At this point, I don’t think much of anything is going to make MAGA realize they’ve been conned. Even if they do understand it on a subconscious level, they’ll be too embarrassed to admit it.

I don’t think it’s that they’re afraid to fight back - there’s been a lot of pushback on Musk/DOGE, but the fact is that they don’t really have the power to do anything.
What would you like to see them do that they aren’t currently?

Even if he’s not an official Russian asset, he’s working his way down Putin’s Christmas list at record pace, so I think that’s probably a distinction without a difference.

The travesty will end when cholesterol does us a solid or the GOP grows a spine.
The only other option we really have is a sustained protest that gridlocks DC and/or much of the nation, and I’m not convinced the American people have the attention span for that.

I think if he actually goes after Social Security in any meaningful way, the dam will likely break.
They all understand that they’ll almost certainly lose 40 states if anything happens to Social Security.
The problem for them is that Trump doesn’t give a shit about their re-election prospects.

I think we will, yes.
Depending on the midterms and just how much he’s allowed to get away with destroying in the next two years, we will very likely emerge as a very different country than we are today.
We’ll survive, but there’s gonna be a lot of rebuilding.

Their explanation was that it was unclassified… in a SCIF, but that he didn’t actually get any top secret information on our war plans with China.

Nobody is coming to save us, no. Thankfully, we have the infrastructure to save ourselves.
Aside from preparing to vote all these idiots out, the most important thing we can do is get ready to take to the streets.
If we’re going to protest, it can’t be a one-off. It’s gotta be big, and sustained.
