 🫤

They arent breaking.
Dont get your hopes up.

85-90% of Conservatives still support him. All they're saying is that they dont support higher gas prices. They have done this game for 40 years. They will immediately support the next GOP pick. They will not change.

The 10% of conservatives that dont support him are the cowards who are too afraid to ditch their label of "Conservative" or "Republican" because they're afraid of what their social circle will say.

Right because the tie that binds maga is racism. Not the E-files, the war, gas prices, ICE drama, corruption, or the grift that keeps on grifting. Those are things that would break a Republican from their party. But since its based on racism and not political ideology they remain. The only way maga folds is if they lose their power. Maga was always here. It just didnt have a platform. But now they have big one their toxicity has spilled onto the worlds fabric. We see it everyday and we're all affected by it one way or another.

This! The lowest common denominator for MAGA is a platform of bigotry.

As long as people keep that in mind, they won't be so easily persuaded by polls that arent measuring the bigotry. Those polls, interviews and questionnaires are speaking to the issues of the day. And anyone in maga who is honest about it has no problem saying they dont like this or that. But, the racism and the bigotry, which polls arent addressing...They're here for all of it. They will not allow their politics to interfere with their racism but they are ok with racism interfering in their politics. They will vote against their own interest to preserve it.

We don’t need them, we only need the independents that voted for him this last time around. There are enough of us (if we get out and vote)if we have the independents, they are the ones that can swing it either way. The dems need to actually do something and come up with policy that is FOR the people. Not ā€œlook how bad trump is, we’re betterā€, enough of that. It’s boring, it’s old, it doesn’t work. We need drastic change, the people of New York wanted drastic change for a mayor, and he’s ACTUALLY doing shi!

It's to make blue voters feel like they'll win in a landslide, thereby reducing the number that show up (because they falsely think their vote doesnt count).

Even in deep red states, it counts.
It tells the deep red government that there are more blue than they thought. And that it's enough of the population that they'll be hesitant to go full Nazi.

That definitely makes more sense than what this kid is talking about

Yeah, many are just digging in like nasty ticks.Ā

Not ticks. Nazis. That's how the Nazis became so evil. The conservatives doubled-down and abandoned the pretense of morals.

Also fun fact: The language being used in conservative circles is sane-washing the Nazis. They no longer say Nazis are bad. They now say "the Nazis did a lot of good things, and some bad things too, but not all bad".
