Trump's base is looking more and more like a cracked pot that can no longer hold together if moved or even poked that hard.

Original Trump or Die types like MTG and Tucker Carlson have split hard, others are raising concerns where previously the line was toed tight.

This news won't move the needle much, but larger issues like obvious corruption, Epstein files (still, ffs), the Iran NotWar and foreign policy in general are all exerting pressure.

November will be interesting, a time to see the resolution between cooking the electoral books to gin up the appearance of support and the increasing signs that chunks of the old base won't show in sufficient numbers to maintain control.

The ones that split mostly did because it’s not profitable anymore, one podcaster that has been faithful had layoffs due to losing listeners
His basket (of deplorables) overfloweth. So many people who care not for the country or what's happening at all, but who have been totally sold into the anti-government Reaganism & conspiracy & anti-socialness being sold for decades and hyped up forever on Fox News & now far worse viral vectors.

The new rebels don't succeed, don't leave: they just work to destroy & rot away every institution, turn it into sick farce & joke, erode the nation whole 250 years latter. Because rich people cannot stand a state that endorses the welfare of the people.
