    They aren’t changing any Trumpist minds. They just aren’t. The stock market could reach zero valuation and theyd still be shilling for Trump.

      While youre right, the MAGA core is a small portion of US voters. Even if it was half the Republican voters, thats about 15% of total US voters. They are a minority that pretends to make up 90% of the population. Get the turnout up and convince those brainwashed by Fox news and you got yourself a 70-30 win.

        Not possible as long as 90% of the public just need to be told that trans people are evil. I’m sorry man. I’m glad you’re optimistic but I’m increasingly convinced this is going to end in violence.

          I don’t want it to end in violence but with the really bad recession or even depression that is headed our way… there’s no way to keep people together over that. Too many people will lose too much.

            And even worse? They’re losing it all while the offending political party mocks and belittles them. Yeah, it’s gonna get bad. They fly Trump flags in front of their houses and wear the merch and decorate their offices with it so…

            It won’t be hard for the resistance to find them.

              I think a lot of the working-class Trump voters will protest once the economy gets bad enough. Not with us, but I don’t think they’ll be able to take it when enough of them lose their jobs.

                all those farms going under, and being bought out by tyson and other mega-corp farms. and they still think he would do the right thing. remember the soybean tariffs.

          Oh Im absolutely convinced this is going to end in either violence (which would be the better alternative) or a dictatorship enslaving the majority of the US population for corporate profit while waging war as a side hustle. I was just commenting within the scenario of elections in 4 years, which will not happen. Fascists dont give up power for democratic reasons.
