GRAPEVINE, TEXAS — Joseph Bolick feels betrayed by President Donald Trump. And it’s because of the war in Iran.
The 30-year-old Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran voted for Trump in 2024. But at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference gathering this week he sported a hat emblazoned with “America First” — a slogan Trump championed during his campaign, along with the promise not to start new wars in foreign countries.
“He’s lied about everything,” said Bolick. “If you go into a war where there’s no end game, how is it going to end? There’s no clear objective.”
They aren’t turning on him. He’s not on shaky ground. You people are damn fools I’d you believe that.
Most Republicans are not turning on Trump, true. But it doesn’t take more than ~5% switching from Republican to Democrat, to make Republicans never win a national election again.
Looking in from Europe, the immovability of US voters is quite bizarre to me. Most people I know don’t have being a “Republican” or similar as part of their personal identity.
That’s not them turning on Trump. That’s them being so conditioned to cheer for anything they hear on stage that they’re just mindlessly cheering. You can’t honestly think they’re wanting to impeach Trump, come on man, there’s no way you’re that fucking stupid to believe that.
They cheered repeatedly, but since you’re too “fucking stupid” to read the article we’re done here.
I watched the video man, christ.
“America First”? Trump is not wrong, he simply didn’t tell you the verb. “Sell America First”.
You back a fucker because they’ll fuck someone you hate. Well, its only a matter of time before the fucker fucks you.
So the war is the straw that broke the camel’s back? Not that he’s a rapist or a convicted felon? Not that he let Musk destroy the government? Or that ICE is running rampant kidnapping and killing Americans and people of other nationalities? Or that he illegally sunk foreign boats in international waters? Or that he is trying undermine the constitution they hold so dear? Or that he raised the cost of living? Or he killed a million Americans by pretending Covid wasn’t real and told people to try stupid things?
No, it’s not.
This is just the 100th iteration of “this time they will really start to criticise Trump”. And then the cult gets new orders and instantly they will fall silent and shift their opinion as instructed to match their new reality.
These people really took 1984 as an instruction manual.

Yep. I’ve stopped thinking any straw will break the camel’s back of maga. They seem willing to accept literally any behavior from him. Every one of these articles about disillusioned trumpers never seems to have a basis in more than one or two anecdotal examples. These headlines exist only to provide copium (or maybe hopium) to the rest of us.

That’s entirely a matter of perspective, or more precise here: timing.
That wide outrage really exists. But it is very short-lived and just a case of “waiting on new instruction how to think”.
a rapist
Yeah, but he’s just getting what men should be getting, the concept of ‘rape’ doesn’t make sense since women shouldn’t have a say in it
convicted felon
That’s just those libs falsely persecuting him you see.
let Musk destroy the government?
The biggest thing was this super liberal sounding US AID where we help people who should be lifting themselves up by their bootstraps
kidnapping and killing Americans and people of other nationalities
You mean those spanish speaking people who don’t speak American good enough? Or the libs that deserve what they got for being libs?
sunk foreign boats in international waters
Yeah, those were some of them non-Muricans again, good riddance
undermine the constitution
Yeah, but imagine how much that’ll own the libs!
pretending Covid wasn’t real and told people to try stupid things?
Covid wasn’t real, and if it was, it wasn’t his fault and I’m sure Fauci is somehow to blame…
he raised the cost of living
Well, that’s where we are now, my 10 mile to the gallon vehicle now costs hundreds of dollars to fill up, and that is what matters. All to help out some jews that MAGA largely otherwise looks down upon.
War affects their pocketbook in a more concrete way.
These people have always been selfish.
him being a pedophile racist dictator with a long documented history of lying and grifting was a good thing for his supporters. they saw him as relatable.
the problem for them is that gas prices went up. so now it affects them a little bit.
And the young Republicans boys don’t want to be sent to war ! They may be stupid but they know who gets sent to wars.
I hope you all get dragged out of Mom’s house to go to Basic, dumbasses.
For every idiot who voted for it, an innocent young person is also shoved into it. So I can’t hope for forcing it.
However, I’m all for pushing manly men proud boys to sign up for basic. Would teach them what actually serving is like. Not the CoD wet dream they have, but cleaning and replacing tires on humvees.
If you voted for Trump again in 2024, thats on you. Anybody with half a brain knew he lies as naturally as he breaths.
*breathes
Very helpful
“Read my lips, no new wars”?
Politicians lie. Who knew?
Dumb people believe those lies.
It’s interesting watching it. A lot of conservative voters are old enough to remember the shitshow of the Iraq war and I wonder if that’s part of what’s making them sweat
Because…
as usual
It’s finally affecting them personally. Gas and diesel prices are rising. Wait until food starts to go higher again.
A 66 percent majority of older MAGA men are willing to sacrifice American lives in order for the U.S. to achieve its goals in Iran, compared with less than half of younger MAGA men who say the same.
Yeah no shit. The younger guys are the ones who are gonna get shot and blown up.
Translation: A 66 percent majority of older MAGA men are willing to sacrifice
Americanother people’s lives.And the younger MAGA men would also support it, as long as it was guaranteed to be other young men and not them specifically.
What goals would those be? Would it be opening the Strait of Hormuz? Or how about an Iran without nuclear weapons?
Funny how we had both of those “goals” before the shitgibbon started the war.
b-but Iran was 2 weeks away from having nuclear weapons…
The goal is avoiding punishment for raping all those children over the past 40ish years
Excuse me, its now the Strait of Trump. Did you not watch the God Emperor say so yesterday?
Did he actually say that?
I stopped paying attention for like 5 minutes and he does about 11 stupid things.
He did: https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/27/trump-strait-of-hormuz-iran-war.html
Can you imagine the screeching of Fox News, if Obama had done that even in jest? And Trump is not joking, Trump never “jokes”.
Every Democrat:
Sitouts: yea but we need to save gaza! Fuck all of the countries! And especially fuck ourselves!
At least no one had the option to vote against genocide.
