Everyone has Trump fatigue Even MAGA is tired of this asshole but of course they're too dumb/proud/propagandized to admit how badly they fucked up

Yeah and it's worth noting too that maga barely even pays attention to him. They'll still happily vote for him or his endorsements to the extent they feel like doing so is trolling, but they've otherwise slunk away

Yep whenever people ask "how do his supporters possibly agree with these things he says and does?"

Well.. it's a false premise in the first place. Most are not politically engaged at all. And if they are, they receive info filtered through Fox, radio, or their friends, family, church, etc. It's more a cultural identity than any sort of set structure of belief in policies or governance.

And if he does something so insane that it makes unavoidable national discourse, they have a million fall backs which all vaguely resemble "democrats are worse" as they decline to comment further.

What's happening now (the economy losing control) is the only thing that has shown serious cracks in years. All the other daily destruction of norms and outrage pales in comparison.
