GRAPEVINE, TEXAS — Joseph Bolick feels betrayed by President Donald Trump. And it’s because of the war in Iran.
The 30-year-old Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran voted for Trump in 2024. But at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference gathering this week he sported a hat emblazoned with “America First” — a slogan Trump championed during his campaign, along with the promise not to start new wars in foreign countries.
“He’s lied about everything,” said Bolick. “If you go into a war where there’s no end game, how is it going to end? There’s no clear objective.”
History says hat the straw that breaks the back of the cult of personality is the death or disempowerment of their figurehead.
I believe you are right that nothing that the leadership does will lose them support, but if there are endictments that least to prison or key deaths, it will come undone.
I believe that when that happens the spell will break, you will have a hard time finding anyone who will admit to have supported this regime or many of its actions.
