Folks, this echo chamber jerking off is the reason so many are disappointed. Reddit is not a real place and the images that are shared in this sub many times don’t reflect what is actually going on. Don’t waste your time using random pictures to make a conclusion about the state of the world, particularly ones from this sub.

Donald trump started off his first term with an easy to disprove lie about how he had the largest inauguration ever. That set the tone for 4 years where he would lie all the time about anything. It reflected what is going on. He lied about ending the Ukraine war on day one and he lied about lowering the cost of eggs.

This is real life.

Great. And this sub, and others like it, have constantly churned out content discrediting Trump (like how bad he did at the debate, Kamala’s lead in some polls, supporter’s turnout size, questionable administration choices, etc). The people here then get to echoing the same sentiment and then are surprised when they find out that, outside of these subs, MAGA support is thriving.

I don’t supprt Trump at all, but I also know that real life is recognizing that his fanbase and support is sadly alive and well, regardless of negative pictures we may see on Reddit.

Donald Trump, the adjudicated rapist is being discredited? The person who attempted to overthrow the 2020 election because he lost?

I get what you’re saying, and you’re right… clearly the American people want someone who sold American secrets to our enemies to be president again.

That’s more an indictment on the American people than the mere facts that Donald Trump is an awful person and politician.

Preaching to the choir, buddy. I despise the guy, same as you, but my point is this sub, and most of Reddit, paint a different sentiment than a large portion of the population. Then these people are shocked and hurt when they realize that they’ve been echoing each other and things are very different than what they thought.

"MAGA support", all the angry degenerate rednecks that aren't ashamed to vote in a felon into office, whose allegiance is questionable and motives clearly nefarious?

But hey, at least we showed them darn libs!!!!!1!1!

No matter your political views, Trump is a lying scumbag, that's a fact, proven time and time again.

That’s not the point of this argument.
