He built his name on those two things. Literally. That's been his brand since the 1980's: shady businesses, inflated real estate deals, and beauty contests. His base voted him in because they liked what they saw and wanted more of it nationwide.
No, that's not how anything works....
"The straw that broke the camels back" isn't just one heavy ass piece of straw.
It's one thing, in addition to every single thing that came before it.
So its this and the pedophilla and rampant corruption, and everything else.
But... like... literally everyone can agree that pedoshit should always break the camel's back. Like it's literally universal across pretty much every demographic that nobody should protect a pedo and even the worst serial killing criminals in prison are still viewed more favorablly than pedos.

I'd assume the pedophilia and corruption were already making a decent amount of people angry, judging by the recent election results. War against Iran was just the tipping point, without the preceding issues I'd doubt it'd have sparked much of a revolt.
This is not me arguing that any of these are ok btw, in an ideal world any of these things would lead to the end of the administration.

That 30% of Americans are never going to not support him
Yep, that's the base cult right there. They will always support him. He could rape their own children and they would still support him
He could do it in front of them while the child ask for help and they would still support him there is no coming back for them
This is how they help the child rape victims

We need to stop worrying about those who support him no matter what. 30% of Germans supported Hitler right up to the day he shot himself. You can't reach some people. Stop wasting effort on them.
The level of lawlessness Trump has wrought should disqualify his voters from having that privilege ever again.
I will die on that hill.

Have they been “ended” again? Wow, this must be the 100th time I’ve read that; certainly true this time, though! Thanks, Rawstory!
This is the revolt that’s gonna do it! We promise!
I’ll wait until Election Day (assuming we’re allowed to have those anymore) to see.
I wouldn't be so quick to judge, Trump's approval might temporarily drop by a whole percent!
Truly a source for wildly sensationalized headlines
Remember when the Republican party was "eating itself" and a Democrat victory was in the bag before the 2024 election?
Yeah they'll be fine and come back more fascist than ever
They rallied to a fucking insurrectionists pedophile. Never underestimate the depravity of the Republican voter.
GO OUT AND VOTE! VOTE BY MAIL IF YOU CAN TO REDUCE LINES.

Trump ally Andrew Tate was even more blunt, writing, “NOBODY WANTS THIS WAR, ” before adding, “War transfers wealth from the working class to the banking class. So does fraud and inflation. The working class man simply cant catch a break and is endlessly wrecked. This is The Matrix - extraction from the populace to feed a machine minded host. Heartless.”
Ugh, we're about to have to be up in arms alongside some real shit holes.
Grifter's gotta grift. But it's a good windsock for gauging where the popular winds are blowing. Dems are in the best position to capitalize on the shift, but I'm sure they'll find new and innovative strategies to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again, since they're owned by capital.
Chuck Schumer is certainly going to be on the wrong side of this war.
“Banking class”, and what demographic is infamously blamed for being money hungry bankers I wonder?
It’s not a great point its deflecting from the capitalist class and trying to change the scapegoat to a minority.
Worst person you know subverts a great point so people don’t reach it.

Give them a week. They'll fall in line.
Well, what do you expect them to do? Internally reflect and admit they were wrong?
Promise them that their overdue riches are coming soon. MAGA doesn’t hate war, they hate the idea that someone other than them is getting financial help
Yeah go check the r/conservative cesspool and tell me that again. Click bait bullshit
Most are bots.
Whether it's true or not, having some of them believe it might encourage some of the cowards on the fence to leave the cult, and if it does i say thats a win.
Definitely a frustratingly sensationalized headline though, total clickbait.

That subreddit is astroturfed like nobody's business and their censorship makes North Korea look a bastion of free expression. I bet if you went into the comments right when it was posted you'd have seen some halfway reasonable takes, but those comments have all been deleted and their authors banned.
I'll believe it when I see it
His approval could SLIDE to 39 percent, which will SLAM him.
I think the solid base is down to around 37% now. Still solidly behind the child rapist.

"No new wars" Maga doesn't seem to care about that
"He'll make the economy better" Maga doesn't seem to care about that
"He'll making housing affordable" Maga doesn't seem to care about that
What do they care about? They keep backtracking on what's important to them, it feels like they don't actually care about anything except hurting people. What's their agenda?
Small people try to feel big by hurting others and blaming them for it.
School bullies, narcissists, abusers, MAGA, authoritarian and dictators. Same song different dance.
They haven't grown up past playground drama.
They will lie all day and say it is X or Y or Z, but you can exhaustively prove each one false and they will move to the next one in and endless list of excuses.
it feels like they don’t actually care about anything except hurting people. What’s their agenda?
You already called it
Bullshit. They'll all bend the knee. It's a cult.
End of MAGA, yeah right...
We've always been at war with Eastasia
Horseshit. Conservatives have been raising their children for a generation to believe dying for Trump's America is a worthy cause.
Raw Story is just like any other rag. They play to their demographics. There is no massive anti-MAGA outcry on X or any of the socials.
Don't let this bullshit lure you into a false sense of security. Conservatives are as committed as ever. The majority of them think the post-911 wars were justified, and that they were heroes for fighting in them. They also believe the Jews are the chosen people. They're ready to send their kids to die in Iran. They're nationalists and zionists. It's their entire worldview. It's in their bones.
Don't become complacent.
So, MAGA, let's check the scoreboard:
-
America First: tell it to Iran, Venezuela, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, NATO, et al.
-
Lower prices on Day One: past Day 400, and prices are higher than ever.
-
Deport all the illegal immigrant criminals: As well as innocent people, school kids, veterans, old people, sick people, American citizens, even MAGAs.
-
Lower Crime: Enforced by Paramilitary Death Squads roaming the streets and breaking out into spontaneous firing squads against people that piss them off for any reason.
-
Release the Epstein Files: Except any that mention Trump, or his friends.
So why are you still on board? Is it the mind-boggling corruption, like openly accepting bribes in front of the entire world?
Or is it the virtuosic incompetence? Like a health system that has caused the first measles epidemic in decades?
I'll bet it's the Pedophilia. The one thing a MAGA can count on is that they'll go the distance to cover pedophilia. THAT you can count on. And that's important because...
ALL MAGAs are Pedophiles.
Where? The maga channel I'm regrettably tapped in to is all "We gotta keep Iran from building nukes that they'll use on Israel". There's a " we shouldn't be Israel's bodyguard " sentiment but they tend to get buried
If Trump and his buddies molesting children on that big beautiful island did not shake his support base, nothing on earth will. Have you read the contents of that file? Whatever you read, I am here to tell that there is more and it is worse.

Correction: A few Magats shake their fists angrily and then crawl back under their rocks. The rest are strangely pleased.

Give it a couple days. Every one of them will say they always 100% supported the war. Never thought Trump was in the wrong for even a second. Nope, not me.
Please. The "revolt" is just some angry tweets as usual. Nothing will matter. Website needs clicks. Democrats will whiff. Sun rises. Etc
Just like they don't care if you're a pedo, as long as you're a Republican. They don't care if you lie to them, as long as you're a Republican. This is no end to MAGA and anybody claiming as much is not reputable.
