I don't know, a lot of them seem to think:

  • The rapes were fabrications to discredit Trump
  • The rape of children was a fabrication to discredit Trump
  • Eliminating public services is part of a plan to get better public services
  • Environmental regulations weren't based on anything real and was about kickbacks to regulators

Etc.

I'd like to know what that woman thinks now, if she realizes the lies.

I'm not at all a gambler but I would wager a hefty sum that she doesn't.

I was talking to my republican neighbor, whom I've been loosly trying to unindoctrinate, she's still on board with him but isn't a complete maga loon. She's more the " I've just always been a Republican. " type. When questioned about being in the Epstein files a million times, or being found liable for rape, or any of the other million things, she just says, " well I don't know about that, I don't support that stuff. " like support is some sort of buffet where you can pick what you want.

Most of the people that support or have supported him are so shallow you couldn't drown mouse in them. From all of my experience growing up in rural deep red maga country, they're all either complete morons, complete hateful assholes, or a mix both.

Nah, actually talk to these people and it's pretty clear they don't care. They can't say they don't care, so when you present them evidence they just say "I don't know about any of that" and pretend they didn't see it. You walk them through, logically, without any evidence, and get them to realize on there own that Trump is evil, and it turns into this meme:

Thats why I'm curious about one that admitted to being wrong, I want to know what she thinks about those things now that she considers a vote for Trump to be a mistake.

Generic MAGA is exactly as you say, thats why I'm curious about a "no longer MAGA" scenario

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm not even convinced these people are no longer MAGA. At this point MAGA is pretty much a ditch you die in, your family has already cut contact with you, and you've dealt more damage to yourself and your country than either can recover from. Like a ball rolling downhill, all roads lead back to MAGA for those that side with pedophiles.

Basically, she's mad about this but when he comes out and states that we won the war on Iran and have made oil free around the world and have also started world peace, she's going to be in the stands again.

Entirely possible! Thats why I'm curious about what she thinks now though, aside from her admission on camera.
