…….wait for it ….they will be begging in 2026

rdendurance.bsky.social•189 days ago

They will bungle it. The backlash will be intense and it will be quick post their attempts to control narrative through the right wing news/social media.

colldez61.bsky.social•189 days ago

But will they ever acknowledge it?

"...and it looks like you've been HAD!"

suzibresist.bsky.social•189 days ago

You would think but they are so brainwashed

suzybquezy.bsky.social•189 days ago

Start with the deduction for private jets.

feklar669.bsky.social•189 days ago

Regrettably, the most hardcore MAGAts lack the very basic level of awareness required to realize they've been had.

They will be told, incorrectly of course, who is responsible, and who to hate for the disasters to come.

Story this week, a guy's mother had cancer
Got treatment, survived

Someone told his son "that ACA plan she has will be killed"
No idea ACA = ObamaCare
Voted Trump

Latinos/Muslims/Seniors for Trump
You're next
Deportations, Gaza leveled, SS and Medicare cuts

You're all painfully stupid

afinegirl.bsky.social•189 days ago

Good friend looking for health insurance bc spouse is disabled and lost it for them. Didn't like ACA rates and so asked me how they could find the obamacare site to look at it. Google kept putting them back on the same marketplace. Sums it up pretty well sadly...

I’m sure that some of them have come to this realization, but maga will cling to the sinking ship all the way to the bottom just to own the libs.

ourshallowstate.bsky.social•189 days ago

No, I think there's a breaking point, actually a series of them. But when they reach that first breaking point, it won't be about embracing the Left, that's a long way away. It'll be chagrin toward the Trump admin. The Trump admin won't care much, so that then becomes the next escalation - RW noise.

edenzer.bsky.social•189 days ago

You don’t think that there’s at least a percentage that gets they’ve been conned, but refuse to admit it because they have invested a big chunk of their identity in their “movement”?

ourshallowstate.bsky.social•189 days ago

Yes. Of course. It's called cognitive dissonance, and it's very powerful.

indigocricket.bsky.social•189 days ago

Someday they'll figure it out but for now they are celebrating owning the libs.

juliemainstreeter.bsky.social•189 days ago

Their rhetoric confirms lack of empathy which makes them particularly lethal

joanronhock.bsky.social•189 days ago

You would think they would know this. I can't stand to hear them say things were so much better when he was in office, all I can say is buckle up buttercup to all MAGA's

ianford.bsky.social•189 days ago

The key is not to take it for granted that they will make the connection. Starting right now you need to keep pushing the message to everybody you know that all the problems they will experience are the fault of trump & friends.
All the time.
Every day.
Don't let up.
Make sure they *own* everything.

ianford.bsky.social•189 days ago

The hardcore Maga people are probably too far gone - it's the low information voters that you need to convince and concentrate on. It'll take less time and energy to convince a low info voter than try to get a Maga nutter to come to their senses.

bunnymcgee.bsky.social•188 days ago

Something about the message doesn't ring true. Supporters complained about the price of eggs, yet voted for the party that demands austerity. And this is why they rejected the Democrats?

misscrowdcontrol.bsky.social•189 days ago

They are scamming the USA and the red hats welcomed it. I can't wait to hear the screams.

mwayne2.bsky.social•189 days ago

It’s called abundance for the few and scarcity for everyone else.

misscrowdcontrol.bsky.social•189 days ago

Russia, right here.

domainophile.bsky.social•189 days ago

In their vision of a new America, they own you. You need them. They have all the money and they make the rules. They own your future because they control your life and even your body. They are your hope, and they exploit you to increase their riches. Austerity for thee is the writing on the wall.

ivanvonlipschitz.bsky.social•189 days ago

They don't care if they suffer as long as others suffer too

kimsimmons11.bsky.social•189 days ago

Do you think they'll get past the cognitive dissonance when the wheels start to come off for them, or will they double down on the koolaid?

ourshallowstate.bsky.social•189 days ago

They'll recognize elements of deceit in the new administration and be pissed, but they have such distrust in institutions/government, that the first reaction will be to roll eyes and blame "all politicians." Getting past dissonance will take longer. Getting them to un-demonize the Left - way longer.

kimsimmons11.bsky.social•189 days ago

Makes sense. Thank you. 💙💙💙
