A Reddit comment by user “Damichia480” in the “Conservative” subreddit reads:

It too late he straight up broke every campaign promise.

“No new wars” Bombed iran and is about to fund Urkaine like Biden did

“Mass deportation” not enough and is keeping the illegal immigrants working as slaves and H1B

“I will release the Epstien files” “The flies on my desk” - Pam Bondi. Recanted everything he said and say there no flies and Republicans BLOCKED the release

Patel was hired to take care of the deep state but he is no different from them

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

RIP MAGA we been terribly lied to and betrayed by the people that shouldve served us but they devolved into being part of the establishment.

Were they really that good, though? I'm not particularly intelligent and it has been obvious for years, and mindbogglingly obvious for the last ten.

I hate to say bit, but yes, they were very good. There's a fine line to walk when turning a functional democracy into a totalitarian fascist state. It was obvious to roughly half the population, but the other half bought the lie. It's not easy to keep that many people hoodwinked when there's a nearly equal number screaming the obvious. They did just enough, but didn't go far enough to tip the scales against them. Until now anyway.

I really really hope that this is the "new generation" of Republicans (the Vances, the Johnsons, the Hegseths) that could have taken it to the finish line that their predecessors (like McConnell) have spent their lives patiently moving the pieces to only to lose it all because these greedy idiots are speed-running the last mile and tipping the scales. Fingers crossed.

It worked so yeah. It's like bad music, people like it so how bad truly is it(really bad but still liked)

Yeah good point. Moderately okay at the grift. Though they did manage to grift their intended audience.
