I'm so sick of the establishment left media repeatedly being like "MAGA supporters are finally turning on Trump" - they're not!
It's wishful thinking, go to their spaces you'll see how they justify their positions to each other and just keep manufacturing reasons as to why it all lines up with their world view.

His net approval rating is at 38%. MAGA is fine with him no matter what.
Every time I see a headline like this I go and check the approval rating and it hasn’t moved in any meaningful way. It’s so dumb.
A common problem with media today. Whenever you see a headline that says "people are doing/saying x" replace "people" with "a few twitter comments we found" and it all makes a lot more sense.
Honestly it should be outlawed.
I don't believe anything The Daily Beast says anymore because they almost always exaggerate on that subject. Their articles are clickbait aimed at all the people who can't wait for Trump to be gone.
There might be a few but in general no they aren’t. If the pussy grabbing, war mongering, kid diddling, and live pants shitting didn’t turn them already, pretty sure nothing will.
Daily beast is not "establishment left." They have always been a rag.
Yeah and it's also stupid how short they think everyone's memory is. They say this shit like once a month.
MAGA will never turn on Trump.
They spent years harping on a "deep state cabal" that was trafficking children. When the world learned that the reality was actually much worse, but Daddy Trump was implicated, all of a sudden it was fake news.
If that didn't do it, nothing will. They won't turn on Trump because MAGA is a cult of personality. It's not about facts and it's not even about principles. It's about each of them keeping Donald Trump's tiny penis in their mouth at all times.
Another reason to put effort into rallying and representing the true left rather than trying to appease the stupid right or lazy middle.
Oxymoron? No, just morons.
The Daily Beast is a sensationalist rag, it shouldn't be allowed as a source here.
Checked in on my MAGA relatives Facebook and they are just fine with rationalizing that the war is necessary because some Iranians treated some Americans bad at some point in the past.
Yeah sure.
We should be clear: They weren't really anti-war. What they were was stupid enough to believe Trump.
"He says what I'm thinking!"
-- So many drumpffucks
I’ll believe it when I see it
They'll bend the knee. Republicans can't help themselves.
Hey, hey hey, that's not fair! They'll also lick the boot...
It's the RWA (Right Wing Authoritarian) mindset.
I think every American should be required to read Bob Altemeyer's The Authoritarians in school.
But asking our public schools, especially while under the influence of the unhinged right wing and the reactionary centrists, to give citizens a real education is probably asking a lot.
Maybe they learn from this that Trump is a notorious liar. OK, maybe they don't.
Talk is cheap, especially for MAGAs. They'll still vote for him, and that's all that counts.
