Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The maga civil war has begun…? Hopefully.
It will be short lived. They’d still vote for him. Nothing unites them more than their hatred, desire to piss off the libs, and inflict pain on those they disagree with.
Nothing lasts forever especially in today's trend-swinging world. Just like skinny jeans eventually found their way to the back of the closet, Trump WILL wear off and people will start flipping.
I don't know when that will occur but I am certain it will, just out of basic consumer indoctrination. Heels to flats to heels to flats.
I notice all the Trumpers who found it fun to poke me during the first term are silent now, as if they don't want the subject brought up anymore.
Followed by "Well I don't know whoever voted for him! I sure didn't!" (red hat ashes in the trashcan).
I just think that once the Trump regime is finished we should all make sure that the people we know that supported him never forget that they supported Trump. I mean last time a bunch of asshats voted for Bush Jr. and then went on to pretend they didn't know the guy.
I do believe the same as well. I live in a small rural town with a lot of Trump supporters. Since this Epstein thing has been handled so poorly.A lot of the people who support him have been very quiet. There are a few houses that have a lot of Trump flags and signs all over their house. Most have been replaced with just American flags. But we are still over a year away from midterms so a lot could change either good or bad and with the election still three years awayI am almost certain Trump will still attempt to run for a 3rd term and we will see what his supporters see and feel about that.
