they don't have coverage anymore.

Those people have friends and family.

Take away medical care or social security: I doubt there is any amount of propaganda that will overcome that.

Of the 300,000 government workers Trump/Musk got rid of so far, how many will believe "This Trump thing sure worked out good for me!!"

Trump is underwater on nearly every issue except immigration where he's at ~51%.

Many authoritarian regimes have fallen because reality got in the way of propaganda.
