It might just be me, but the MAGA movement seems to be loosing it's appeal.

I have been seeing many people that thought the tyrant was all that and a bag of chips turning on him. Some are voicing their "buyers remorse ".
And then looking how close the special election was in Ohio, the Blue Wave 🌊 looks more and more a possibility to them.

Yes, their are the die hard MAGA's out there, but many look to be to be waking up and moving on. They try to save face by saying he was the best of two evils. But they say it half heartily.

And this "Q" thing has got many die hard republicans looking at those who are following this craze and wondering what had happened to their party. They are also look at the meetings with Korea and Russia and Wonder too.

So DU, what do you think? Are they waking up, all be it very slowly?

The cult is as strong as ever from my perspective. Everyone I know is one way or the other with no in between.

That doesn’t mean there aren’t lots of disgusted people ready to turn, just that I don’t personally know any.

No matter what happens from molesting women to treason to kidnapping to burning down the earth it doesn't move the needle with deplorables... he's their champion because he's a racist and a misogynist and the people they hate hate him. Hillary nailed it with that term.

Unless your net worth us over $100m.
If those idiots in their red hats weren't such idiots they'd realize they'd been played as fools. They should be up in arms for how much Trump has swindled them.

I am sure there are plenty of people who voted for the schmuck, but who are not part of the creepy cult. I'd guess those are the ones who are ditching him. The true believers, from what I see, are even kookier now than they were when the idiot was still running.
