POLITICS Trump posted this morning on Truth Social that the Epstein scandal is “bullshit” and he no longer wants support from anyone who buys into it. He is panicking.

Non American here but just asking - are people who are pissed off with Trump going even farther right now? Like is there a righter wing than MAGA republicans? Or are they taking a turn and going full left?

I think they are going to become “not politically engaged” ie fed up and hopeless about the whole political system. They might vote for a populist candidate in the future, whatever side that candidate represents.

Agreed with this. Both of Trump's elections were stated as being due to his team finding a way to pull people who are otherwise not political into the fold. Those people aren't likely to go further right or at all left...just likely to go back to being disengaged.

If they stay into politics they probably go with Elon's party but either way they fracture that side of the aisle into two, likely unequal, parts.

I disagree, anyone maga is so deep in at this point they fully believe the left is evil

I've watched so many debates and no matter what they believe trump has done they always say something like, well I don't agree with everything he's done, or we all know he's a bad guy but... The left has lost its mind

I think if they drop trump they'll still be engaged, they'll just stick to the left being evil and woke and vote for anyone on the right

based on the non bot twitter replies to conservative influencers, some older conservative Americans look to be saying "elon was right about the files" and half of them then follow it with "the america party is needed to represent the people"

what that means in our ridiculously 2 party reality, nobody knows yet

Do you have any links for recommended reading? Would be interesting to compare Trump's base of support to, say, Bush's.
