A really stunning amount of people, when confronted with evidence during the campaign (i.e. project 2025 or tariffs or what have you) simply chose to swallow whatever one sentence dismissal Trump issued; “Oh, he said he’s never heard of P2025”, “oh, no, we don’t pay tariffs, the company does”, etc. I know a fair amount of them now that are quietly eating crow and upset with the way things are going. The hot new thing I’ve noticed with the more normal half of MAGA right now is trying to come up with reasons why Trump is “acting so weird”.

I could give them a few reasons if they’re struggling to come up with their own.
