Is MAGA dead?

[kentuck]

I hear numerous reports that MAGA "influencers" are very critical of Trump and are saying that high gas prices and war in Iran is not what they voted for. Also, they see the cover-up of the Epstein files and are none too pleased about that either.

If these mouthpieces for the MAGA movement desert the cause, will the cult follow them or will they remain loyal to their leader? From the recent polls, we might assume that some are leaving the movement.

But the point is, who gives a damn? They have already done their damage and now they want to walk away unscathed? Forgiven? Just a simple political mistake? They have learned their lesson?

It gives the appearance of rats jumping ship.

1. What I don't understand

Is they f'n knew all this and more, before they voted for the orange anus mouth.

Why change course now? Oh. Right. Trump's poll numbers are sinking faster than a big Mac in front of him.

7. The religiously insane just see him as delivering on his promise to end abortion and women's rights.

I work with someone who is otherwise normal, but kookoo on abortion and women's rights. I don't think they care about anything else.

11. They wanted to 'stick it to' the Dems...didn't think about themselves...

Too busy laughing. I’ve seen more signs…back then…election time..calling out almost everything Kamala was warning about trump…thought it was all lies cuz it came from a black female democrat.

They got what they voted for…now they are totally embarrassed and can’t handle it. The convenience store close to me was a MAGA hangout…selling all his merch…now…nothing.

14. Yup, "owning the libs" was the most important thing in the world to them.

But now that "he's hurting the wrong people!" and they are also getting "owned" along with their hated libs...well, it's not as much fun, is it?

[dem4decades]

2. They vote for him again because libruls don't like him.

[efhmc]

3. But unfortunately, that ship is our country.

[CrispyQ]

4. No. We've said all along Trump is a symptom, not the cause. Maga is the cause.

A trumper relative sent me a meme mocking No King's day, so I went over to the page where it was originally posted, & oh my! They are thick in it! Trump is great. He's doing what should have been done in the Middle East a long time ago. He's taken down two evil regimes. Inflation is the price we pay for bad governing by Biden & Obama. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

6. And they always support him 100%. Not 95%.

[TheFarseer]

5. No way

He still polls at 40% approve. The MAGA pundits that are speaking out don’t seem to represent anyone.

[BannonsLiver]

15. The last 2 public polls have had him at 36 and 33 respectively.

And before you reach for the average card, when right wing news aggregators like RCP include Trump friendly polls like Rasmussen it’s no longer credible. Anyway, he’s not at 40 percent. 😉

8. Dead in that they have reached the limits of their mental capacity.

They'll move on to something else.

[GoCubsGo]

12. Yeah, they'll just change their name.

Like they did when they called themselves the "Tea Party."

[GoCubsGo]

9. Well, they are braindead.

Does that count?

I don't think the movement is dead, but it does seem like it has begun to fall apart.

[Keepthesoulalive]

10. They are not getting their checks

Or their clicks.

[NEOH]

13. I Wish...nt

[BannonsLiver]

16. All movements eventually falter and collapse.

Despite what the Eyores think maga is not going to escape that fate. The only question is when.

[usonian]

17. Do they care more about ":issues" that have been blared 24x7x365xforever, or the core race hate and misogyny?

Elections seem to be won on the margins, so a little "stay at home and watch Captain Kangaroo reruns" on election day might work great.

[mwmisses4289]

18. Captain Kangaroo is to woke for them.

Veggie tales, on the other hand...

[2naSalit]

19. If not...

It won't be long.

[JI7]

20. Which "influencers" ? Benny Johnson is still propping up

the shit.

[Beringia]

21. It was pretty close looking back, but blue states look so isolated

[ForgedCrank]

22. Well, I

live in an area that is almost all MAGA and I can assure you, it is not dead, not even phased.
They consider current events to be something that was a long time coming and needs to happen.
They certainly aren't anymore happy about gas prices than I am, but their faith is definitely not shaken. I have to listen to it every day. I don't think there is anything that asshole could do that would discourage them from supporting him.

[Drum]

23. From the smell, I would say "Yes." nt
