I'm skeptical.
A lot of the people whose minds are supposedly "changing" or who are allegedly "beginning to leave" have the memory of a goldfish and the emotional capacity of a fire ant, in my experience.
It's anecdotal, but the people I know of who voted for Trump in 2024 did so with full knowledge that Trump is truly awful on a personal level and that the GOP is doing terribly undemocratic things across the board from top to bottom.
They willfully and joyfully admit these things. So long as they feel like they are "winning", they don't care. So long as the schools aren't allowed to put litter boxes in the classrooms for kids to use, everything else is acceptable. Think about gas and egg prices. This time last year, it was all Biden's fault. January 2025 comes along and suddenly, those same voices understand that the president doesn't control the prices of those things, and actually it's bird flu and the wider economic conditions worldwide causing price hikes in the USA.
And those are things that actually affected everyday voters. The Epstein client list has virtually no bearing on the vast majority of our lives, one way or the other. It IS the distraction for the goldfish and fire ants of the world who will move along to the next ankle as soon as a new threat is presented to them.
Just for clarity, you do realize the litter box thing is literally a trash can filled with cat litter and the only use for this is during a lockdown because there's somebody shooting your school up. It's not a standard measure. It's an emergency urinal because you can't go outside to piss. This is not a furry thing this is not a gay thing this is a school shooter is shooting up a school thing
