Hey MAGA voters, how hard does your king need to screw up the country before you stop supporting him?

If you answer is to dodge that question with some whataboutism, that means you're in a cult.

Many will never get it. Chatted with a maga neighbor who is on disability(works under the table), gets EBT, Medicaid. Told me that trump is doing what has to be done and all will be wonderful. Said that Elon pays the highest salaries and bennies of any corporation in existence and will make our government run like a well oiled machine because he builds rockets. Last time we ventured into politics he told me repeatedly while chasing me down the street, insisting that trump could not be responsible for Jan. 6 because he was in Maralago. When the insurrection happened Biden was in the WH, Biden caused it.

No, no, the truly devoted will never believe anything resembling the truth. Oh and he insists that he’s not maga but an independent. Lol,lol,lol.

That’s what so-called independents always say. I always ask them if they’ve ever voted for anyone but a Republican. So far no one has ever answered yes.

If your neighbor is collecting disability but working under the table, report him for fraud. These are the same people who always scream about welfare moms, so fair play.

Long before Trump, I was working a Democratic campaign, knocking on doors of Republican women and independents. I had one "independent" tell me he couldn't vote for a Democrat because he was an independent. Libertarians and independents always vote Republican.

And anyone calling themselves a Libertarian who votes for this is a lying clown even more than the "independent" ones.

I am an independent and always have been and I vote usually for Democrats including Kamala Harris. So this is not true.

I don’t trust either party establishment at all, but I recognize Harris was the lesser of two evils by far (and still a terrible candidate imo). 

So I am firmly an independent, but not a Trump voter by any stretch. There are a lot of people like me. I even know Republicans who just didn’t vote because they also hate Trump.
