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.

Will they stay cracked or will they just go back to their knees. That's the real question.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 17 hours ago

Stay cracked. It may take years to work out, though.

No, cults do not have permanent control over peoples minds. People do leave. When there's big events like this that expose problems in the group, lots of people towards the edges will take off. Those who remain are the really devoted ones. It may take decades or even centuries to truly disappear (there's still a few Shakers out there), but MAGA doesn't have to shrink that much before it's no longer a meaningful political force.

My relatives cannot admit the cracks exist because Mormons support this horseshit and they can’t stray from the church. It’s so goddamn depressing to see otherwise educated adults just parroting idiotic fox sound bites

Did you intend this to sound like that NIN song

Unless he releases all the evidence he’ll lose about 75% of his base, they won’t drop this it’s a core belief.

Considering their attention span, that's only a real problem if taco can't come up with a good smoke screen

All he had to do was slow walk a sham investigation he must be seriously dementia riddled if he thinks this is preferable.

WSJ article dropping soon, and Trump just said he won’t appoint a special prosecutor. He will tweet something stupid again soon he can’t help himself.

5 to 1 he looses less than 5% even for this.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 16 hours ago

Arguably, you may have already lost that bet, or close to it. Depends on how you measure the results. Trump's approval rating this week is 41%, which is 1.6 points down from last week. 5% of 41% is about 2 points.

This is one of those issues where people won't come back when they leave.
