MAGA may never admit Trump is a historic disaster. No matter how bad things get.
They have invested too much personal capital, lost friends, said reprehensible things, all in the service of a transparently awful convicted criminal.
Denial and rationalization are powerful psychological mechanisms.

The spit will be flying at Fox News as they act performatively irate we aren’t all worshipping the infallible Trump’s oh-so-smart tariffs. They HAVE to spin this calamity. And blame Democrats.

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat.
I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

No offense, Mark, but you have influence and power most of us don’t. Why don’t you speak up to those in DC you have connections with? Actions speak louder than words as you well know.

Hey MAGA, this one’s for you. To quote Elon, if you don’t agree with him, you can “take a big step back and FUCK YOURSELF in the face.”

What’s cool about this site is I can post anything and I don’t have a dozen blue check accounts with Trump assassination photos or NFT profile pics immediately swarming me telling me to die. So that’s nice.
