    We dont need to flip most of their supporters to change things radically. Flipping 1 in 10 would do it

      Absolutely correct. More people need to understand what flipping just 10% on the end of the spectrum would do

        Last time I ran the numbers in 2024 it would take more than 10% to get the 17 Senate seats needed to impeach. While that may have changed I still feel folks over estimate the impact of something like this on that voting population with the propaganda engine in place.

      That’s what people aren’t getting. We will never have 100% come back to reality. Many are lost to the MAGA fantasy forever. We’ll deal with them later.

      We just need to wake up enough of them to weaken their voting base to either switch parties, or refuse to vote at all. Nothing is worse than someone who has been converted. Ex-MAGAs will be Trump’s worst nightmare.
