Trumps admission finally gives them the ability to change their minds in public without admitting they were wrong. “He lied to us” makes it his fault instead of theirs. They can even still go on about how loyal and faithful they were to him while he abused and exploited their good, virtuous, god-fearing natures. ---

Nope. They’ll never admit that Trump lied or could do any wrong. They’ll contort themselves into something like “his lawyers made him say that because of the gag order” or “he was talking about a single state, not the whole election.” Utterly reality-free, but easier than admitting to themselves or others that their hero god has flaws. ---

> [@Hypno-Toad](#): > > I thought EVEYTHING was left of MAGA. ⁢ I actually listened to the first half or so of the video. And I was actually interested in this other way of looking at things. To us, MAGA is still going strong. and Trump is still the same old guy. But to not this guy and his followers. No, Trump has sold out–to the Republicans. He defines MAGA as the antisemitic conspiracy theories he and his followers are in. They believe the Globalist Jews were in charge, until Trump came in and bucked the “uniparty” and got elected and work against both Republican and Democratic interests, only for them to conspire to make him lose in 2020. MAGA united to try and Stop the Steal, spending so much money. Trump was already betraying MAGA at the start of the 2024 campaign, as his new campaigners were not “true believers” and thus would not run on “Trump actually won the election.” They instead ran on general Republican ideas (which this guy hates). But there was still hope that Trump was still on their side, and that this was all tactical, or perhaps he was being conned. Trump admitting he didn’t win destroys that. They actually still seem to think it all happened. But that Trump himself no longer believes. Or, if he does, he’s given up. That he’s trying for a new base of just general Republicans. And thus there isn’t anything left of MAGA. (But, yes, I did get your joke.) ---

> [@Hypno-Toad](#): > > Trumps admission He hasn’t made any admission. Seriously, he is totally inarticulate in his speech, and using a certain word rather than a different word is not an indicator that he accepts facts. His position has always been that Biden won by cheating in a rigged and stolen election, while Trump was the real winner. A remark that Biden won by a whisker does not alter his basic claim. He still does not admit that Biden won fairly. ---

For those unaware, this was the little known 156th regeneration. This version was well known for being pro-fascist and pro-hitler. After January 6th I think he jumped in the TARDIS and went to a Munich rally in 1938 or something. The previous 155 versions had to team up to defeat him. “Day of the Doctor” style. (This is absolutely a hijack though, so let’s be aware and not let this get out of hand. Still funny.) ---

Wow. I didn’t read the article and based the sex of the individual, not on it being a medical doctor, but that it was an asshole that punched a cop and that seems very “he”-like. I need to stop assuming.
