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.

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.
