There is a tipping point when MAGA followers are forced into situations where they must rely on their neighbour and mutual aid. They’ll be forced out of necessity to interact with people across the aisle who are giving them compassion.
You’re already seeing republicans flipping before that point from the DOGE cuts. Also, the governor of Kentucky is already flipping after their largest purchaser by a long-shot, Canada, took all their booze off the shelves.
I think this overlooks how most MAGAs are rural… and when you live rural you already rely on your neighbors. Most of which are also white and the exceptions are ““one of the good ones.”” It’s why they can demonize entire demographics and still feeling like a good person since they’re good neighbors.
They’re not going to stop blaming ‘the others’ for hardships… They’re just going increase complaints about ‘the government’ and how much they pay in taxes.
I grew up in Amish country/farmland and it’s painful to see how stagnant my family has been over the years.
I actually disagree.

The question is, will I have reached a breaking point where I will no longer be willing to help them?
By the time we reach that point, there won’t be an aisle. There won’t be a government.
Doubt (x) seeing as he was elected twice, they won’t ever learn it will always be the “other guys” politician’s fault
Andy Beshear isn’t a Republican who flipped, he’s always been a Democrat.
I really hope that this is what’s gonna happen.
