Yesterday, according to estimates by event organizers, millions marched in protest against the Trump administration, including its recent controversial immigration-enforcement raids. Hundreds of “No Kings” demonstrations took place in cities and towns throughout the U.S.
We’ll include 50 of the 400 as wanting to see something happen in their small town, but that’s still a lot. Illinois’s small towns are usually straight up republican.
Lol, fair enough. I will say, though, there’s a divide amongst small town republicans. They pick and choose things from Trump, but for some, it’s teetering to think of him as a dictator. I can’t say the percentage because unlike their passive racism, they keep those statements to only close friends or people they know will agree.
What I don’t understand is, do they never hear the counterpoints? They (meaning, conservative influencers and musk) were pushing out the narrative that the dude who shot the politicians in Minnesota yesterday was a democrat. It’s obvious he was not now, and that he was conservative. Doesn’t that break the spell at all?
I used to wonder, but after how many people I saw talking about the Epstein files and Trump after Elon brought them up as if this is a new accusation, I no longer think they have vision or hearing outside of their safe spaces.
Connecting this back to the rural republican divide: They seem to have come to the conclusion that Trump wants to be a dictator entirely by listening to him and other Republicans.
Most of the dictator talk happened before that, but yes, the loudest talking heads having a falling out with Trump definitely make them second guess how things are playing out. Some of the most loyal Trump and Elon people are trying to reconcile and coming up blank which is a great thing, albeit sad for them not seeing it when it was news during Trump term 1
The Idaho one, is that like half their state?
In illinois, there was a head count of 400 in a town of 800, so maybe.

That’s great to hear, truly.

So that implies that the spell is being broken and that Elon may have had a hand in it? Whoa.
