Is the Trump divorce from MAGA real?

[Thunderbeast]

We have a small get-away cottage in the upper Hood River Valley in Oregon. When visiting our place, we often use the back way (Tucker Rd.) to get there. In the past ten years, we have passed two “Trump shrines”... yards full of huge signs, flags, and banners. Each time we passed the houses, blood pressure rose, and fantasies of vandalism and fire visited my otherwise pacifist tendencies.

Imagine my joy yesterday, when ALL of the trumpist crap was gone from both properties! All that was left was an Israeli and a “thin blue line” flag next to old glory.

Has the Epstein outrage fractured MAGA? Are the red hats done with him? Did these folks finally realize that they had been duped by a mobster?

They will certainly find another messiah, but I can’t help but think that this is good news.

2. Sounds nice, but I'm not counting on it affecting any elections yet...

I'll believe that when I see it. Those folks have a strong ability to hold their noses and vote repub anyway.

3. Nope

This always happens, they're just waiting for whatever half assed excuse he comes up with, then they'll believe it.

4. You may be right, that has always been the case before for sure

Very soon the actions of the piece of shit will kill some of them like it will kill some of us or bankrupt us or make us homeless maybe then they will change their minds.

9. Having lived in Kerrville until a few months ago...

The floods and the lack of an alarm system changed no minds, just like the Uvalde shooting changed no minds.

5. Doubtful. They seem to lower their standards each time he

acts in manner more degenerate than the day before. The very same guys who once said (and may again before too long), 'honest! we had no idea there were ovens in the camps outside of town!' No objective reason for me to think that there's a low too low for them.

6. What I notice is that Trumps people

Are getting quieter, at least the ones I know. They know how bad he is but so long as he selfishly helps them lower their taxes and is mean to the left they don't care.

7. So....What happens when they figure out that THEY won't get enough tax relief to pay for a pound of hamburger?

....or will inflation still be Biden and Obama's fault?

10. Definitely they twist everything

And believe the rightwing media

8. Maybe, but they just don't know how to quit him, if you know what I mean.

Trump has dumped MAGA, but they haven't gotten the message yet. It's gonna hurt when they do.
