Donald Trump’s base is at each other’s throats after the GOP suffered crushing defeats in contests across the country on Tuesday.

In the wake of the GOP’s beatings in Virginia, New Jersey, California, and New York City, MAGA has descended into a blamefest, arguing over whether Republicans had failed to mobilize enough voters or if internal fighting and other strategic missteps were to blame.

Some even faulted Trump, accusing him of prioritizing foreign affairs over problems at home.

    Some even faulted Trump

    Maybe its something to do with the fact that Trump who is a convicted criminal, openly fascist rapist has surrounded himself with incompetent, openly fascist sycophants and is now doing everything he can to sink America.

      Unfortunately it has more to do with the fact it’s an off year and MAGA has a lot of the low information voters now. So now Dems do better on off cycle elections because educated people are more likely to realize they are happening and important.

        I’m not sure I’d call that “unfortunate.” I’ve said for ages that if we can just get more people to vote, it will be good for the democrats. Work the rise of MAGA, I’ve included that if we can get them to think before they vote, that will be even better.

        IMO it’s simpler than that. Overwhelmingly USAmerican political turnout is highest among those dissatisfied with the sitting administration. It’s why we’ve had these 2-term party swaps, which became 1-term swaps after Trump-1; and is why Presidents tend to lose political power in Congress as their terms go on. That can change with an actually inspiring candidate (and I think Mamdani is that type, as was Bernie in 2016).

        Generally though, if people are picking what they deem as a lesser evil, hate of the current administration is the main way to push them to action on Election Day.

      If you use caps lock instead of holding shift, especially for words with apostrophes, you’ll avoid the full quotation mark you got in ‘WOULDN"T’
