MAGAs experience buyer’s remorse
Donald Trump’s MAGA base seems to be experiencing some buyer’s remorse.
Buzzfeed cautions that these are collected online comments “and not necessarily fact.” Nevertheless:
On r/AskConservatives, one person asked, “How many of you are upset that Trump lied about ‘no new wars’?” People did not hold back their thoughts. Here’s what some self-described conservatives had to say:
1. “I am. I don’t think people realize how much of a shit show the Middle East is right now and how infuriating it is for our government to start a war for a foreign country.”
—Vindictives9688, Right Libertarian (Conservative)
2. “Absolutely infuriating indeed. ‘No new wars’ is the most blatant lie a president has said in a long time.”
—dudeabiding420, Right Libertarian (Conservative)
3. “At this point, I think Trump has completely betrayed half of his campaign promises.”

4. “I really think the Republicans have lost so many people that supported them in 2024 and are about to get absolutely obliterated in the midterms. The skyrocketing gas prices alone are going to doom them. Not to mention the mishandling of the Epstein files.”
—dudeabiding420, Right Libertarian (Conservative)
This one evokes dystopian films:
11. “My wife said, ‘I’m done with him.’ She mentioned the Epstein files, in that he ran on releasing those, and then suddenly didn’t want to release them. After that, he said he wasn’t going to start wars, especially with Iran, and instead became a puppet of Israel and started this war. She acknowledged how terrible Iran’s government is, but ‘Why is it our responsibility to take care of that? Did we learn nothing from Iraq?’ Honorable mention, the handling of Anthropic. ‘Do we want Terminators running around freely??? Wtf??!!’ The midterms are going to be a nightmare for the GOP.”

Things are a nightmare now.
