We can do this, America.

Every time Trump does something else horrific, I see people sharing the content on social media and asking what more it could possibly take for his supporters to abandon him. “Surely this must be the breaking point, right?”
Today it is the disgusting racist caricature of the Obamas, last week it was evidence of Trump's horrific crimes from the Epstein files, and next week it will be some fresh new display of evil.

I think it speaks to the sincere empathy of those who earnestly inquire if this newest development is finally the tipping point, if this latest demonstration of criminality, racism, pedophilia, or corruption is enough, because they imagine that if only Trump supporters could see how hateful he is, then they would abandon him.

The trouble is that his supporters already know all these things...and they love him all the more for them.
Save yourself the effort. They do not care.
Something has absolutely rotted the minds and consciences of a significant portion of the population, and that thing is sheer, unadulterated hatred. They don't care if they are suffering as long as someone they hate is suffering more.
There’s not a moment coming that’s going to turn them around.

People pointing out how Dearborn or “never Kamala” people voted (or didn’t) aren’t saying “they deserve this.” They’re saying: “you don’t get perfect choices in elections. If you cling to the (obviously false) idea of the high ground of ‘both are bad,’ then decisions get made without you—and the outcome is usually the worst option.”
This goes for many other issues as well.

It's hilarious to see Republicans losing their shit for Democratic-led states doing exactly what Texas did.
They're upset because Democrats are fighting back, because the default expectation for Republicans is they get to wreck things and Dems have to play by the rules.

Democrats were constantly told that it was out of touch to accurately describe the Biden economy as good, sometimes from people allegedly on the left.
Then Trump was allowed to swoop in and just say "I will make everything better on day one" without any pushback at all from the media or almost anyone else.
And now, reality. The Biden economy was good. This one isn’t.
FACT FOCUS: Trump says tariffs have created an economic miracle. The facts tell a different story:

President Donald Trump claims his tariffs have revived the U.S. economy, calling it an “American economic miracle.” The Republican argues that tariffs have boosted growth and reduced inflation. However, the facts tell a different story. The U.S. economy was already growing before Trump's second term. During the first three quarters of the year, Trump’s tariffs — or the threat of them — delivered mixed results for the American economy. Inflation figures are skewed by data disruptions, and tariffs have actually increased core goods prices. Trump also claims foreign producers bear most tariff costs, but studies show U.S. consumers and firms are affected.
