I’m convinced the only way to end MAGA is for them to witness Trump’s failure. Martyring him will likely enrage his followers against the left, leaving a power vacuum that will be immediately filled by the next bigoted sociopathic Republican in line.
The problem is they won't see anything he does as failing. He could literally shit his pants, reach down, and eat it. They'd fucking cheer for him and say real men eat shit.
In less than a month he’s lost support from a portion of small business owners, small farm owners, Hispanics, natural disaster victims, etc. It’s going to take personal loss for less empathetic people to turn on him. If his goal is to exclusively cater to the wealthy, he’ll isolate his base soon enough.
Sure, if you talk to them. However, if you put a ballot in front of them, they may hesitate for a second, maybe even ask who else is running, but they'll vote for him again anyway.
