It’s clear there are several groups of Trump supporters. Some of these can be picked off with careful messaging & brutal truths/nose-rubbing
First a financially-incentivised in-crowd: apparatchiks, party hacks, YouTubers & influencers. They're not stupid - eg they’ve seen the videos of Good & Pritti

This is what Hess said: “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now. I think it’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of. Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.”

Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."

I want to thank everyone who posts gift articles of really important stories that all Americans should read but are behind paywalls so most can’t.
There are some stories that are so important to the public interest that media companies should remove paywalls on some occasions.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Epstein was in and out of Russia every few months according to his travel documents, but Mandelson was partying in nightclubs in St Petersburg and regularly in Moscow.
How did our intelligence services fail to pick this up? Or were their reports and investigations suppressed?
