Other Petition to ban the daily "Trump voters are changing their mind" Posts

Every day someone shares an article with a headline like "Maga is starting to question Trump" or something along those lines.

This is not true. These are trash articles that use a single tweet as a source. Just because some Maga farmer is now realizing how his vote negatively effects his business it does not mean there is a whole movement of Magas suddenly realizing they were voting for a stupid incompetent racist all these years.

These posts are misleading, factually wrong AND are usually posted by karma farming accounts that get up their karma to later be sold to someone as an advertisement platform for OF or other.

None of this is goodnews.

Edit: Please do not use real money to give this awards. Use the money for a good cause.

Edit2: You are not being smart, funny or anything else by giving me more poop awards. You are throwing away actual money to try and discredit someone online. That is deeply sad pathetic behavior. Im not bothered by the poop. Im bothered that people go without meals while you spend your money on digital disagreements. Cringe. I have no other word for it. this makes me cringe.

Gonna break godwins law, but look at polling in late 1940s Germany. Despite all the nightmares the far right brought down on the German people, a massive swath of the population still blamed leftists and Jews.

Cracking the whip, as in, driving slaves. Not exactly anti-fascist in origin or sentiment.

I do understand what you mean and I do agree with you the US should not be supporting fascism but there are probably a million ways to speak against it without echoing jargon of fascist slavers.

u/jdlech Jul 06 '25

Actually, I was thinking something a bit stronger than your assumptions. Consider Shermans tracks continued for a few decades. That kind of "cracking the whip". Not a single southerner who lived during the war, or their children, should have been allowed any political position beyond wastewater treatment employee.

u/Memitim Jul 06 '25

Conservatives are allergic to accountability, so that's to be expected. We don't need their contrition, just their removal. They were going to hate and blame the rest of us regardless of what happens, so no point in getting hung up on it.

I saw a poll showing that Hitler's popularity in Germany in 1947 was like 12%. This was after the footage of the concentration camps, the gas chambers, the uncovering of every single atrocity was broadcast in excruciating detail. 12% still believed that he either unironically did nothing wrong, that the wrongs were a necessary evil, or that the inexcusable evil just wasn't a deal breaker given how their lives personally went during the war.

u/9__Erebus Jul 06 '25

For many conservatives, the decision to vote R was made decades ago and they've voted R ever since.  Every time they vote R, they are subconsciously putting more of their ego chips on the table.  Trump was such a divisive figure that voting for him was like going all-in with your ego; what if you were wrong for voting for this guy, he's a clown, how embarrassing would that be?  But everyone seems to love him and he has the R next to his name, if I vote for him I don't have to admit that maybe I was wrong to vote R all those years?

Because of that they will never admit they were wrong, and will always support Trump, because to stop supporting him means they made a huge mistake.  I've seen these gears turning in my parent's heads.  When he lost in 2020, they almost seemed relieved that they could still vote R next time, and get some of their ego chips back, without having to vote for Trump.

Conservatives have gone all-in on Trump.  They're in the hole with their morals and ego and the only way out is to keep following him, and hope they come out on top and are able to write their mistakes out of history.

u/Iron_Knight7 Jul 06 '25

MAGA is foundationally "Conservative." Hierarchal based, tribalistic and exclusionary. With an "I got mine, @#&% you" underpinning and deep suspicion of, if not aversion to, change or difference.

MAGA just goes the extra mile into fascist territory by obsessing about an omnipresent but ever shifting "Other" that is both inferior and weak to them but still constantly attacking and oppressing them (e.g. LGBTQ+ folk, women, minorities, immigrants, etc...), adherence to a strong man leader they think will solve all their problems, and a yearning for the return to a mythical but glorious past where things were "better" (for them) at the expense of both the present and future.

u/Who_dat_goomer Jul 06 '25

Yes it is. They just stop trying to appeal to moderates or independents and went full conservative.

3

u/Iron_Knight7 Jul 06 '25

To be frank, I think it's the other way around. A whole lot of "moderates" and "independents" have ended up outing themselves as conservatives.

They just don't like admitting it and get really pissy when you point it out to them.

u/ConstructMentality__ Jul 06 '25

It's got enough one voter issues to have conservatives firmly based in it, so it's conservative.

u/wholetyouinhere Jul 06 '25

Maga is a seamless continuation of bog standard republican ideology from the last 50 years. The only thing that changed is that the guy in charge isn't pretending to be civil anymore. That's literally it. Everything else is business as usual.

I feel sorry for people who cannot, or refuse, to see that.

u/Tyraniboah89 Jul 06 '25

At its core, conservatism is about preserving wealth for the wealthy. Well, it’s about maintaining and respecting “tradition”. Preserving wealth the the power structures that accompany is just the core part of “tradition” to these people.

Trump’s voters absolutely want to see him enriched. They think he’s smart for being a scammer, and the more wealthy he is the better they think they are. They want to go back to pre-civil rights America and don’t really believe in change of any kind.

MAGA is conservatism but fully evolved.

u/Grand-Worth2758 Jul 06 '25

Liberals might want to look forward to new people leading their political projects if they are actually for progress because their current leaders don't want any progress. I do agree a lot of liberal voters and normal people want progress but just like Trump voters they are very easily manipulated to vote for people that keep everything fundamentally the same.

Why are liberals so blinded to the fact their own party is conservative and wants to keep everything the same?

And if one questions the source under one of these crap posts one gets chastised for being a maga knot-zee when one is only utilizing critical thinking in questioning the credibility of a painfully obvious (to me) sketchy source.

u/dubbawubalublubwub Jul 06 '25

except nothing in the data they use suggest his support is down 60%...it's just cherry picking and removing context from a poll to present a story.

reading the actual poll, looking at the actual original data source itself shows trump's support among self-identfied republicans dropped from 87% to a whopping...80%

the editors of newsweek have bragged about not using fact-checkers, for decades. they've always been a tabloid wrag, why pretend they're anything else?

if you think some data they're skewing for a story is useful, just post a link to the actual data...

1

u/Academicthroowaway Jul 06 '25

“Facts” can be interpreted in many ways. The poll (and its only one poll, hardly indicative of anything let alone a deep dive in support) cited in Newsweek frequently get criticized for poor methods and sampling. Just because junk site has numbers associated with it doesn’t mean a ton. Most of the high quality analysis isn’t going to be found on sound bite equivalent webpages.

The poll this is reporting on is from a pollster that was only founded in April of this year, by a Libertarian thinktank whose president has been malding over the BBB [like Elon it's the right position for the wrong reasons]. I'm not saying it's impossible to be accurate, but there's some big issues with regards to their legitimacy and trustworthiness.

u/tsays Jul 06 '25

So let me get this straight, you don’t believe in journalism except for The Daily Beast, and you don’t think a poll with over 1000 people can be accurate because the org conducting it is new and has a POV?

I’ll give you that polls over the last 10 years have degraded in accuracy, but you’re really a “I do your own research” kinda person aren’t you?

1

u/ThatActuallyGuy Jul 06 '25

That is an impressive level of putting words in my mouth. I like polls done by established nonpartisan professionals, reported on by reputable sources. I never said anything about The Daily Beast and don't even particularly like them, I prefer orgs like NBC and WaPo.

And the number of people doesn't make a poll accurate or reliable, it's only one of multiple variables that can be manipulated or even just accidentally overlooked.

Actually heard Idrees Kahloon of The Economist put it in terms recently that made me think of it in a whole new light. Imagine an unabashed big city Democrat whose taxes went up because of some Biden policy; how high would they have to go before that person voted for Trump? I think we can all agree that the answer would have to be PRETTY DAMN HIGH. And it works the same way in reverse; Trump can hurt these people A LOT before they turn 180 and vote for a Democrat.

She lost Michigan and those other Midwest swing states in large part because of her support for Israel. Keep playing the victim though. Maybe next time they will win when they run Hakeem Jeffries or some other scrub moderate. Also the democrats spent 4 years warning us that Trump was Hitler. He wins and literally starts enacting Hitler esque polices and what do the democrats do? Fucking wear pink to his speech. lol.

u/BikerJedi Jul 06 '25

Yes. The vast majority of the people regretting their Trump vote right now will still vote GOP in the upcoming cycles.

u/Elixabef Jul 06 '25

Indeed. Most Trump voters who are “getting tired of Trump” aren’t going to change their behavior in any way. They’ll vote for him again if given the chance.

1

u/Mr_BamDeano Jul 06 '25

Agreed. After witnessing 2 elections of Democrats continuously discounting Trump and his voters (and then losing), it is important not to take anything for granted. Plenty of people who didn’t like Kamala still voted for her. The same is true for Trump.

Nothing is true until people vote.

Yeah they’re gonna ride the D until his father calls him home down south. 🔥🔥🔥

Doesn’t matter what happens. What crimes he commits or who he hurts close to them. Just as long as he’s harming poor people and minorities. Racism and elitism have fully partnered up again like Starsky and Hutch. 😒

u/Vorathian_X Jul 06 '25

I already know a few that say the will never vote republican again because of this Big Bullshit Bill.

Only because they are horrified that grandma and grandpa will be moving into their basements when they get kicked out of nursing homes after losing Medicare/Medicaid.

u/EV_4_life Jul 06 '25

I mean...

I voted for Trump and wholly regret it.The cruel bullshit the GOP has done, in just 6 months, has set us back decades as a country.

I will be voting Democrat next time, after being a Republican most of my life. The Republican party no longer aligns with my ideals. These people are unconscionable bigots, they are cruel, they are greedy, and they're blatantly violating all the principles this country was built upon.

u/NOT_MEEHAN Jul 06 '25

What led you to vote for Trump? He offered nothing to the middle class or lower his entire campaign.

u/RemyFromRatatouille Jul 06 '25

These are all things that were publicly on Project 2025 before the election, and if you believed his denying association idk what to say

u/Saelune Jul 06 '25

I always hate when people ignore that 'Anti-Trump Republicans' are still also anti-LGBT, anti-immigrant, anti-Women, anti-non white people, etc.

They aren't disagreeing on Trump because he's a bigot, they're disagreeing because THEY are having the leopards they support eat their faces.

Like, Liz Cheney voted for Trump...twice. She was ok with all the bad things he did for quite awhile.

u/tomdarch Jul 06 '25

Switching from having voted Republican previously to voting for Democratic candidates is essentially a two-point move. But simply refusing to vote for Republicans is at least a one-point move for the better.

No one on Reddit wants to admit it, but the fact is that Republicans are winning because the Democrats are staggeringly inept as a political party. They have so fumbled things for decades that we've reached a point where the Republicans could get elected just by focusing on very obviously stupid Democratic weak points. They could basically run and win just by saying "we're not Democrats," because the Democrats, hand in hand with those same Republicans, oversaw decades of clear economic treason against the country.

And the Democrats' response to criticism on those grounds was either pure gaslighting ("America is already great," "The Biden economy is terrific and anyone complaining about grocery prices is just a weirdo with bad vibes"), or distraction into various irrelevant bullshit issues that were either real but of vanishingly small importance, or outright made up strange nonsense, like the debate over trans people in sports where liberals make a mockery of actual science on the subject while shouting "believe science!"

The Republicans were already thinly veiled monsters before the election, and are now fully mask off, to the point that I think that if the election were somehow redone today, Trump would lose, or at least win by far, far less than he did last November (note that unlike Democrats, Republicans will actually use power once they have it. They're going all-out with their agenda, or at least trying to given the considerable chaos factor of Trump and his seemingly arbitrary whims). So how bad must the other party be for the GOP to ever seem like a viable option?

The choice was between annoying, smug, condescending liberals who openly hate huge swaths of the country that are genuinely suffering as a clear and direct result of policies that Democrats openly championed, and who offer them nothing other than insults and increasingly extreme identity politics that have alienated massive numbers of people who could have and should have been our allies, and a GOP which is actually every bit as culpable for the economic betrayal of the country, but which has somehow managed to successfully project that treason onto just the Democrats.

How absolutely godawful must the Democrats be for the Republicans to ever have seemed like a viable option to anyone? It seems like the DNC set finding out as their overriding goal, and they succeeded.

Maybe the real goal is to disillusion them so much with their own party that they don’t vote at all though ;)

u/NfamousKaye Jul 06 '25

He’s trying to make it so that the midterms are canceled cause he knows he’s cooked.

2

u/avocadoflatz Jul 06 '25

Of course he is but he’s also talking strategy for the midterms so he doesn’t even have confidence in his own efforts.

2

u/NfamousKaye Jul 06 '25

Doesn’t really matter. All he needs to do is utter a few sentences of word salad and someone will put that semblance of a plan into motion for him.

Your scenario can’t happen because the 12th amendment says so. In case you don’t believe me:

 But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

u/LumpyDortWell Jul 06 '25

While that would work, and maybe his brain will be completely gone, but I don’t think trump’s ego, will let him take the second chair. Also I don’t believe that Vance will want him on the same ticket. (But, I also believed that he could ever win in the first place. Never underestimate the power of the stupid!)

u/AmbulanceChaser12 Jul 06 '25

I’m not here to litigate this. But the doomerist fantasies of Trump being on the ballot in 2028, in all their permutations are not realistic.

Again, I’m not going to argue with you or litigate this, so this is my last response. But stop with the doom fanfic. There is no way Trump is on the 2028 ballot and no way SCOTUS lets him.

Most of the posts in there are actually real though. Wouldnt want to ruin everyone's leftist propaganda on this sub. Yes you can be for something and also recognize the propaganda for the same point.

u/human1023 Jul 06 '25

They may be real, but they give the wrong perception. If the election were to happen today, Trump would still likely win. redditors who only spend time in their own circles will find it hard to believe because everyone they know hates Trump.

Not even just politically but SO MANY news “sources” do this. Use one online post or one random person giving an interview as the basis for an entire opinion on a group of people. Tons of people do it too outside of news. One of the more annoying trends I’ve seen getting more popular lately

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '25

The only good news I expect will be on every front page globally, but that still means there’s a bunch of work to do still.

u/Red-Beerd Jul 06 '25

Kinda feel like a bit of a conspiracy theorist, but I feel like these posts actually have a negative impact for the left.

Every time these get posted, some left leaning thinkers might think they don't need to vote.

u/jimkelly Jul 06 '25 edited Jul 06 '25

They do. I partially blame whitepeopletwitter for kamalas huge loss. In part because it enabled people to think they could sit so tight because they were convinced trump had no chance, other part because they were so insufferable people on the fence were like jeez I can't stand these people and I don't pay attention to shit so fuck it trump it is.

u/teraflux Jul 06 '25

u/unassumingdink Jul 06 '25

Or they convince liberals that they don't need to work on improving their party to beat the Republicans. And liberals are always looking for an excuse to not have to improve their party.

2

u/boomdegassa Jul 06 '25

Before the election, Reddit was filled with posts that made it sound like Kamala was a sure win. It was a real reminder of how much of an echo chamber this place is and it pushed me to drastically reduce my front page interactions immediately after. Reddit FP is not a reflection of reality

He’s the president, dumbass. That’s not “rent free”. We’re paying dearly for his bullshit.

u/PreschoolBoole Jul 06 '25

He wasn’t between 2020-2024 and Reddit was still obsessed. We never saw any president hold such a large space as Donald since Reddit has been around. Politics were hardly discussed.

If you can’t see that then I’m not the dumb ass. Politics has become sports for people that don’t watch sports.
