I don’t read r/conservative much but what I’ve seen is they keep banning actual conservatives because they correctly call out what Trump is doing on things where it’s not about left and right but right and wrong.

Some people are saying that it could be coincidental. OP asks why would the two accounts who post so regularly just happen to both stop at the same time on that day.

    It may be working in the short term but in the medium term MAGA may be imploding as real people get their faces eaten by leopards and become disillusioned with the movement.

      That doesn’t mean much. It just means the next snake oil salesman that appeals to their base emotions will win their dumb hearts.

      Regular, factual and continued education is the only way out of this mess. Note the present dismantlement of said Department.

        All those snake oil salesmen are looking ning up for the 2028 primary, and it’s going to be entertaining.

        Trump will endorse his son, so that he can win, Trump can be Chief of Staff, and they’ll hire a woman to be assistant Chief of Staff, and make her do all the work, and fetch coffee. If he wins, Trump will sit at the Resolute desk, and Jr will sit at a card table with a folding chair. Every day will be bring your senile father to work day.

        Vance will have Usha deported, and marry Erika Kirk, who will divorce him when he flames out for president, after getting caught with a rentboy, pissing off his Sugar Daddy Peter Theil, who will break up with him, and then spend a billion bucks destroying his life.

        Rubio will stagger around wide-eyed and clueless as usual.

        MTG will make all of her appearances dressed like a Star Spangled Rodeo Clown.

        And then there will be 20 other MAGA narcissists in line, whose candidacies will all fall apart one by one, as their campaigns fall apart when various scandals come to light.

        And the Dems will put up several worthy challengers, several terrible candidates, pick the worst one, and lose.

      Also it’s a cult of personality meaning it requires active maintenance by the leader, meanwhile Trump is actively melting and may not even have enough of a personality to count eventually.

        Reminds me of an old soviet joke:

        Q: Now that Stalin has died, what happened to his cult of personality?
        A: The personality has died, that is true, but the cult lives on.

          While that may be true there is a near universal fact I have observed with cults. When the original leader dies they bleed manpower well that or they fracture like a khaganate, though that can be stopped with sufficiently competent successors, I greatly doubt anyone can hold this particular mess together.
