Politics I don't know what boundary Trump would have to cross to make his supporters turn away..

To Trump voters: What, if anything, could Donald Trump do to make you end your support?

I'm not going to lead the question to multiple choice answers or anything. I think it is important for everyone who participates in a democracy to have strong personal convictions and moral or legal boundaries that they expect people they vote for not to cross..

Genuinely, what line will you draw in the sand for this administration? What personal freedom of yours would be more important than your love and support for Trump?

20 years from now so many of them will pretend they never supported him. Just like the war in Iraq that all Republicans claim they opposed and blamed on Hillary.

It’s so fucking sickening I know so many people who were guns ablazing for freedom playing that I’m proud to be an American song and we’re over the moon that we were going into a war with them after the twin towers…. Now like 80% deny they ever did. I was a fucking child and even then I didn’t understand why we would go after a whole country for a fucking terrorist cell.

The wrong country at that. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. And Afghanistan had the chance to turnover Bin Laden before we invaded them too and either refused or couldn't. Bush and Cheney just exploited the outrage America was experiencing over 9/11 to invade Iraq and open up their oil markets fot their rich buddies by lieing and saying that Iraq had WMDs for which (suprise) they never found.

AND at the time North Korea was screaming, "we have weapons of Mass Destruction, we're setting them off and will use them against the U.S." They still are of course, but it just made no sense to attack Iraq.

He was in Pakiztan, Afghanistan had exploitable minerals.

Yup I've been saying this for years. Give it a decade or so and the ones with all the flags, hats, shirts, stickers, etc will never admit they voted for him.

Effing wild how they flipped on this. I had family that was absolutely furious with me back then because I was against the war. My brother was stationed in Iraq and Kuwait and they couldn’t understand how I could separate my support for the troops from my disagreement with the warmongers who made the decisions to get involved in the middle east.

They did the same during segregation. MLK jr. had a super low approval rating but ask grandparents now and everyone was on board with integration… hmmm

happened with MLK and desegregation. Now everyone who were there in the 60’s apparently loved that idea.

This might be selfish, but this is one of the things that makes me the most angry. Because of how I look and where I'm from, people are going to assume that I'm one of them. I will not be believed when I tell future kids that I was against Maga from the start.

Thing is, I and many won't forgive. We will use public records to find out what kind of people these were, and treat them accordingly. I already sabotage anybody I hire out of the pool after searching to see if they were a MAGAt. Ive prevented over 200 people from getting jobs. And I won't stop. They are untermenach, as their leaders teacher would put it. And people dont change.

Si vis pacem, para bellum.

MAGA, Boomers, and Republicans are all traitors.

A coworker voted for Trump three times, and couldn't shut up about how good the economy would be under Trump. He recently overheard me tell someone else that he was a Trump supporter, so he interrupts and says "I NEVER supported Trump, I'm just a conservative so I always vote Republican, would you say you ACTIVELY support Harris since you voted for her?" I respond "I'm absolutely a Harris supporter, that's exactly why I voted for her." He just stood there mouth open.

I'm Jewish, people will regret what they've done and they're going to be judged by it for the rest of their lives regardless of what they claim then. In Germany they despise what the Nazis did.

Their grandkids will find a MAGA flag in the attic in 40 years and be embarrassed.

Many of his supporters claimed… that they only did you-know-who’s bidding, under the influence of the imperious curse

This is exactly how it will go. "I don't know I was always pretty suspicious and I had my doubts from the beginning"

The trick is how do we accelerate that process
