MODERATORS
This is easy to fake, but I think it is happening. They're spamming Truth Social with bots to drown out the dissent now. That's not good for them.
It might be more about the dissent rising in the right-wing media ecosystem than people waking up ontheir own, but the dissent in the right-wing media system may be driven by falling viewership, so maybe it's the whole thing collapsing in unison. Last poll I saw had him down to 33% now.
I occasionally lurk on patriots.win, and the comments over there have become more skeptical, and now include some laments that their kids have stopped supporting Trump. I don't see any of them flipping to vote Dem the next election, but I have some optimism they will stay home and not vote at all.
Please oh please oh please oh please oh please (repeat until november)
Democratic primaries are routinely pulling dramatically more turnout than Republican ones. I believe the Trump team is in hot water in primary battles too, not as bad as the corporatist Dems, but discord and anti-Trump sentiment are non-trivial within the party. I'm no prophet or expert analysr, but good things might happen.
