Sadly, all of that isn't enough for MAGA. Trump vetoing literally everything would even look bad to them. Consider this, a MAGA veteran has his benefits slashed bcz Trump vetoed a bill with bipartisan support. Even the most indoctrinated would take notice of that.
Name one thing Trump could veto that MAGA would care about.
Yes, but have you considered that that's a GOOD thing from many a MAGA veteran's perspective? A conservative will endure losing benefits as long as it means bad people (aka those of wrong skin colour) also lose it. Remember how he said if the dems win, "everyone will get healthcare" and it was a warning, not a promise.
Do we really care about MAGA veterans?
Even stupid people will notice when their Healthcare gets worse, things get more expensive, and the VA tells them to fuck off.
They're scared for a reason, you think all this rhetoric about the dems making them pay is for nothing? They're afraid they'll see the inside of a prison cell if congress flips.
They’ll notice, but then Fox will give them some talking points to justify it to themselves.
All the talking points in the world won't bring down prices or stop them from hearing Trump tell them to their faces that he doesn't care about them or that prices are high. People are starting to finally realize it, he doesn't care about anybody but Trump. Too little too late? Maybe, but they are losing support. It shouldn't have taken this much, but the fact that MAGA is crumbling is a good thing. Let's take the win where we can. There's still plenty of work, but everything doesn't have to be all doom all the time.
I very much welcome less doom and the crumbling of MAGA
