    Remember when the Republican party was “eating itself” and a Democrat victory was in the bag before the 2024 election?

    Yeah they’ll be fine and come back more fascist than ever

      Yep, that’s the base cult right there. They will always support him. He could rape their own children and they would still support him

      We need to stop worrying about those who support him no matter what. 30% of Germans supported Hitler right up to the day he shot himself. You can’t reach some people. Stop wasting effort on them.

      Yep. I’ll be surprised if his numbers fall through the Sarah Palin Floor. Or the Nixon Resignation Floor.

    Have they been “ended” again? Wow, this must be the 100th time I’ve read that; certainly true this time, though! Thanks, Rawstory!

      This is the revolt that’s gonna do it! We promise!

      I’ll wait until Election Day (assuming we’re allowed to have those anymore) to see.

      Whether it’s true or not, having some of them believe it might encourage some of the cowards on the fence to leave the cult, and if it does i say thats a win.

      Definitely a frustratingly sensationalized headline though, total clickbait.

        How about, anyone leaving that cult at this point is not a coward? Some of these people just fell for the lies and are rather stupid and scared. Not saying we should give them a full pass, but we need to celebrate them waking up.

          Cowardice is defined as ignoble fear in the face of danger or pain. If they are falling for lies because they are stupid or scared, that is them being controlled by fear, which is cowardly.

          If you let someone manipulate you using fear, I consider you a coward. Fantastic if someone wakes up, then maybe we can re-evaluate their coward status, but until then I consider them cowards, personally.

    Correction: A few Magats shake their fists angrily and then crawl back under their rocks. The rest are strangely pleased.

      I’m hoping for just one of those gun crazy nutjobs to actually get close enough.

      They did it with Kirk. The precedent is there. Just aim a little higher.

        I wouldn’t be surprised. There was a reason no poltical party wanted to engage these voters before Maga. They got the craziest people to vote. It lead to a insurrection of tard burgers. You can’t make up the levels of dumb it was.

        I hear you frustration. I want to see the legal system tie him up in court for the rest of his and all his accomplices miserable lives. They should never know peace until the day they die for turning on the American people, pitting families against each other, in the name of naked greed.

    Give it a couple days. Every one of them will say they always 100% supported the war. Never thought Trump was in the wrong for even a second. Nope, not me.

    Wake me up when his numbers fall below the Sarah Palin/Nixon Resignation Floor.

    There are a certain set of people that support Republicans no matter what they do.

    Even if Republicans completely reverse themselves on things like elective wars (Pedonald attacking and/or threatening to attack several countries), taxes (tariffs for everyone!), and deficits (see Cheney’s comments on deficits).

    First of all bullshit. Cults gonna cult. This is how they do.

    Second of all - is rawstory unaware they’re spewing bullshit?

    Third of all - who among us is thinking “oh yeah that’s right - MAGA’s totally over now” ??

    yeah they lose a few former Obama voters. Big whoop.
