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


I’ve seen a stark drop in Trump flags and random merch on people’s cars.
I would chalk that up to people just not wanting to identify themselves as supporters. They would rather hide their support so when they pull up to stores/friends or families homes, they cannot easily be shown to be awful people.
They are ashamed tat they lick boot.
