People in my personal life, who were previously dismissive of my concerns around Trump, have changed their tune

Can confirm. I live in a bellwether city, whoever we voted for has been the president for the last... 8 times? 10 times? idk, quite a few times.

The city previously had quite a number of Trump flags on houses. During his first term, the "Trump trains" would routinely roll through town, and you would hear them honking for a good 3 - 5 minutes as they all drove by. They came in from other cities mostly, but still, there would be like 50ish "I need to compensate for something" type trucks with Trump flags on the back.

Now, even the flags are rare. My neighbor who literally flew a Confederate flag for a while - in California, mind you, my joke being "Southern California will rise again" - took his Trump flag down after the first round of Epstein stuff and it hasn't gone back up yet. The "Trump trains" are gone. They tried them a few times during the start of his second term, maybe a few months in, but having a "train" of only like 5 people just feels more pathetic than impressive, so they quit that. Haven't seen one in months.

Also, the Trump administration simply appears to be way less competent than the (original) Nazis were. The second season is scarier than the first, but that's a large part of what saved us during the first season too.

However! Let's not forget that the Democrats waged an internationally-recognized genocide against the Palestinian people because they're also owned by Zionazis and corporate interests. The people don't "win" unless both corporate-owned, pedophile-and-or-genocidaire-run parties are completely removed from power. NOT reformed, removed.
