The base who loves Miller, Noem, and Bovino are going to realize they are being rolled on and will be angry and demoralized. Those are Trump's strongest supporters. Expect MAGA civil war soon.

Miller is probably in a lot more danger than he thinks. Trump thinks Noem looks hot and good on tv so she has some wiggle room when it's time to throw somebody under the bus.

As has happened with so many Hollywood monsters, they are teaching the people around them a lesson, and it’s absolutely not the one they planned on
After Portland, LA, Chicago, and Charlotte, they wanted a smaller city to pick on to get the fear going because they don't have the numbers to pacify the whole country. They thought they would teach the twin cities a lesson, and frighten them, and everybody else.
They were wrong.

Have they changed their opinions? Or have their opinions always been "things that negatively affect other people are fine, things that could negatively affect me are bad"?
Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

John Kerry is worth 9 figures. Hillary Clinton is worth 8 figures. Yet they are taking bribes (I mean fees) to go speak with Tucker Carlson and Piers Morgan at a Saudi real estate conference at a time when authoritarianism is reigning supreme in this country.
And they wonder why the base is angry.
