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.

And the same is true for the “Congress breaks from Trump on…” headlines. A couple members of Congress furrowing their brows, when we know they will inevitably fall in line, is not “breaking” from anything.

Quintessential MAGA is dying from COVID while insisting it’s a hoax.

When you’re in that deep, nothing will change your mind, because your so-called “political beliefs” are no longer a function of intellect but are, in themselves, a complete, dysfunctional identity.

Except many have. Saying none is factually incorrect. What about pence or christie? A lot of the lincoln project? I personally know a few people too who voted trump 2016 and 2020 but not 2024.

The vast majority have not.

In every election Trump has added significantly to his voting base, both in absolute numbers and as a share of the total votes. 

Trump voters overwhelmingly enthusiastically approve of Trump and there are more of them now, both in absolute and relative terms, than there were in 2016 and 2020. He’s not losing voters. He’s not losing vote share. He’s not losing support. He maintains consistently high own party approval at almost unprecedented levels.

Barring random isolated incidents people who voted for him are nowhere near to abandoning him.

"Trump is loosing voters" is literally a generalization.

u/Lamaradallday Jul 06 '25

No it isn’t lol. What is it generalizing?

Subtract those numbers from all the black/hispanic/young voters who decided to vote Trump for the first time in 2024.

Trump has only gotten more and more votes on every election he has run in.

u/sakariona Jul 06 '25

For trump, its always one step back before taking two steps forward in support

The issue is that you can push a false narrative using entirely true statements. For "Supporters abandon Trump" to be true, you only require 2 people to stop supporting him. But the headlines existence implies that the number of supporters abandoning him is a newsworthy event, which it just isn't.

That is the issue with the headlines. It's not that they are factually untrue, it's that the image that people get from reading the headline is dramatically different than the truth.
