I think Trump has badly underestimated the importance his base puts on this issue. They have been being pilled hard by Qanon and right-wing conspiracy types for years and this issue was the one real thing that they had to point to.

Trump telling them to "get over it" after they were certain he was going to release all of thse names is pushing them into new places.

There is a specific message board that I lurk to, rarely, but at times. These are the most MAGA of MAGA, true believers. Makes FR look like centrists.

They are insensed, and many of them openly calling Trump out on it. I've never seen anything like it there. Not only that, it's bleeding into other issues. The are now talking about high grocery prices, gas not coming down, stocks not improving, etc.
