Trump's supporters turn a blind eye to his corruption.

The daily lying, insider trading, grifting and driving allies away, and sucking up to former enemies. But thats all fine.

I think that's a safe assumption.. #crime #politics

The cult has no integrity, no conscience, and morals. The cult is all that matters.

Prior to 2024 election the talk around me in Jefferson Co WI was how THEY were going to tear down all the tax-sucking social institutions that protected Americans for 50 years.

They LOVED the idea of razing things. I suspect they really loved seeing the East Wing go down. The peculiar thing now is when they get sick they turn to raising money on the internet. They haven't got a cent for disasters but they expect other to help. It's like Christian giving turned inside out and placed on its head it's now Christian Begging cuz Jesus said screw medicaid and medicare

4. Not all supporters, or former supporters. A friend of my mother's was such a die hard Trumper that she was posting Trump

as Jesus images five years ago. She extolled the virtues of Trump so much on social media, that even her fellow MAGA friends were asking her to take it down a notch. There was no way I thought she'd ever change.

I was wrong. She is now officially anti-Trump. What did it for her was the war in Iran. I'm sure the tariffs, the Epstein files, price of gas and other things also played a part. She used to and maybe still does listen to Alex Jones and that also could have swayed her.

Her conversion suggests that Trump's hard core support is not as hard as he or we may think.
