    people that are likely to turn on him

    i think you’re underestimating just how brainwashed these people are. just the other day there was an article about a guy who lost his dream job in govt. because doge, and he STILL couldn’t muster the gumption to say maybe trump was a fucking bad idea

      Even in that quote alone there’s 1 out of 3 who regret their vote. If we extrapolate to the group who voted economically, that’s 10% of his voters. That’s way more than enough to change the election outcome next time around. Yes there many who are brutally brainwashed, perhaps most, but we don’t care about most. We care about 5-10% to change their minds. While I don’t pretend my little extrapolation here is scientific in any way, I think that’s achievable. 🥹
