Here we are, Black Friday, officially Christmastime now. America is in a sour mood. Grocery prices are up, and so are energy prices. Donald Trump lies incessantly about both. The American people are onto him. They’re pessimistic about the future.
The distrust goes way beyond the economy. Over these last few weeks, ever since the government shutdown, it’s finally begun to sink in on people that Trump and his entire administration are a bunch of raging ideologues or incompetents or both, peddling a fantasy version of their strength that people no longer buy. There’s no longer any doubt about it: The MAGA crack-up has begun.
Look at a few things that have happened in just the last week: https://newrepublic.com/article/203744/there-no-doubt-it-great-maga-crack-up-begun-trump


It’s not true if you live in a deep red state. They treat politics like football teams and REFUSE to ever change parties because their whole family tree has voted red, so they won’t change it.
Also most pastors here are hard MAGA and think gay people are going to murder them at every chance, so they spread constant propaganda to the members, so they all vote red as well.
It’s a well thought out propaganda train to take advantage of the fact 90% of these people have a 5th grade education and at least 3-4 children.
