Young MAGA discovers Trump's dirty secret —and the GOP is panicking

GOP influencer lieutenants are watching the young ground troops that catapulted them to political power evaporate, and they are horrified. However, there appears to be no going back, according to social media posts.

Social media’s MAGA-verse is largely comprised of two groups that helped put President Donald Trump back in the White House for his second term in 2024: professional-grade MAGA influencers (some paid by Kremlin sources), and the far larger legion of uninformed low-level grunts who overwhelm media with professional influencers’ talking points.

But as Trump betrays the younger MAGA masses’ to-do list — which included American First, ending “forever wars” and containing the nation’s exploding budget — the youth appear to be telling the lieutenants to go pound sand.

“Next GOPer needs to be sent a message,” said one low-level MAGA enthusiast on X. “Let the [D]ems tear Trump to pieces at this point. He's earned it.”

“A historic coalition squandered,” announced another X user. “… I’ve seen this in my own life with friends, and even with my younger brothers’ friends. Especially the normal, generally non-political types, who voted for Trump in 2024 out of excitement for his coalition. I can’t think of a single one who hasn’t expressed that he betrayed them on the Epstein files and Iran.”

“Three-time Trump voter here. Trump and his family should be tossed in prison,” said still another, claiming to be an “unvaccinated Catholic.”

There are millions of comparable Trump attacks across the MAGA-sphere, and the deputies that once drove the argument and the battle aren’t sure how to handle it.

Conservative political podcaster Bill Mitchell blasted the “turncoats,” calling their sudden betrayal “stupid marketing.”

“What are they going to do for the next three years? Promote Democrats or something? They've painted themselves into a corner,” Mitchell said on X. “Obviously once this Iran War is over, gas prices collapse and the economy surges Trump's popularity is going to soar! And where will these turncoats be then?”

Others resorted to threats.

“This should scare the hell out of everyone. The midterms are coming. Stop the bickering, stop the infighting, head down, eyes on the prize. If we f—— this up, we lose everything we’ve worked the last decade for,” railed one Republican stalwart, who included a list of seats lost to Democrats over the last ten months. “If we lose the midterms, we lose the country, perhaps forever.

“Republicans who stay home elect Democrats,” warned another. “Midterms [are] everything. Freedom vs. tyranny. Remember Biden’s DOJ. Step it up Republican Party.”

But other large influencers with huge followings are also jumping aboard the vicious Trump pile-on. This includes MAGA major influencer Tim Pool, who turned on Trump particularly hard after the Iran invasion.

“Democrats are tracking for a super majority in November as men are quitting in huge numbers,” said Pool on X. “We see men checking out in every political metric from polls, donations, and viewership.”

That “viewership” may include the audience of Tim’s own podcast, and likely the podcasts of other MAGA influencers who rallied a huge following in the years leading up to Trump’s 2024 re-election.
