    Two things going on here:

    They’re eating their own and their purity tests are getting too far over the top to get votes.

    They see the writing on the wall. Trump’s going to lose and the rats are abandoning ship. “He’s just not the same guy!”

      He’s their only guy, though. No one else can pull off the shit Trump gets away with. It’s his cult of personality, and when he’s gone their party will be left with nothing but ash and cinders.

        We aren’t gonna need porn anymore if you keep talking to me like that.

        Edit: I thought I was in the thread about the Project 2025 guy explaining how age verification laws are going to be used to shut down porn sites. I stand by the joke but it’s more confusing than funny without that context.

          Oh I definitely agree even in this context. Watching the Neonazis implode and vanish would be wanking material for the rest of my life: Lady Liberty pegging the Bigots.

        Everyone else has some level of shame, guilt, or mild intelligence that prevents them from, say, drawing on a weather map to pretend they were right. But that’s what his Trumpanzees want, a bigoted schoolyard bully.

      It’s the mental gymnastics convincing themselves that he totally wasn’t this way earlier, they’re obviously not stupid. They don’t want him anymore, but it made sense back then
