In reply to the discussion: Trump's Approval Falls to 37% [View all]pat_k
(12,798 posts)That means he is only holding an additional 10% - 15% or so.
And I would bet that a least half of that 10%-15% identify with MAGA in response to the overwhelming/normalizing social pressure of the belief that "everyone" supports trump that they experience living in deep red places.
The numbers of trump voters abandoning him is creeping up. And every percentage point it creeps up changes the dynamics. It exposes what was always the truth. No matter how red the county, the belief that "everyone is MAGA" was always a lie. People who actually believe in fundamental values and believe in shared aspirations of what a "more perfect union" would actually look like, were always there. (Including the belief that passing laws that impose religious beliefs on those who don't share them is immoral, Un-American, and deeply Un-Christian. Attempts to force and control are thee OPPOSITE of faith.)
The number of people who recognize MAGA is going in a seriously WRONG direction is growing. MAGA opposition is going to continue to be more visible across "red" America. And that sort of change in the social dynamics is powerful
The snowball is begining to roll. It will pick up speed as social pressure cracks.
