MAGA vloggers no longer 'on board' with Trump
Source: Alternet.org · Bias: Left
Summary
Will Sommer and Sam Stein of The Bulwarks say that growing cracks in President Donald Trump’s support from the MAGA social media sphere “really matters,” as a good number of popular commentators “don’t seem to be on board with what’s going on.”Stein noted that support for a wartime president is traditionally highest in the early phases of conflict. That such backing apparently isn’t there right now means, “It’s only going to get messier from here.”To buttress his point, Stein played a bit of a video from MAGA vlogger Sneako. While acknowledging Sneako as a bit of a “problematic character,“ Stein said, “people listen to this guy.” Opinions like his particularly matter because such vloggers are “a huge component of Trump’s political support.” Sneako condemned Trump as “80 years old,” and someone “would rather sacrifice his own citizens.” He claimed the Iran conflict was meant as a distraction from the release of damaging Jeffrey Epstein material that would tarnish Trump’s reputation. He added, “that’s what type of man is in charge of our country right now.”Sommer said Sneako’s take is “how people in this universe view this stuff,” adding he would be very interested to “see where [Joe] Rogan picks up” on this developing trend. He also cited a “California Republican woman” whose online X post called MAGA defections “shedding the dead weight,” adding that it’s good that certain people are jumping ship on Trump. “We only need the loyalists,” she said.Sommer countered by saying, “When you’re saying that it’s good that you’re losing support, I don’t think things are working out for you.”
