    Remember when the Republican party was “eating itself” and a Democrat victory was in the bag before the 2024 election?

    Yeah they’ll be fine and come back more fascist than ever

      Well what are they gonna do about it? The mid term aren’t until November.

      MAGA, or ex-maga don’t have enough critical mass for stree protests. And even if they did Trump will shrug it off. Just like how he has die the no kings and anti ice protests.

      The only way to stop Trump is a general strike along the lines of the huge movements that succeeded in removing, in some cases their viciously murderous, evil, regimes, such as Euro Maidan (Ukraine) 2014, Romanian Revolution 1989, East German Revolution 1989 and the Philippine People Power Revolution 1986 to name but a few.

      It is possible.

      But you have to be planning and working out your roles. Not everyone will be jammed up against regime thugs batons and shields on the front line. Others will be legal aid, cooking food, supporting families of those who can’t work because their fighting for liberty, democracy and justice.

      Start by joining like mindes organisations. Start attending meetings. Get your neighbours, friends and family to dip their toes in.

      Promise them that their overdue riches are coming soon. MAGA doesn’t hate war, they hate the idea that someone other than them is getting financial help

        I can’t wait for another poll to shockingly show he’s slid to his lowest approval of 39% - again.

        I swear for the past half year I’ve heard every news agency post an article every other week about his support “slipping to 39%”

        Those polls are bullshit. I fully believe his actual support of the US populace is probably 25% TOP but the mass media is bought and polls are generally bullshit.

        They show a trend but they aren’t nearly as accurate as people think they are

      In a week every MAGA is going to be screaming how Iranian Feminists want to capture your kids and trans them at the antifa headquarters, so we have to eradicate Iran and everyone else Israel doesn’t like. we have to stop buying into hopeslop pandering headlines.

    “No new wars” Maga doesn’t seem to care about that

    “He’ll make the economy better” Maga doesn’t seem to care about that

    “He’ll making housing affordable” Maga doesn’t seem to care about that

    What do they care about? They keep backtracking on what’s important to them, it feels like they don’t actually care about anything except hurting people. What’s their agenda?

      Small people try to feel big by hurting others and blaming them for it.

      School bullies, narcissists, abusers, MAGA, authoritarian and dictators. Same song different dance.

      They haven’t grown up past playground drama.

      They will lie all day and say it is X or Y or Z, but you can exhaustively prove each one false and they will move to the next one in and endless list of excuses.

    Horseshit. Conservatives have been raising their children for a generation to believe dying for Trump’s America is a worthy cause.

    Raw Story is just like any other rag. They play to their demographics. There is no massive anti-MAGA outcry on X or any of the socials.

    Don’t let this bullshit lure you into a false sense of security. Conservatives are as committed as ever. The majority of them think the post-911 wars were justified, and that they were heroes for fighting in them. They also believe the Jews are the chosen people. They’re ready to send their kids to die in Iran. They’re nationalists and zionists. It’s their entire worldview. It’s in their bones.

    Don’t become complacent.

    So, MAGA, let’s check the scoreboard:

    • America First: tell it to Iran, Venezuela, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, NATO, et al.

    • Lower prices on Day One: past Day 400, and prices are higher than ever.

    • Deport all the illegal immigrant criminals: As well as innocent people, school kids, veterans, old people, sick people, American citizens, even MAGAs.

    • Lower Crime: Enforced by Paramilitary Death Squads roaming the streets and breaking out into spontaneous firing squads against people that piss them off for any reason.

    • Release the Epstein Files: Except any that mention Trump, or his friends.

    So why are you still on board? Is it the mind-boggling corruption, like openly accepting bribes in front of the entire world?

    Or is it the virtuosic incompetence? Like a health system that has caused the first measles epidemic in decades?

    I’ll bet it’s the Pedophilia. The one thing a MAGA can count on is that they’ll go the distance to cover pedophilia. THAT you can count on. And that’s important because…

    ALL MAGAs are Pedophiles.

    If Trump and his buddies molesting children on that big beautiful island did not shake his support base, nothing on earth will. Have you read the contents of that file? Whatever you read, I am here to tell that there is more and it is worse.

      I’m hoping for just one of those gun crazy nutjobs to actually get close enough.

      They did it with Kirk. The precedent is there. Just aim a little higher.

        I wouldn’t be surprised. There was a reason no poltical party wanted to engage these voters before Maga. They got the craziest people to vote. It lead to a insurrection of tard burgers. You can’t make up the levels of dumb it was.

        I hear you frustration. I want to see the legal system tie him up in court for the rest of his and all his accomplices miserable lives. They should never know peace until the day they die for turning on the American people, pitting families against each other, in the name of naked greed.

          I got a 3 day ban on Reddit for saying I’m team blood clot (:

          He looks like shit, but somehow evil keeps crawling on. Best example for why I continue to be an atheist, if god existed Trump would have been struck down by lightning a million times already.

            Hopefully a new president will emerge without vagina chin folds on the next go around. I have hopes that our princess Diana’s n the electoral college will choose the right king next time. Either way we must continue to pay our tribute. Be it in the form of abusive tariffs, abusive taxes, physical or mental abuse or just by being sent to fight a war that had no reason and no purpose. But at least they did wack the leader real quick. We should go for Putin while we’re nearby.

    Just like they don’t care if you’re a pedo, as long as you’re a Republican. They don’t care if you lie to them, as long as you’re a Republican. This is no end to MAGA and anybody claiming as much is not reputable.

    I just wonder if this horrible shit was done to distract from the Epstein files or because of the leverage provided by the Epstein files.

    I mean, if Epstein was a Mossad asset and therefore the president of the united states is a Mossad asset, they can really get some dirty work done with somebody else’s bombs.

    Please. The “revolt” is just some angry tweets as usual. Nothing will matter. Website needs clicks. Democrats will whiff. Sun rises. Etc
