    Once he takes away the food stamps from his gravy seals (or similarly disenfranchises folks with nothing left to lose), hell accidentally unleash the crazies on himself.

    West Virginians are already fuming with Trump’s lack of help with their current floods (oddly missing from the news cycles). The sentiment among WV trump voters is being echoed in interviews statewide, “We showed up for him. He’d better show up for us soon.”

    West Virginians all unanimously reporting “We need to fund FEMA more.”

    This process will be slow, but what’s happening in WV right now looks like a potential sleeper flashpoint for the erosion of his base.

    I think it’s missing from news cycles to limit the spread of this damage to Trump’s base’s support for MAGA.

      He’ll spin it that Biden did it in league with deep state drag queens and also Canada.

      And his base will accept it because they’re simple folk.

        Red state captive here. The trumpanzees don’t give a shit. The individual feds that got axed by Trump are pretty upset, but the ones that weren’t directly targeted still just play damage control for the fucker any time you bring it up.
