(29,526 posts)That's the funny part of this. They thought Trump was one of them, until he wasn't.

He doesn't need votes anymore.

(70,209 posts)It is obvious that these are his goals.
He should achieve that quickly, he is making money hand over fist since Nov 5.

Oligarch Donald Trumpf rallying the great unwashed masses in Jan 2020.
Now many disillusioned MAGAts see the reality of their predicament as demonstrated in the social media posted above.

But after cynically using and now jettisoning his supporters, Trumpf will need them in 2026 to maintain the razor-thin GOP majority in Congress.
So, will these angry gun-loving, racist, ersatz Christian xenophobes idiotically vote Republican in 2026?

(872 posts)One thing I don't hear anyone talking about is what a political pundit said a while ago "I keep waiting for the election where people show up to say thank you." It's the party out of power that usually has the energy, the excitement...complacency ALWAYS sets in when your party is in the White House (2022 was an exception-which made me hopeful for 2024). The MAGA idiots were not going to show up in 2026-I don't think they will at all if things keep going the way they have started for them....he promised them the moon. Mass Deportations! Lower grocery prices! A govt. full of Brownshirts! He will have a very hard time keeping any of these promises and/or having some of them survive court challenges, esp. in front of the 236 Democracy respecting judges that Pres. Biden appointed.

Yes, I'm ashamed and embarrassed to admit that I understand this stuff, especially at my age.

(109 posts)If the MAGA morons and those who couldn't bring themselves to vote for a Black woman of color had paid any attention to Trump's undying loyalty to no one other than himself, they might have voted more responsibly. They didn't, the country will suffer for their ignorant choice.
