The cracks are forming... [View all]

I live in bright red northern Indiana where Trump won by 40 points in 2024 and yesterday gas here went up to $4.79 some stations $4.99. Now remind you the most I’ve ever seen it sell for here previously is 4.29. While coming into work this morning I hear some convos taking place and a couple guys that were 3 time Trump voters were saying “I didn’t vote for this! I didn’t vote for a war and California gas prices!” The other said “yeah it sucks but it’d probably be worse if Trump had lost”. That’s the cope I guess, but at least I have heard to previous cult members basically say Trump sucks. If 3 time voters are turning any soft Trump support is long out the window.
