Very defeatist of you to suggest his base will always defend him, right after they appear to no longer be defending him
Only the most ardent propagandists are defending this killing. We have yet to see how it will play out, but you're telling us to give up already?
No. I won't give up as easily as you have. We will keep fighting
They will absolutely defend him. There was a clip that went viral a few weeks back from a podcast where leftist children chat politics with their MAGA parents and the seriously MAGA-pilled father said (paraphrasing here) that he'd be okay with his son getting shot and killed because of Trump because Trump must've had a good reason to order whatever killed his son.
You can also go to the leopardsatemyface community where you regularly see Trump supporters get fucked by Trump only to have them say they'll still support Trump.
They're also justifying the murders of American citizens with the "just obey. If you agitate them and you get killed that's your fault".
I'm not saying give up. I'm saying some parts of MAGA (hard to say how much) are so lost in the sauce I don't know what Trump would have to do to get them to change their mind.
There will always be a percentage that will follow their cult leader. But as things get worse you do see more move away. If in the lepordsatemyface community you see people regretting their vote (only because it harmed them) and swearing to no longer support Trump
With the beautiful propaganda machine and echo chambers they have built, those people moving away just come right back (and most never leave at all). Just look at the number of individuals on leopards ate my face the first time around, and note the numbers of trump voters in his three runs.
Oh, sweet summer child
Serious question, have you asked a Republican if they intend to keep voting Republican after these murders?
