    I think that is changing, albeit slowly. I have an avid Alex Jones-listening co-worker and he’s now very, very, unhappy with the whole Epstein stuff coming out, the tax code changes and permanent breaks for the bilionaires and the H2B visa worker prefereces Trump has (oh that last one pissed him off mightily, called Trump a bilionaire classist, which it honestly shocked me to hear coming from his lips…)

    For years before the election, my Trump warnings were all “lies” from the left and now that more people around Trump are distacing themselves as Triump’s instability and corruption take hold… it’s changing…

    I used to constantly hear that I had TDS for not liking Trump…

    Recently, I flipped that back on co-worker and told him he had Trump Delusion Syndrome, in that he actually believed Trump was looking out for working people and cared about stopping child abuse…(He was certain Trump was gonna release the Epstein Files like he promised that he’d do once he became President… Gonna expose all those baby-eating, child-fucker Demon-rats after all… right? Nope. Covered his own pedo ass is what Trump did.)

    Got nothing back in return, but a half-hearted grumble so that told me right there that more than a few pennies dropped.

    No more Trump banners or those tattered flag 1776 stickers on his truck. It’s all gone. No more MAGA hat.

    It’s changing… slowly with some. I dont attack, but offer even MORE ugly truths about things that weren’t even on co-worker’s radar.

    Ultimately, it starts with individuals and I’m having SO much fun gently poking holes in that Trumpist idolatry in the MAGA folks in my orbit.
