'End of MAGA': Trump's attack on Iran sets off revolt among angry supporters - Lemmy.World

Lemmy

So… not the paedophilia or the rampant curruption?
He built his name on those two things. Literally. That’s been his brand since the 1980’s: shady businesses, inflated real estate deals, and beauty contests. His base voted him in because they liked what they saw and wanted more of it nationwide.
No, that part reminds them too much of Pastor John, or whatever the guy is they go to on Sunday

No, that’s not how anything works…

“The straw that broke the camels back” isn’t just one heavy ass piece of straw.

It’s one thing, in addition to every single thing that came before it.

So its this and the pedophilla and rampant corruption, and everything else.

But… like… literally everyone can agree that pedoshit should always break the camel’s back. Like it’s literally universal across pretty much every demographic that nobody should protect a pedo and even the worst serial killing criminals in prison are still viewed more favorablly than pedos.
I’m sure they persuade themselves that this is only a conspiracy aganist dear leader. they’re idiots
That’s pretty much exactly what it is. They’re still buying whatever that Qanon “trump is working with secret agents embedded in the Deep state to dismantle the Clinton pedo ring” nonsense.
Have they been “ended” again? Wow, this must be the 100th time I’ve read that; certainly true this time, though! Thanks, Rawstory!
Truly a source for wildly sensationalized headlines
I wouldn’t be so quick to judge, Trump’s approval might temporarily drop by a whole percent!

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.

That 30% of Americans are never going to not support him
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
No he couldn’t. Maybe 20 years ago.
Hey, thats not fair, he could totally give them hand jobs two at a time
That’s the middle-out optimisation. 4 at a time, tip-to-tip.
In the age of AI I can’t believe he’s not deep throating two massive cocks
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.

The level of lawlessness Trump has wrought should disqualify his voters from having that privilege ever again.

I will die on that hill.

I wish we could make that happen.
It was a looot more than 30%
They actually supported him after he died, well into the 70s and 80s.
Yeah, good news more than 30% won’t vote so he is Presidente da vida.
Yep. I’ll be surprised if his numbers fall through the Sarah Palin Floor. Or the Nixon Resignation Floor.
Yeah go check the r/conservative cesspool and tell me that again. Click bait bullshit
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.
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.

Most are bots.
That subreddit is astroturfed like nobody’s business and their censorship makes North Korea look a bastion of free expression. I bet if you went into the comments right when it was posted you’d have seen some halfway reasonable takes, but those comments have all been deleted and their authors banned.
Finally they have woken up.

LOL doubt

the handful of Rs speaking up have just made themselves RINOs now, that’s all. nothing will meaningfully change

Too bad for them, then.

Trump ally Andrew Tate was even more blunt, writing, “NOBODY WANTS THIS WAR, ” before adding, “War transfers wealth from the working class to the banking class. So does fraud and inflation. The working class man simply cant catch a break and is endlessly wrecked. This is The Matrix - extraction from the populace to feed a machine minded host. Heartless.”

Ugh, we’re about to have to be up in arms alongside some real shit holes.
Grifter’s gotta grift. Buy its a good windsock for gauging where the popular winds are blowing. Dems are in the best position to capitalize on the shift, but I’m sure they’ll find new and innovative strategies to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again, since they’re owned by capital.
I mean Chuck Schumer is certainly going to be on the wrong side of this war.
God dammit. Devastating - it is in fact a good point. Surely he used ChatGPT to write this.

“Banking class”, and what demographic is infamously blamed for being money hungry bankers I wonder?

It’s not a great point its deflecting from the capitalist class and trying to change the scapegoat to a minority.

Worst person you know subverts a great point so people don’t reach it.

Don’t ruin my Sunday, now I need another shower.

End of MAGA, yeah right…

We’ve always been at war with Eastasia

Where? The maga channel I’m regrettably tapped in to is all “We gotta keep Iran from building nukes that they’ll use on Israel”. There’s a " we shouldn’t be Israel’s bodyguard " sentiment but they tend to get buried
Please. The “revolt” is just some angry tweets as usual. Nothing will matter. Website needs clicks. Democrats will whiff. Sun rises. Etc
Yeah right, they live for this shit
Doubtful. MAGA was always revolting, in all senses of the word.
Again. Didn’t epsein destroy them. Also its republicans. Maga is modern republicans, so is qanon, so was the tea party. They line up around any nutters that seem to drive elections. This is their brand there is not going back only shutding down and putting up a new shingle if they can find enough actual values to build something from the ground up and don’t just immediately betray any values. You have to build some capital before you start leveraging it.
Yeah right. Republicans are dumb sheep. They’ll all fall in like the lapdogs they are. Despicable traitors.
At this point I don’t think they’re going to turn ON him. But all they need to do is turn away from him. Then it’s every Republican for themselves, and they’ll scapegoat him (hopefully).

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).

Talk is cheap. They’ll still vote MAGA over ANY Democrat.
This is a stupid fucking headline.

So, MAGA, let’s check the scoreboard:

  • America First: tell it to Iran, Venezuela, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, NATO, et al.

  • Lower prices on Day One: past Day 400, and prices are higher than ever.

  • Deport all the illegal immigrant criminals: As well as innocent people, school kids, veterans, old people, sick people, American citizens, even MAGAs.

  • Lower Crime: Enforced by Paramilitary Death Squads roaming the streets and breaking out into spontaneous firing squads against people that piss them off for any reason.

  • Release the Epstein Files: Except any that mention Trump, or his friends.

So why are you still on board? Is it the mind-boggling corruption, like openly accepting bribes in front of the entire world?

Or is it the virtuosic incompetence? Like a health system that has caused the first measles epidemic in decades?

I’ll bet it’s the Pedophilia. The one thing a MAGA can count on is that they’ll go the distance to cover pedophilia. THAT you can count on. And that’s important because…

ALL MAGAs are Pedophiles.

It would be amazing if his own feral magats throw his stupid ass into a wood chipper. I’d watch that video on loop for days

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.

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.

“No new wars” Maga doesn’t seem to care about that “He’ll make the economy better” Maga doesn’t seem to care about that “He’ll making housing affordable” Maga doesn’t seem to care about that

What do they care about? They keep backtracking on what’s important to them, it feels like they don’t actually care about anything except hurting people. What’s their agenda?

it feels like they don’t actually care about anything except hurting people. What’s their agenda?

You already called it

Small people try to feel big by hurting others and blaming them for it.

School bullies, narcissists, abusers, MAGA, authoritarian and dictators. Same song different dance.

They haven’t grown up past playground drama.

They will lie all day and say it is X or Y or Z, but you can exhaustively prove each one false and they will move to the next one in and endless list of excuses.
