what evidence do you have that this is true. at this point, a new theory of physics will be trotted out that shows a pendulum does not have to swing back. it will become trending on all the socials so that people believe. it therefore becomes the de facto truth, and the cult remains

I don't really get that impression, in my experience people just realize cancelling is a two-way street and stop it

I’ve been told “I’m making someone uncomfortable” and I said “they’re making me uncomfortable”, and follow that up with “why are you privileging their discomfort over mine” and when they or the mob say something gendered or sexist as the explanation, then I get to cancel all of them or get a nice fat paycheck

I thought canceling never stopped. It was just politically motivated.

(Ironically, Dems eat their own for that stuff, so maybe "politically motivated" doesn't quite capture it... compare e.g. Al Franken and Katie Hill vs Roy Moore or Matt Gaetz)

Democrats cancel and Republicans mostly double down. I don’t think there is anything Trump can do at this point to horrify or even just dissuade his base, for example.

Pretty sure it's pretty close to true at this point that he actually could get away with literal cold-blooded murder in public at this point and his cult would fold themselves in half backwards tryin' to justify it somehow. [0]

I mean, he supports the Gaza situation.

Real Americans are pretty spit on the topic of Gaza. 36% of Americans favor the U.S. providing military aid to Israel. 34% oppose military aid, and the rest are neutral.

I didn't say Trump was the only one who supported cold-blooded murder.

Yes and no. He has a clear mandate to fix price increases and inflation. If he doesn't he will lose the newcomers that held their nose voting for him. If he screws up big time he will be frozen in 26 and ride out his presidency having accomplished nothing. His core base that you are talking about was always a declining minority.

That’s true. It’s even worse, though, since he promised a bunch of stuff that he can’t deliver or if he delivers (high tariffs, mass deportation), inflation will probably boom. Get the popcorn because the first month after 1/20 will be interesting (and maybe stock up on some electronics that are probably going to get really expensive).
