My wifes family lives in Georgia, MTGs district actually. My wife speaks to her Mom regularly and last night she said that my brother in law and his wife arent voting for Trump. The wife is voting for Biden while my brother in law just wont vote for Trump. Neither one is voting for MTG - they cant stand her.
My parents in law are New Dealish Dems so we knew how theyd vote.
My brother in law and his wife are solid Republicans mostly just to pay less taxes. My brother in law is most certainly a millionaire- self earned. With his wifes vote probably means her parents too who are also consistently Republican.
Theyve had it with Trump. My brother would be a great primary candidate against MTG but he has better things to do like hunting on his land in Kentucky and taking care of his horses at home.

I still can't imagine what these people think Trump did that was "good".

(3,091 posts)I've hated him from before June 2015, but I knew he was the front-runner, even though I was routinely laughed at for saying in 15 & 16. A current list if his supposed good things,
The current boom is from his tax bill causing capital to repatriate.
First step act and other supposed things for minorities.
No new military engagements and "peace in the Middle East".
So all hype and misdirection. I just emphasize those tax cuts have quiet hikes to everyone else happening stepwise that hit on years like this as we file and get squeezed more. There wasn't peace. And you focus on how huge Biden's two spending bills have been. I proudly say how we are fixing all the bridges and lots of our roads. And it wasn't as big as Biden wanted, so the effects have been less than the origional plan. Still super strong economy, though not for all but those issues are the wealthy and GOP preventing most of our plans.

Yeah, his supporters' memories are very selective and mostly they just make stuff up to fit their fuzzy memories.

(27,579 posts)A percentage point there. Its starting to add up. MAGA wont desert Trump but there are plenty of Republicans left who arent MAGA. Support for Trump is peeling away with them.
A couple of percentage points makes all the difference in a close election.

(34,021 posts)Sadly, many of them keep it a secret that they have finally had it with Chump. They're embarrassed and they don't want to be scorned by their friends who are too dumb/stubborn to see the light.
So a lot of the former MAGAs just quietly pretend they're still supporters, and then they go to the polls and leave it blank on the top slot. "No Vote for Chump" is almost as good as voting for Joe Biden.
This is going to happen all over the country. Wait and see - people are going to be shocked.
