You do realize, I trust, that there is a vast gulf between realizing Trump is a mess and actually changing the baseline ideas that go with voting R? Trump is an extreme version of modern Republicanism. I'm pretty sure that the number of sad MAGAs who are going to switch their votes is vanishingly small.
If this person is going to vote for Vance or Rubio or whoever runs in '28, then there's no purity test being applied. They continue to be stupid. They continue to believe the crap that FOX feeds them, just without the Trump part.
When former MAGAs start showing up on DU, let me know. That's when we'll need to debate purity tests.

Not the ones here. They're full steam ahead with tRump still. They are enamored with what he's doing

And years from now they will probably also deny ever supporting Trump in the first place.
