I realize there’s no singular answer for this, but many of the MAGA crowd attribute many of our current woes to the prior administration, like cost of living, inflation, unemployment rates, etc.

I’d imagine that every day that passes and we get more and more distant from Biden’s presidency, it gets a bit harder to blame him for every problem.

e.g. It’d be hard to blame many of the increased prices on electronics on him, since much of this has been driven by Trump’s tariffs (but I bet someone will attempt to refute this!)

This is a long-winded way of me asking the community, have you seen any Trump fans start to come around at all? When do we start living in the conditions (good or bad) of Trump’s America and stop laying blame on the last administration?

I’m interested to see what people of all persuasions feel about this.

For myself, I have seen some minor loss of enthusiasm among Trump followers, but I haven’t seen anyone register as a Democrat yet :)

    Don’t fall for the fallacy of binary thinking. A good way to oversimplify your opponents/enemies is to put them totally in another category from yourself. Life is rarely this simple. There’s a huge continuum of beliefs and behaviors that fall between these two belief systems.

    I recall my acquaintance being surprised that I wasn’t for “open borders” even though I voted for Biden. The idea that one could have a belief that is independent of Trump and Biden had not occurred to him.

        There are very, very few. I cited some cannabis policy above.

          That’d be just what we need. People with no critical thinking skills, in a cult, legally high. Another coffin nail.
