That's what they do they go silent because they know they are wrong. And they already know they are going to get shunned and ashamed everyday for the rest of their lives because they are on the losing side and they know it
He lost the military. The last thing the Kremlinites in D.C. care about are U.S. military. We have over 100,000 military personnel scattered over Europe on air bases, army garrisons, & naval bases. Billions in assets. Trump administration endorsed Putin's invasion of Europe & aligned with Kremlin.
During a phone conversation last night my MAGA mother abruptly veered off topic ranting about how Elmo was finding SO much corruption and stolen money in our government and how he was a “genius “ who had “invented everything.” MAGA is allergic to evidence. I’m not convinced that will change.
Same. My mom is the sweetest lady ever too…. but she bites like a rabid dog if you try and wean her off FAUX. I beg her to watch something else but she won’t.
Mine won't either. It's amazing. My dad used to listen to NPR all the time in my childhood and then started listening to Rush Limbaugh. Then it was Fox News all the time. They are glued to it. It was really bad in 2016. I felt nauseous being around them. Went no contact until late 2021 for my sanity
That's why I don't say a word. It makes some Trump supporters dig in deeper. There seems to be a group who will cut their nose off to spite their face.
I am hoping if they are not forced to defend their prior vote, they will work to save themselves.
It’s so hard. We weren’t even talking politics because we have an agreement that we won’t discuss our vastly different political opinions. We were talking about my daughter’s ASD. I guess that was a Segway for her to bring up Elmo. I went no contact for years and they still haven’t learned to zip it
I wish the ones Magaland, IL would wake up and STFU!!
They’re still simping and twisting themselves up making excuses for this dumpster fire of an administration.
They need to start speaking out. The Republican party needs to stand up to Trump and they won't do that if their supporters remain silent. Do not count on the midterms to bring this to an end. If Trump can figure out how to cancel them he will and there will be no oversight. Resist America
Maybe now is the time to start gently guiding them into a place where they can see they were conned. They can direct all their manufactured rage at trump
They are "taking a break from politics" so they don't have to see the catastrophe their votes caused. Another in a long list of reasons to despise his supporters.
Well Jess, when they have no Medicaid, snap, elderly care in nursing homes and people start dying, I bet they still stay silent. The idea of accepting responsibility for being wrong is not in their DNA. It is truly disgusting
I hope that's a sign that they are listening and comphrending the damage he has done. Must be that the cuts are now going to directly affect them and theirs
Didn't that also happen before the last election? A bunch of Trump people were quiet, then voted for him. Silence for them can just mean acceptance. Best of luck down there. From Canada.
Not a moment too soon.
Coming out with selling gold coins to buy US citizenship and taking it away from brown skin people born here says hypocrisy like no other. Not counting the electoral implications. (Great reset my ass). How much of a cut does he get?
Dumbfounded that they got swept up in the decrees of their divinely appointed ruler. They are in for even greater heartache soon thanks to the blundering being tolerated by the right.
In a way you are right, but I also think it's less shame rather fear how they will foot their bills and rather go quiet instead of openly admit their beloved leader is messing with their livelihood. Definitely no money left to buy Trump's overpriced trinkets now, that's a good thing, right? 👍
My university is busy scraping any variation of dei or the full words from the website, despite the Govs office saying on Wednesday that the UM system isn’t included. My MAGA dentist and eye doctor today were happy as clams.
A neighbor I see from our backyard has flown dumfuk flags under the US flag for months.
Carter passed and the US flag was alone half staff.
Flag went back up on inauguration day, alone.
Looked the othe day, the house is for sale.
It's likely the only reason he isn't flying the dumfuk flag.
I live in Phoenix/Scottsdale and there are many "Krasnov" lovers however I am seeing less and less flags and bumper stickers than I did a few months ago, even on cars in my neighborhood that I *know* had stickers and flags
I have one in my neighborhood, on a busy street, that says “Honk for Trump.” I always wonder if people actually do, and the surrounding neighbors hate it.
For over 8 years, there was a roadside store with convicted felon’s flags. In 2016 it was a large sign. During term 1, a large flag was added. When President Biden was in office it grew to over 20 of varying sizes. On 2/15 no flags, but closed. Today open and NONE. I guess they are in #FAFO stage.
That's funny, I didn't think they EVER shut up. My experience over the past 8 yrs has been that because I'm white they assume I'm like them. They never hesitate to blab their opinions into your face as if you automatically agree with them.
I don't live there, but I frequent the good sites where they loved to wait in ambush
definitely quieter
less fight
probably starting to wonder if trouble is here for them too
all-the-while, not a single one will have a self-realization as what they have assisted in doing.
100% agree
When he was a Trumper, I refused to discuss politics with him.
I’ve just continued with it - still don’t discuss it with him.
But he’s been bringing up the subject on his own. He hates the tariff threat, etc. etc. And I just nod but say nothing about ‘that guy’, myself 🙂
I live in “Trump Territory”, Arizona.
SAME THING.
The Trump Jeep that rode up and down Main Street 5 times a day is gone. I thought we’d hear the MAGAts gloating left & right. I thought I’d see Trump flags a’flyin’. Not so much.
The died hard will always have a reason for excuses for trump it’s pointless trying to explain that why any rational person wants to keep all his campaign promises and unleash the chaos and disarray he so desperately wants. We will have a dictator and possibly a life president.
I’d have more hope if they weren’t continuing to consume lies as news. Farmers and blue collar workers listen to free AM hate radio all day and then Fox News or worse once home.
Hopefully, most of them are realizing he lied to them. I know that that is being generous, but I believe that in order to save our country, we will need everyone. I'm probably naive, but I hope that they understand hate hurts everyone.
🫤. There are 4 houses I know of that had Trump flags near me. Besides the big idiot who never has taken them down, only one other house still has one flying. Not that it means anything….
It is going to be painful for them to admit that they were lied to and that this charlatan could not care less about them. Some may never be able to come to terms with it and will still support him as his polices are literally killing them and their loved ones.
I didn’t vote for him. I do know many that did that aren’t MAGA. They just wanted cheaper prices and they were lied to. Many are only politics adjacent and the multiple lies and misinformation campaigns worked on them.
Please make sure they understand he’s selling green cards to Russian oligarchs because they are jealous Elon is getting all the riches! These oligarchs will help him turn us into what Russia has!! People without indoor plumbing while the elite class robs them blind!
I live and work in deep MAGA territory. Yep, they have gone quiet. I hope that silence is used to think about their past choices. They let go several civil servants that screamed at me for not voting 🍊💩. They are in the FO phase
In Nebraska, rural residents, hundreds, showed up to an scheduled meeting with Don Bacon and Flood to learn about federal cuts. They were barred from entering in groups more than 5 and could submit questions in writing to unnamed “staff”. Pissed doesn’t begin to describe their response.
If only Omaha and Lincoln’s votes would have counted, Harris and Walz would have gotten five instead of one of Nebraska’s electors. Rural Nebraska needs to definitely wake up. Sad to see these generally good people falling for GOP and MAGA garbage year after year.
Seriously, if you live in a red area, go to the grocery store and count the amount of red hats you see. Might just be me, but they don’t seem so proud right now…..
I am seeing a lot of conservative media types and politicians arguing the bad stories are examples of something called "malicious obedience," which apparently means cuts are being made, but in a way that makes Trump and DOGE look bad. Which is certainly a unique excuse.
Seeing the same thing in my other social media feeds! I've seen a lot of Trump regret comments on posts as well. The old "this is not what I voted for."
After three op-eds in my rural hometown’s paper talked of family who lost federal jobs and Musk as an unelected buffoon, a maga relative said, “You can’t believe everything you read.” And then complained about immigrants.
I wandered over to the Veterans for Trump Facebook page after reading about today’s layoffs.
They have not posted since Inauguration Day.
Crickets over there.
I'm still hearing well he sure knows how to get things done! And I say how do you know he's getting anything done? They say bc he shows the EO's & tells us what they are......🤷♀️🤦♀️
Yeah, I've noticed MAGA relatives getting very quiet suddenly. I was explaining what was going to happen until I lost my voice, and now they seem to realize they are targets too. Just like I said they would be.
Well, i live there too and it's true. partly the cognitive dissonance. Trump changes what he says and believes so often, that they struggle to keep up, and when they are in catchup mode. They go quiet. The last thing they want to do is say something Trump was pushing a week ago but now is against.
You said in a previous post that the democrats better get to rural America right now because they are realizing that they are being hurt by Trump. Who do you think would be a good communicator? I am not a rural person so I don’t know who can break through but I would pressure the right people.
Tim Walz but I dont know what his plan is. But you are right, they should all be going to every state and hold town halls, and they should be marching with us at the protests, so far the protests have been peaceful in my state anyway, but we need some muscle.
I’m getting back from a month in SE Asia, there must have been some Iowa Corn Growers junket flying back to the U.S. as there must have been 20+ people with corn grower logos on their backpacks.
I stifled the urge to ask, “How ‘bout those tariff?” and other anti-Trump barbs but held my tongue.
I hear it when people say they were lied to, etc. But regardless- what about the hate he was telling them? There are no excuses when one hears hateful words and are just ok with that. Especially if you tell me that person represents the party of family/christian values.
I lost a friend of 11 years to MAGA. She’s telling me that she is sorry that her most important belief system, Christianity, makes me uncomfortable. Fun fact - I’m a Christian. When I ask her to clarify she won’t. I alternate between sad and angry
Same here in rural Virginia. They're waiting to see if the cuts that affect them will actually stick because President Elon has been reversed many times.
Somebody tell me—do you believe they’re having second thoughts or just being quiet to avoid ridicule? There were lots of comments before the election that MAGA signage was a lot less than 2016 and rally attendance was down, but they still voted for the felon.
While veterans/spouses/Guard/Reserve lose their jobs. Germans were silent too when Hitler took power. They approved or were too afraid to speak up. Look at Joy Reid. Highly qualified Admirals and Generals being fired. Who is speaking up for them now? Who will be left to speak up?
But how long before they speak out against him? Abet, to speak out against him & to say they were wrong, that will be nearly impossible for most! Equally impossible to admit that of Elon their idol number 2!
And yet I guarantee if there was an election tomorrow they'd be beating each other off with a brown person to be the first to vote for him.
Hatred trumps common sense.
I just overheard a conversation at lunch the other day with one telling his tablemate "I don't care if they [Trump and Elon] steal trillions from us" as long as they stop others from ruining America.
My friend drives school bus and she said almost everyone of the drivers voted for Trump. Now they are all mad because they realize they might lose their jobs. Amazing how quiet it has gone now. She was one of the few who understood what might happen

We need them to speak out against Shitler.
- they know they’re wrong, and
- they’re pussies

Don't shop Friday !!!

It's likely the only reason he isn't flying the dumfuk flag.
Plus, a normally very rabid Trumper that I know said yesterday,
"I don't get Trump lately. He's really messing things up."
I nearly fainted. Lol
definitely quieter
less fight
probably starting to wonder if trouble is here for them too
all-the-while, not a single one will have a self-realization as what they have assisted in doing.
They won't admit being wrong
He now simply refers to Trump as 'that guy'.
When he was a Trumper, I refused to discuss politics with him.
I’ve just continued with it - still don’t discuss it with him.
But he’s been bringing up the subject on his own. He hates the tariff threat, etc. etc. And I just nod but say nothing about ‘that guy’, myself 🙂

I mean, it’s too late. He doesn’t need supporters. He’s in there. Done.
So, don't they like being screwed over by Trumpy Dumpy?
Cowards
Now on to step 2 - voicing their concerns and how they’ve been harmed
#FAFO
What a SCAM they are running!!

Too little, too late.
