    I get what you mean, and I would agree with you but the last month kind of disillusioned me.
    The fact that they managed to spin things like the presidents right hand guy giving the nazi salute on his inauguration day, or Trump blatantly supporting a dictator of the historically biggest US adversary, or him alienating and threatening to attack or annex US allies, or the countless other actions, is just defeating. I mean where the hell is the red line? What would it take for them to say “yes, Trump made a mistake.”? They pushed the narrative so far out that they’re okay with him aligning with Putin over the EU. I mean he literally said that Putin has gone through a lot with him and praised him while trying to extort Zelensky and screaming at him with the whole world watching. Where does it end?

    It’s just extremely defeating.

      Don’t try to change the minds of die hard Maga cultists. They’re a lost cause.

      Focus on swing voters who enabled this change because the price of eggs went up during Biden’s presidency. Remind them how nothing is getting cheaper with tariffs wars, and tax cuts for the super rich combined with the eventual gutting of Medicaid are clear signs he doesn’t actually care about them, no matter what he says.

      Immigration isn’t the biggest driver of crime - poverty is. And who is making the average citizen poorer now?
