She will continue to vote Republican though, which is what matters since Trump can't run again anyway.

There have been people like that at each point of time since 2016. Until now, they were just tiny swarfs of a big table. The question is now whether it will still be just a tiny percentage of followers or an actual significant part of the base.

Did he pull a Hillary "basket-of-deplorables" Clinton?

Lol don’t cult leaders do this shit. It’s called Shunning.

Yes, cult leaders don’t bend to their followers. They shun them as the enemy or berate them as weak until they fall in line

[–] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 17 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Considering all the blatant illegal and immoral shit Trump does on a regular basis, for THIS to be the turning point is pathetic and absurd.

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Spoiler alert- this is not the turning point, these morons will still support him in spite of this

[–] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Trump disowned everyone who's upset about Epstein. MAGAs might be willfully ignorant, but they can't ignore that.

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I think you are delusional if you think there is anything MAGA morons can't or won't ignore. I live deep in MAGA country and nobody has taken down their MAGA flags and signs and none of the MAGA people I know are talking about this. The fantasy that this is what is going to finally cause people to wake up and abandon Trump is just a fairy tale told to liberals online to keep them hopeful. They could release video evidence of Trump raping a child on Epstein's island and it wouldn't change a thing. People who like Trump in 2025 have had plenty of chances to see evidence that he is a terrible person who actively hates them, but they have chosen to remain blind to it. I don't see why any particular issue would change that.

[–] Laser@feddit.org 12 points 3 days ago

Regardless of this particular issue, he is a convicted felon, so of course he's guilty

He doesn't need their support. Those dipshit clowns already gave this felon rapist traitor his second term.

And he's learned that he can just govern via executive orders because he has the SC in his pocket and our country is too weak to uphold our own Constitution.

[–] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Millions of useful idiots are about to see why letting the government do whatever it wants is a bad idea.

Was wondering when he going to say Epstein and Russia Russia Russia in the same sentence. Need a whole new bingo card now.

Those dang lefties! Even though they aren't in power and Trump has been driving the bus himself for quite a while, he's still managing to pin all the blame on them.

Too bad Mr. Trump is absolutely allergic to any kind of accountability. If his supporters and otherwise actually held this guy to task, he'd never get as far as he does. However, he's well practiced at sliming his way out of taking any kind of responsibility for his own failures, and this is just another instance of him sneaking away from a bad situation that he is absolutely involved in.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 46 points 4 days ago (1 children)

So, is he saying that Epstein wasn't a child sex-offender now? I thought he called him a creep, just the other day. Now it's all just a hoax?

Just leave this here

Edit: in case no one actually reads it... It's about a girl who may or may not exist... With ties to the Jerry Springer show... It's weird and doesn't actually prove anything one way or another...

The picture list is mostly false and she's the only name with any actual real claims true or not...

Probably leaves more questions than not... But makes you wonder why he's so against anything coming out...

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Here is her full testimony. It's a really hard watch.

Damn he's really taking this one personally. It's a mystery why.

“Unlike Republicans, they stick together like glue”

Let me stop you there fella. The only reason Republicans win as often as they do is cause Democrats have significantly less loyalty to their party than Republicans.

Glad to see Conservatives are seeing reality. Does not mean I will ever forgive them nor does it mean they are fit to live let alone breathe, but at least they are seeing reality.

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They don’t want your forgiveness. They hate you more than they could ever hate Trump, because you’re part of the out group. They’ll find excuses for pedophilia, rape, whatever… as long as the guy is hurting their “enemies”. Nothing Trump could do would make them abandon their hatred of you.

Does that tweet seem too well punctuated and spelled to have been him writing it? Doesn't seem rambling enough either.

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

The ALL CAPS word ratio seems low as well.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 17 points 4 days ago

This seems like an actual freakout that someone edited down. They probably took out all of the racist shit and added punctuation.

If you’re not a pedo, trump doesn’t want to be your friend. You need to put on your pedohat for the pedo in chief and simp for Netanyahu.

Doesn't want? Or doesn't need? Auto coup incoming in 3 years?
