Haley Robson, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse, voted for President Donald Trump in the past but is now calling for him to be impeached over the handling of the Epstein files.
Given the propaganda going around at the time (both times, even), I imagine a lot of people are in the same boat. A lot of people got real drunk on desperately guzzling the hopium, and are now “enjoying” the hangover.
Maybe I should have leaned into the sarcastic tone harder every time I said things like “maybe they care”. I didn’t realise their rose tinted hopium steamed glasses would have them interpret that literally!
~ Just in case it’s not too late (especially with all that “third term” noise going around), I’ll re-tell this little story:
In 2004, an ex-colleague of Trump’s was back in our home town, in our fave pub, telling us stories about what a joke Donald Trump is, what a played narcissist, being primed by his psychopathic handlers for a puppet presidency. … It seemed a bit too far out there implausible in 2004, and remained seeming implausible for about a decade… :/
they were in the honeymoon phase, i think some people who drank the koolaid still are. farmers being wrecked by trumps tariffs mysteriously vanished from the news cycle, republicans quietly trying to “fund them” without seing as the sole cause of thier misery.

Moral of the story:
He’s their boy.
(So, stop falling for it.)

I agree, except
gives punch too much credit.
Puppets for placation and provocation.
Problem space is further upstream in the thick and dark.
Solution space is nearer than many are yet to realise.
[No strongman to save us. We are the ones we have been waiting for. We can still mend this. Salvate Invicem.]
Also, impeachment’s nothing.
