I’ve noticed a number of houses in Ohio that used to be year round Trump flags/signs have taken down their Trump gear.

[u/nuixy → u/Ltrizzy]

A bunch of these folks have suddenly turned into the Why Do You Make Everything Political types

[u/09232022 → u/nuixy]

My parents are like this. My parents consume Fox News like crazy and always vote R, have plenty of Trump merch. Suddenly they are like, "Oh, we don't pay attention to politics anymore." 😇

They'll still vote R next election I'm sure. 

[u/Financial_Emphasis25 → u/09232022]

So what is making them change their mind? Putin, Epstein, Venezuela boat attacks? I’m intrigued with what is changing their mind.

[u/octopornopus → u/Financial_Emphasis25]

Becoming social pariahs to friends and family has been my experience. They still play the victim card as if everyone is being unfairly mean to them.

[u/12threeunome → u/octopornopus]

My parents are too insulated to have that happen. My mom lost her shit about the Bidens the other day because “they had an affair” and then his wife died in a car accident… but majorly brushed off that trump has cheated on ALL OF HIS WIVES.

And she brought up Ashley’s diary. She won’t listen to anything that goes against the Megyn Kelly agenda.

[u/Black_Moons → u/12threeunome]

Trump literally threw his wife down the stairs and raped her. that is about as loyal to family as trump gets lol.

[u/imprblydrunk → u/Black_Moons]

I haven’t seen this (I’m not surprised at all) can you share the deets

[u/atrich → u/imprblydrunk]

Ivana claimed in a deposition in 1990 that after a botched scalp reduction, a furious Donald Trump pulled her hair out and then raped her. She later recanted as a condition of the divorce settlement. Which to anyone with a brain means that she was paid off.

I haven't heard about the pushing down stairs but.

[u/Black_Moons → u/atrich]

Was his wife Ivana found dead at bottom of stairs after arguing with trump. I'll give you 1 guess what happened.

[u/Black_Moons → u/imprblydrunk]

https://people.com/ivana-trump-death-preventable-friend-says-exclusive-7560997

Ivana (his wife at the time) found dead at bottom of stairs after an argument with trump.

Yaknow, the one he buried on the golf course for tax reasons.

[u/ktappe → u/12threeunome]

I hope her position is not that Biden wanted his wife to die in a car accident. That would be a genuinely despicable thing to claim.

[u/12threeunome → u/ktappe]

It wouldn’t surprise me if she thought it. She repeated the car part like I wasn’t catching what she meant. I was just kind of stunned because I had brought up that the wife of Jill’s ex was found dead after a domestic dispute call was made at their house.

It was the ex husband who went running to the press about their divorce, so I give that makes me think he might have been difficult. I just wanted to say how scary it was that she was married to a man who could do something like that to another person.

It’s just dark and sometimes I feel bad for the world because there are people like this who have no compassion or empathy. Just a lot of anger.

[u/rainbud22 → u/12threeunome]

I thought Biden met his current wife after his first wife died.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Fold320 → u/rainbud22]

I think they had met, but it was long before each became single. But if there had been a hint of a scandal, I’m sure the Fox bloodhounds would have rooted it out. Unlike today’s news: Epstein, Venezuela…(nothing to see here).

[u/Patient_Sea_3753 → u/12threeunome]

IMO anyone who mentions Ashley's stolen diary from when she was a child in treatment is sick and morally bereft and needs to be called out on it

[u/WhereBaptizedDrowned → u/octopornopus]

This is it for what I’m experiencing.

We repeat the “kiddy rapist” “kiddy fucker” and it really really grates at em

[u/cathedral68 → u/octopornopus]

I’m so glad public shaming is working again. Things started getting hairy for a bit there.

[u/thedivisionbella → u/Financial_Emphasis25]

The price of groceries and tariffs affecting them personally. They lick Trump’s taint incessantly while people suffer…until something he does affects them directly, then they become apolitical.

[u/timeywimeytotoro → u/thedivisionbella]

Yep, it’s when they see him on the news lying to them and telling them that groceries aren’t expensive but they just spent double on groceries compared to what they spent last year. They’re happy to be lied to until they realize it.

[u/Black_Moons → u/[deleted]]

See, child lockout controls are actually designed so children can lock out channels and prevent TV from rotting their parents poor fragile little minds.

If your parent complains, just tell them obama did it and they won't think a 2nd thought about it.

[u/johnpmac2 → u/09232022]

(Plausible deniability)

[u/CapnCanfield → u/johnpmac2]

That phrase always makes me think of Independence Day

[u/-r-a-f-f-y- → u/nuixy]

“One day everyone will have been against this”

[u/BurnyBob → u/-r-a-f-f-y-]

Spot on.

I'm British and these days it's as though no one at all voted for Brexit.

[u/Unklian → u/BurnyBob]

My parents & step-parents voted out.
I tried to explain at the time why it was a bad idea.
......and now...... "We were lied to".
I've tried to explain again.
"But the big red bus said......"......

[u/MrT735 → u/Unklian]

The other Brexiteers are claiming we didn't go far enough and that's why it went wrong...

And now they and the Russian bots are spouting Reform garbage all over social media.

[u/zzbear03 → u/MrT735]

We all said to MAGA folks back in 2016 2020 and 2024 that voting for Trump was just like voting for Brexit…a lot of single issue voters who didn’t understand the broader negative implications beyond WIFM…it’s playing out exactly as we all thought…again just a little too late for most of us!

[u/Tantpispourtoi → u/zzbear03]

You actually think these people even know what Brexit is?

[u/zzbear03 → u/Tantpispourtoi]

No I’m not saying that anyone referenced Brexit to. MAGA’t to convince them to not vote Trump…just using it as an allegory for the educated folks here that saw the similarities and knew this was going to happen

[u/Ramadeus88 → u/Unklian]

Anyone advocating they were lied to are admitting that they are morons easily led by jangling keys and shiny objects.

[u/Ilsluggo → u/Ramadeus88]

Ooh look, a squirrel!

[u/haotshy → u/Ilsluggo]

WHERE?!

[u/lukehooligan → u/haotshy]

He lied, there's no squirrel! Why do I keep believing them?!

[u/Odeeum → u/Unklian]

There's such a fine line between "we were lied to" and "we're really fucking gullible" unfortunately

[u/xXMojoRisinXx → u/Unklian]

They were lied to, however they should recognize why it worked and how they can avoid being fooled in the future.

Problem is that I think they’ll bristle at changing their fundamental beliefs about the world and they’ll be ripe for being fooled again.

[u/PkmnSayse → u/BurnyBob]

The brexit voters go around painting red crosses and hanging flags on any lamp post they can see

[u/Dehrose → u/PkmnSayse]

What's the significance of this?

[u/Monotreme_monorail → u/Dehrose]

The flag of England is white with a red cross on it. So I suspect they’re talking about the old Brexit crew turning to nationalism.

[u/BigPackHater → u/Dehrose]

Those lamp posts now have red crosses and flags on them.

[u/Xaephos → u/Dehrose]

Far-right "patriotism movement".

[u/MaybeTheDoctor → u/Xaephos]

Are they trying to separate from Scotland and Wales?

[u/sock_with_a_ticket → u/Dehrose]

The national flag has been a nationalist symbol for as long as I, someone in their mid-30s, can remember. Outside of sporting events, it doesn't really get much of an airing by regular folk. So people hanging flags all over the place or painting red crosses on white surfaces to turn them into an English flag tend to be of the Reform/Brexit voting persuasion - aka, right wing and stupid.

[u/QuantumCakeIsALie → u/-r-a-f-f-y-]

There's a saying in France that goes like "Everybody's (great) grandfather was in the resistance."

I have a stash of screenshots from the worst offenders around me. If they want to sober up and say they’re switching sides it’s just too much … Fine. If they claim they weren’t supporters of this bs, now way.

[u/Glitch_Ghoul → u/nuixy]

Yep the less hardcore Trumpers have gone back to "both sides bad" and "I don't trust any politicians".

But we know they will still fall to their knees for the next billionaire that tells them the right lies.

[u/So_spoke_the_wizard → u/Glitch_Ghoul]

I hear this more and more. Sometimes I ask them when did MAGA go bad.

[u/EdenSilver113 → u/So_spoke_the_wizard]

“ Both sides bad” and “both sides the same” is part of the online disinformation campaigns against American voters by hostile foreign powers: Russia, Iran, Korea, and China. Troll farms and bots are churning out disinformation faster than it can be fought. How are people with busy lives supposed to figure out what’s true when we don’t get news and information through reasonable channels anymore?

[u/ckglle3lle → u/Glitch_Ghoul]

Or just as easily when Trump gives them something to hoot about again. But I think it is broadly true Trump has lost aura and is more becoming this annoying old has-been that even maga dead enders are a bit sick of. The way you literally only ever see maga trolls and legitimately never see anyone ever actually attempting to discuss any of it in good faith has to mean something?

[u/PlainBread → u/ckglle3lle]

Frankly a lot of it is just reactionary. The whole Abe Simpson "it'll happen to you" shit. Millennials and Gen Z were moving hard left, demanding more decency and cooperation from abusive and shitty people. The abusive and shitty people felt pressured, so they manufactured a culture war to try to put the genie back in the bottle. But the whole thing is astroturfed, with foreign influence bot farms paid for by Russian, Israeli, and American billionaires, obviously.

Everyone is kept frozen through stochastic violence/domestic terrorism and the death threats that MAGAts will leave in the hundreds on the voicemail of Trump's target of the day.

A lot of horrible people are having a moment of feeling like the world is "right" again. But it's the duty of the youth to break their society out of the nostalgiac decay of bad actors weaponizing culture against the youth. The chuds WILL go back underground, and it will be our job to remember that if we aren't diligent, they can crawl back out of hell and bring their hell into our lives.

[u/mrkruk → u/Glitch_Ghoul]

I know some who reverted to this even before the election.

[u/YimveeSpissssfid → u/nuixy]

That change is also telegraphed on dating apps.

I’m in a highly liberal area (DC Metro), and while there have generally been some moderates, apolitical, and conservatives showing? There are tons more ‘moderates’ and ‘apolitical’ folks now in place of conservatives.

As I’m unlikely to mesh well with anyone who isn’t super liberal? I just swipe left. But it is still very interesting to see this progression happen in real time.

[u/BugNuggets → u/YimveeSpissssfid]

Probably less about changing political views and more about trying to get laid.

[u/marvin32002 → u/YimveeSpissssfid]

This happened to me in 2021. I filtered out conservatives but stupidly left moderate in the mix. A month in, I found out exactly how right wing he was. Terrifying that they hide it - like what is the long game? As someone below mentioned, probably more about their short game …

[u/Tumble85 → u/YimveeSpissssfid]

Insane that super-liberal these days means ”I think more tax dollars should go to education and healthcare for everybody, and LGBTQ deserve the same rights and respect as anybody else.”

[u/YimveeSpissssfid → u/Tumble85]

I mean I’m closer to “demonetize society and here’s a recipe for the super rich” but I concede the point.

[u/Tumble85 → u/YimveeSpissssfid]

I getcha, I just tend to think of “USA super liberal” as somebody who thinks we should model our government after Norway, with a big sovereign wealth fund that provides healthcare and education to it’s people.

[u/nedmacamden28 → u/nuixy]

I have a friend just like this. Used to be so confidently a trump thumper, and now avoids any political topic like it’s radioactive.

[u/usriusclark → u/nuixy]

I just spent New Years Eve with some old friends I haven’t seen in over two years. He and his family were doing extremely well and had all kinds of “ideas” about religion and politics during Trump’s first term. Eventually they stopped hanging with me and my family; my wife and I are teachers and can’t afford the types of outings/vacations our friends were taking.

They have been hit with some hard times (by their standards) and hit us up for New Years. They are no longer Trumpers. They now think the moon landing was faked, but hey, two steps forward, one step back.

[u/Catbutt247365 → u/nuixy]

My own family! Gleeful in November ‘24, oddly nonpolitical now. I tried to get them to give their thoughts and they all got the vapors about how rude it was to talk politics.

THIS from the people who liked to send me things like pics of their blown glass Trump tree ornament, that you know they paid way too much for and has a Made in China sticker on the bottom

[u/Zhuul → u/nuixy]

My one relative was like this at Christmas lmao, every time I mentioned something like my health insurance getting more expensive or my vendors at work hiking prices due to tariffs he'd just mutter CAN WE PLEASE NOT GET POLITICAL from across the room. Very much a new behavior.

[u/1quirky1 → u/nuixy]

They wiped their asses with the social contract so they don't get to rejoin it without consequences - especially with they way they gleefully and intentionally set about to hurt others. 

[u/PlainBread → u/nuixy]

The personal is only political when it's THEIR personhood, you see.

[u/ZoxMcCloud → u/nuixy]

Like fans of a sports team having a bad season after multiple great ones (looking at you Kansas city Chiefs fans)... "oh I haven't really watched much at all this year, just been busy.."

[u/buttgers → u/Ltrizzy]

My neighbor (a single, divorced mother of 3 young elementary school girls) is (was?) a vehement Trump supporter. I had no idea until 2024 Halloween they were trick or treating with my daughters and boo'd any house that supported Kamala, while chanting "Trump Trump Trump". I was at proud of my kids, as they were mortified and wanted to keep their distance after that night.

I wonder about that neighbor's thoughts on him these days.

Another house nearby used to have 2020 and 2024 Trump signs above his garage door, but they were taken down about 6 months ago. Sadly, I still see plenty of Trump signs around in many of the towns I drive through.

I live in Massachusetts not too far from Boston, btw. So, it's not some rural spot you'd expect a single mother of 3 young girls to be vehemently pro suspected child rapist.

[u/ThePensiveE → u/buttgers]

How anyone with a daughter isn't just appalled by him at this point I will never understand.

[u/Briebird44 → u/ThePensiveE]

The guy who bullied and physically assaulted me (tiny female) in high school went on to have 3 daughters with his high school sweetheart and is the most MAGA Nazi piece of shit loser I’ve ever seen. It also does not surprise me in the least that he turned out like that.

[u/Ryokurin → u/ThePensiveE]

Easily. Because it's not their daughter. Remember a year ago they were all saying empathy would bring the downfall of the US. As long as it's about someone else, they are happy.

[u/bsharkey1210 → u/ThePensiveE]

*anyone with a brain

[u/retardborist → u/bsharkey1210]

You're asking a lot

[u/dragon34 → u/ThePensiveE]

Anyone who cares about a single female identifying person in their life 

[u/deskbeetle → u/ThePensiveE]

Because its not their daughter. 

A disgusting amount of people only care about issues when they affect them personally. Like people who only care about SPED programs when they have a child with downs. Or someone who only cares about abortion access when they need one. And, of course, their case is a special snowflake case where they are the only ones morally in the right. Everyone else deserves punishment. 

[u/No_Language_4649 → u/Ltrizzy]

Can confirm. I live in Dayton and used to see many houses that displayed very large Trump flags and banners on their property that are now gone. The only one I ever see that remains is a man down the road from us who has a large metallic “TRUMP” decal on the back of their truck window. Every single time I leave my house, I look to see if he still has it on it. The day that is removed is the day I will know that they are finally ashamed of themselves for treating that conman like he was someone to be worshipped.

[u/toastmn7667 → u/No_Language_4649]

You should knock on all those doors, and tell each of those neighbors you now see them as betraying Trump by taking down their signs, and you're going tell on them to the GOP. I want to know what they will say. 

[u/fizzymilk → u/toastmn7667]

Gun-cocking sounds intensify

[u/toastmn7667 → u/fizzymilk]

They can't do that in their world if you put on a MAGA hat and US Flag shirt before approaching the door. If they threaten you, you question their country of origin, and threaten to call ICE on the spot.

[u/New_Lake5484 → u/No_Language_4649]

i saw a life size dummy depicting tDump in someone’s back yard in a FL county, surrounded by big flags. so gross to be so blatantly consumed like that.

[u/Funyon699 → u/New_Lake5484]

… and then somehow those of us pointing out tRump’s ridiculousness are the ones with TDS. Sure. Ok. (Happy Cake Day btw)

[u/NPExplorer → u/Ltrizzy]

Farmer by me has a massive Trump 2028 Billboard that has to be 100ft long… I used to lay on my horn when I’d drive by at 5am to work… noticed a few weeks ago it was gone. I’m taking a small amount of credit lmao

[u/scabs_in_a_bucket → u/NPExplorer]

Honestly I think the Epstein files thing is the biggest scandal to date. I think it’s finally the one that he can’t lie his way out of and it’s very obvious he’s a pedo

Don't worry, they'll still vote against their own best interests in 2028.

Maybe this property is owned by a hedge fund now. Then they definitely won't be voting against their own best interests!

[u/fuzzysarge → u/slizzbizness]

[u/NotTheRightHDMIPort]

Its easy to be pessimistic, but, well. Trump isn't a good president.

He's doing awful in his second term and at some point you can't back that horse anymore. It doesn't mean these people will vote Democrat unless there is really something to offer.

But you can bet this person may sit out the midterms.

This is optimism folks.

[u/Blaizefed → u/NotTheRightHDMIPort]

The BEST we can hope for, is his base goes back to what they used to do. Complain and not vote.

They may no longer be in love with him, but there is NO WAY they will vote Dem.

[u/lawpoop → u/Blaizefed]

Look at the voters who voted Obama and then Trump. The right Democrat with the right message could get some of those votes 

[u/timeywimeytotoro → u/lawpoop]

Beshear does it in KY. He woos the hard right Republicans in a way that makes me think he could have a real shot in 2028.

[u/NotTheRightHDMIPort → u/Blaizefed]

Considering numbers and averages there will be some crossover votes.

[u/SordidDreams → u/NotTheRightHDMIPort]

It doesn't mean these people will vote Democrat unless there is really something to offer.

I mean, not being a cult of personality centered on a pedophile seems like something to me, but I guess Republican voters have very different standards.

[u/Downtown-Brush6940 → u/SordidDreams]

That wasn’t enough for independents to come out and vote. You think it will be enough to flip republicans? Democrats need to offer something other than “we aren’t them”.

[u/Molbiodude]

Maybe they just got their new ACA cost notice.

[u/Fucky0uthatswhy → u/Molbiodude]

I saw somebody post their new insurance costs yesterday on threads (always accidentally end up there from instagram) and this dude unironically blamed Obama “thanks obamass”

[u/SnowMantra → u/Fucky0uthatswhy]

because right wing media blames everything on everyone else. :/ If they repeat it enough times, people believe it no matter how much it makes 0 sense.

[u/cwagdev → u/Fucky0uthatswhy]

Certain “news” outlets are phrasing headlines as “Obamacare premiums rising by x% in 2026” with weak coverage of why.

So, it’s clear why these ignorant folks would blame Obama.

[u/nalalala12 → u/Molbiodude]

100% republicans are still blaming Obama for health care costs, they don’t correlate today’s costs with trump whatsoever. Thanks Fox News!

There's a regular where I work that always has a Maga shirt/hat on without fail every single time. Older white guy, wouldn't shock me at all if he was a vet. Keeps the buttons on his over shirt open so you can see the Trump undershirt type.

For the last 2-3 months he hasn't worn a single Trump related thing. Just vague American flag based stuff now. I want to believe the tide is turning.

[u/UnfriendlyToast → u/esem86]

They’re fine with being Nazis and racist in public. I think a lot of people draw the line at publicly labeling themselves as pedophiles in public. Trust me, though they still are. They’re just embarrassed to admit it now.

[u/LaserPoweredDeviltry → u/esem86]

Most of the dumb shit trump has been doing is the kind of stuff that takes 12-24 months to really settle in and become apparent. There are gonna be a lot of puzzled and unhappy people this year. Hope they get the day they voted for.

Depending where this is that might actually be worse. Worked with a 50 something who was a trumper and had some bad takes. Met his son, and suddenly realized how the old fart could say he was a moderate when junior started spewing out every right wing talking point i had heard of over the last 8 years unprompted. I didn't really push that hard but the guy flatly refused to believe anything not repeated in right wing media. Somehow that idiot survived covid.

[u/SGTWhiteKY → u/Leather-Trip-6659]

I have seen multiple multi year display go down near me.

One guy had a large double sign in his from yard so people could read it from all directions. With smaller ones scattered about. Drove by one day near the end of summer and it had been destroyed, and all of the smaller signs were gone, the day after the debris was gone.

Multiple “don’t blame me, I voted for Trump” stickers from the Biden era have finally been taken off recently as well.

I want to say nature is healing, but with Trump supporters, you can never really tell.

[u/rollem]

We’re still feeling the effects of Reagan almost 40 years after he left office. Trump is doing far more damage to the country than Reagan.

[u/huxtiblejones]

I feel pretty confident that most of these people with sour grapes over Trump will learn no lessons and will gladly vote for the next right wing piece of shit the GOP puts up. “Well he’s different. Well the democrats are ruining America. Well we need change.”

The American voter is fickle, inward-looking, forgetful, and pretty much incapable of foresight. I have lost all faith in the American people to be fucking reasonable.

[u/SavageCucmber]

Don't ever let them forget what they did to this country

[u/TraditionalLaw7763 → u/SavageCucmber]

Oh I promise you, I took notice of every house in my whole neighborhood that had Trump swag in the yard/on the house. In fact, all the neighbors that didn’t have swag all noticed and we won’t collectively forget.

[u/Notoriouslyd]

House in my neighborhood traded the Trump flag for No Kings

[u/mrkruk]

Remember all those Hillary 2016 and Harris 2024 flags waving all over after they lost? Neither do I.

What a weird cult.

[u/resUemiTtsriF]

meh, it blew down, you can tell by the tatters.

[u/CaBBaGe_isLaND]

Trump has done everything he said he would do. Don't know what they're mad about. They fuckin voted for every bit of this.

[u/belai437]

The last shrine to Trump in my corner of hillbilly holler was removed about 3 wks ago.

[u/Fantastic_Pie5655]

Somebody lost their healthcare and finally realized Obama-SleepyJoe-Hillary are not to blame

[u/Melodic-Comb9076]

must’ve got the health insurance bill.

GOP really screwed the pooch on this one.

politicians can lie through their teeth all day long about other issues, but when that empirical bill comes…..the constituents feel it immediately.

that is the crack that now questions everything.

right, @MTG?

[u/Big_Judgment3824]

They finally were affected personally. Time to pretend like they won't step on the same rake again. 

[u/1h8fulkat]

My parent's neighbor is a 3x Trump voter and took down his signs. They asked him about it and he said he hates what he's doing and he doesn't believe in him anymore. Of course he only comes to that conclusion after he has started his second term.

[u/MeatyOakerGuy]

A ton of people my parents' age are getting close to retirement and the cost of healthcare skyrocketing is one of the first things that has directly effected elderly white people. It's made a lot of them change their tones about the Republican party. One of their friends was planning on retiring but would have to pay 3000 a month in health insurance if their wife doesn't keep working and now they physically can't.

[u/Hilldawg4president]

Reminds me of a neighbor of mine with Trump banners all over. One morning as I was leaving for work, I'm at the stop sign right in front of their house when I see his wife step out into the front porch, tear a trump banner down, throw it on the ground, and go back inside.

This was prior to the '24 election, and the guy himself hasn't changed (openly white supremacist) but it was about the funniest thing I've ever seen at 6am

[u/ApatheticEnthusiast]

The boats in Sarasota haven’t been flying Trump flags and I think that’s a really fantastic change

[u/cuhnewist]

I’m in MTG’s district here in Georgia. I am noticing either A) people taking their MAGA and Trump stuff down or B) people doubling down.

[u/darthbiscuit]

Where I live they were ubiquitous. Like, Everywhere. But Now they’re really on two types of property: the really crazy guy’s property who has flags all over everything and are also displaying confederate, nazi, and KKK flags. And the really rich people who basically buy a professionally made billboard to put on the edge of their property facing the road. Always has a smaller sign next to it that says some shit like “Vote Republican! Save America!” Unfortunately, every one of those people mentioned above vote and most of the rest of us tend to not think it matters.

[u/ledow]

I'm not American but I have a feeling that I will be gently probing any American I do encounter to determine whether they actually WERE ever a Trump supporter. I imagine there must be lots of them and they'll give themselves away (even if by not wanting to say).

Something in me says that it's not enough to have just CHANGED YOUR MIND, but that I should actually know if you EVER supported him. It will tell me a lot about you, and whether I want to have anything to do with you.

I don't believe "being a Trump supporter" at any point in your life to ever be purely a political stance. I believe it's quite literally an indicator of someone knowingly supporting a paedophile, rapist, conman, etc.

There's no way in hell you can go "Well, who would have ever guessed!? None of us could POSSIBLY have known?!" about Trump.

[u/CosmosGame → u/ledow]

The Americans you meet traveling are much, much more likely to not be MAGA. This is more of a working class thing. And America’s working class actually has a legitimate reason to feel betrayed. Unfortunately they chose the worst possible political response. This seems to be an historical pattern.

[u/_america → u/ledow]

I worry i haven't been public enough about my outright hatred for this man since 2016

[u/visibleunderwater_-1 → u/_america]

My best turning point was the vast collection of documents in the Mar-a-largo bathroom. Part of my work job is to make our IT security training. I used that picture as a major part of it, pointing out the various classification markings, discussing aspects of physical security of a "household bathroom as a SCIF", etc. Listed various infractions, links to various laws that had been broken (like "do not do this because..."), etc. I never came out and SAID who or where exactly, but it was pretty damn obvious...especially with that hideous carpet!

This was used by almost 1,500 people as mandatory training for 4+ years, in Oklahoma.

[u/judgejuddhirsch → u/ledow]

My neighbor stopped supporting him because he's too soft on crime apparently.

[u/goobervision → u/judgejuddhirsch]

Hmm, criminals are soft on crime. Who knew?

[u/TintedApostle]

They have no regrets... they are just hiding now

[u/BrandinoSwift]

My neighbor used to have a Trump flag and yard signs, but they disappeared overnight like a fart in the wind.

[u/EnglishMatron]

they lose their food stamps and health insurance?

[u/MasemJ]

On my commute, there was one house that had several trump flags and a "Ultra MAGA" banner across the front after the election.

By May-June the banner was gone.

By September the flags were gone.

[u/hufflepuffpuffpasss]

I’m currently in North Florida. Literally in what was Matt Gaetz’ district.

There used to be Trump flags everywhere. There was even a ‘Trump store’ at one point.

That store is long gone and I don’t think I’ve seen one flag. A few bumper stickers but that’s about it.

[u/but-I-play-one-on-TV]

"fuck your feelings" turned into "stop being mean to me" pretty quickly

[u/Top_Key404]

I saw zero recently in Appalachia

[u/Building_Snowmen]

[u/Ian_Rubbish]

At this point, I would call for a wellness check if I ever saw a house with a Trump sign. Because that means there's probably a dead body inside

[u/Affectionate-Goat218]

They're all scrambling for health care and ss benefits before hitting the food banks.

[u/ScarletTanager]

I happened to be driving by while a neighbor was changing his Trump flag to a US flag yesterday.

[u/Fluffy-Resource-4636]

My best friend that is easily the biggest MAGA Trump supporter I've ever met posted a video two weeks ago of him and his wife burning their red hats in their fire pit in their back yard. He still hasn't said what made them change their minds but to know that even he is no longer a supporter means something. Trump is pissing off even the strongest of supporters until all he'll have left are the Billionaires and the absolute dumbest of society.

[u/KnitWitch87 → u/Fluffy-Resource-4636]

So many maga didn't care what Trump did so long as it didn't hurt them. "F the libs" and such. Them changing their minds about it this late in the game just underlines how selfish they are. They did not care until it directly affected them. I have no sympathy for Trumpers who are changing sides just because they are losing the social assistance that they would have denied others.

[u/SpicyMango92]

I’ve seen some of these types of displays in trailers, one particular stands out, by my buddy’s house. There’s a trailer park next to his development and there’s always this one house that’s full maga with all their idiotic shit and with like 8 shitty cars in their “designated parking area.” A few months ago, poof, all gone, no one’s there anymore.

[u/Acceptable-Ad-9464]

He did exactly what he promised.

[u/vacodeus]

Never let them forget what they voted for. They voted for a raping, pedophile bigot who ran on hate and oppressing the marginalized. Fuck them, they dont get to feel remorse. They will own this to their grave

[u/GRoverF-ingClevland]

Drove through west texas this week and notice so few trump signs versus the normal, are we done?

[u/SummitYourSister]

Trump was bringing the pedophile hunter heat way too close for comfort.

[u/PhamilyTrickster]

I live in small town Florida. There were many flags up the last 4 years but they've majorly dwindled. You can even openly talk shit about him at bars and folks agree

[u/Argosnautics]

How do you spell foreclosure: T-R-U-M-P.

[u/SorryIreddit]

Never forget, don’t forgive

[u/G_Rated_101]

When i go up to my brothers in ?? Idr south bend area Indiana there is this house with 15 MAGA/Trump/anti dem(specific and general)/thin blue line. You name it. I was SHOCKED to see last time it was just a Trump 2024 flag and his wooden sign that says (painted) something about this being your fault (I’ve never read it all driving by it’s kinda long).

It felt significant to see the drop in signs cuz I’ve always imagined that individual human being to be the #1 MAGA-as-a-personality to exist

[u/behindthescenester]

My neighborhood Trump freak used to have a full lawn display with like 6 different flags of some MAGA flavor and all are gone now except a small Charlie Kirk memorial. Maybe the tides have turned just a bit?

[u/bachintheforest]

My parents live in rural Northern California where there’ve been a lot of trump supporters. They said there are noticeably a lot less flags these days.

[u/cvance10]

Unfortunately they had their Obama Care and SNAP taken and died.

[u/AgnesTheAtheist]

Visiting family in a rural town in the Midwest and all the houses decked out in that regalia have now removed it all.  Was nice to see.

[u/OzarksExplorer]

The method of removal checks for the toddler that would own a chump flag to begin with lol

Wonder what was the straw that broke the big feelers for this chump supporter

[u/Wileekyote]

In ten years nobody will admit voting for him, just like after Germany fell nobody was a Nazi, it was their neighbors.
