President Donald Trump’s supporters are known for their loyalty, standing by him through scandals, impeachment, and political chaos. But new polling suggests even the most devoted are now feeling the real-world sting of his policies and may have reached their “breaking point” as costs continue to climb.
Unfortunately, some people are incapable of admitting that they were wrong. I think a lot of the people currently complaining about the outcome of their own poor, cruel, stupid, malicious choices won’t change at all.
Still, while the whole world is on this sinking ship together… I’m glad these fucking morons are at least suffering along with the rest of us.
Fortunately, we don’t need the whole Republican base to admit the error of their ways and do a complete 180 on everything. Even just a small portion shifting towards the center and being open to messages from the other side that promise to fix the problems they now recognize as being caused by Republicans would be a huge victory. And even those who refuse to learn from their mistakes will likely become less enthusiastic and more likely to just stay home.
And of course, there’s also the far more malleable independent / undecided voters that will be much more likely to turn on the incumbent party when everything is turning to shit.
