street corner.
They would take over a corner on Meachem & Gulf Rd with flags; cardboard cutouts of TFG; banners; signs and mega-phones - yelling out their support for Tr**p. We're talking about 25 to 30 people each week. Sometimes more. Sometimes a little less. But their loyalty to Tr**p and their enthusiasm for him - never faltered.
This was done like clock work. Every Sunday - and they'd stay there till 3pm and then leave till the next Sunday.
Over the last couple of weeks - I've noticed that the numbers of MAGA's at this corner were dwindling. Fewer and fewer every week.
Until yesterday. Not one MAGA was standing and keeping vigil to Tr**p.
Do you think that they are finally getting it? That he's a treasonous, criminal con man and he's fooled them into supporting him all this time and took them for the rubes they are.
Are they hiding? Are they waiting for instructions from TFG; Fox News; the Repugs in Congress - to provide them with talking points as to how to handle TFG's latest and greatest - shot in the foot?
Or is this the beginning of the end for MAGA's and we've finally seen the last of them?
Has anyone else noticed similar dwindling support for TFG since his latest espionage fiasco?

(4,098 posts)Although it's a very small congregation,( maybe 10 cars in the lot during services) I had always noticed several Trump bumper stickers. There were none this week..antecdotal, but a hopeful sign.

(82,849 posts)By itself, probably not anything that can support a broader inference, but still encouraging. Let us know if they turn back up in time for the November elections or if they've had enough and gone home.

(22,685 posts)As long as we aren't deluded into thinking they've totally disappeared. We'll never really be free of their ilk. We can wildly hope some of them will be converted, even if that's a remote possibility. I'm going to try to stay hopeful.

(2,949 posts)I would occasionally point out his ignorance only to be bombarded with snide comments from his supporters on facebook. He seems to be alone in his bs now. I get no replies from his friends now. ???

(666 posts)Trump won my state by a very large margin and the Democrats were completely wiped out in state wide elections. Ever since the 2020 election there have been tRump signs and flags everywhere. Just in the recent last couple of months (almost coincides with the Roe decision-coincidence?) those signs and flags have almost completely disappeared. It's been a long time since I've seen a magat hat. I think the light is dawning on many people that they have been played like a cheap kazoo.

(28,079 posts)There have been huge letters spelling out TRUMP since 2020. They disappeared a few weeks ago.
Though I noticed a few days ago some signs for the idiot Republicans are running for governor gave appeared so whoever owns the property hasn't really seen the light.
