Gonna keep this short and straight to the point, we all know how they act.

With trump siding with the Tech Bros Billionaires on immigration, even after his most die hard supporters were against it. I see several MAGAS just falling in line with Elon calling them stupid and that’s why we need more educated and qualified people to take these better jobs (whilst we’re on the cusp of deleting the Department of Education).

Anyone with functions eyes and ears can tell you they’ve been played, but they’re still deeply loyal to trump even though he back tracking on one of his biggest (and few) positions. Without mass deportations or hawkish immigration laws. What the hell does trump even offer to these people other than the occasional dog whistles they love?

    Nothing I have ever read, ever, is more on point or more important in understanding Trump voters:

    This is from 2016 and is no less relevant in 2025.

    Like the author, I’ve lived both sides of the urban/rural divide. I get it. Y’all can scream all you want about how illogical MAGA feelings are, but that’s exactly where Democrats so goddamned always fail. “But we’re objectively right!”, liberals shout. Being right doesn’t win elections, appeals to emotion win elections.
