By turning the Epstein conspiracy against Trump, the CEO of Tesla cracked the MAGA base, and now the movement that once worshipped the U.S. president is starting to rebel.
Sure, but their base being fractured is still a good thing. Who they vote for was never going to change, and so it’s never what we should hope for. Instead, enjoy the optimism of the fact that their infighting will make it easier for left-wing candidates to enact change without being attacked quite as hard—they won’t be paying attention to socialists so much (real or imaginary) when they’re too busy hating each other.
Besides, who knows? Cracking the loyalty even a little might be enough for a few to start doing some critical thinking here and there.
I still don’t think this “fracture” will change results. We certainly won’t get affordable healthcare, a safe environmental future, human rights, or power to the working class.

I wish. I guess I’ve lost any hope though.
