I've lost count of how many times I've read headlines like this.
I'll believe it when my MAGA relatives turn their backs on Fox News and Trump. Until then, this is weapons grade hopium.
Maybe you should read more than the headlines. There's some pretty good evidentiary detail in this one.
I read it and I'm still not convinced. I've lived with these MAGA types for decades. I'd been forced to be around Fox News and right wing pundit rhetoric for decades. The media they consume are not reporting any of Trump's or his wider administrations shortfalls. Even on the very, very rare occasions that they do, the MAGAs smugly declare that Fox News is owned by Chinese communists and stop watching for like a week (one of my relatives actually said/did this immediately after Jan 6).
And from what I've gathered from the breathless Facebook posts of these people within the last week, everything involving Epstein and Trump is a hoax. New York City is reaching Portland-levels of imaginary death and destruction because of the new mayor. And the dismissal of the case against James Comey and Letitia James was unconstitutional, somehow.
I'm not trying to be pessimistic or cynical. I'm just going off what has happened in the past and what I'm seeing them saying and doing right now. Some of these people are too far gone to accept that they might have made many, many wrong decisions, and they will continue to blame Democrats for their self-inflicted suffering.
