I voted for Trump in 2016 . . . because I was lied to and I fell for it

    I am aware of at least one real instance of this happening. Not the hat burning, but my wife is Facebook friends with an old coworker of hers who is self-identified MAGA. This is his latest post, under the Trump/Jesus picture:

    Always been a fan of the guy, but the last 3-4 months I’ve lost all respect for him. Has turned into Israel’s puppet with this war, turned the entire world against us by joining a side that is quite literally murdering thousands of innocents left and right in Gaza and Lebanon, and now posting this blasphemous shit, on the day of Orthodox Easter, no less. Fuck him.

    I don’t know if this is happening in numbers significant enough for it to matter, but it’s one real case.

      I live in a purple area. I’ve seen some homes take down their maga flags. While it doesn’t necessarily mean they turned on him, they’re at least less enthusiastic. On the other hand, I’ve also seen homes double down and add more maga flags or the tpusa flag.

      Eh.

      I don’t really care about this whole “they’re turning against him” thing. These are stupid, stupid human beings. They’ll vote for the next child rapist felon the GOP props up. Because stupid humans make stupid decisions.
