- Reposted by knassreTrump is losing MAGA. It’s not just the bigotry, Americans are seeing his entire scam for what it is, and they’re tired of it. With every "truth" he posts, his allies find it harder and harder to defend him. The more the better. To defeat MAGA we need a bigger coalition of voters. Period.
