We're looking at Candace Owens, another major pundit who's been going all against Trump.

We're looking at Marjorie Taylor Greene, who in recent weeks and months has been moving against Trump.

But everyone's been going really hard on this in the last couple days and weeks.

Everyone's a critic now, and it's not just these high-profile conservative figures who have gone through their big abandoning phase.

Conspiracy theorists are also abandoning Trump, which has been traditionally his bread and butter for so long.

David Gilbert had an excellent piece late last week about how a number of big folks in the MAGA movement are actually all starting to say that the assassination attempt on Trump's life in Butler, Pennsylvania during the 2024 presidential election was actually staged.

Tim Dillon, a podcaster that has historically supported Trump, went in on this.

Could you try?

Zoe, this is this is your pivot.

I mean, but he wasn't alone.

That's what's so crazy.

Like influencer Candace Owens, who I mentioned earlier, she also spoke about this, too.

To be clear, all of this is being shared without evidence.

There haven't been any significant reports that show that any of this was in fact staged, but that really hasn't stopped this wave of MAGA folks in some ways repeating the exact same claims that a lot of like blue-pilled people did in 2024, which was like, this is staged, this was all like against Harris, this was against Biden, this was against all of this.

So it's been fascinating watching like truly like the hand-shaking emoji come together in that moment, but also to me, I think is a pretty indicative of,

The party is in a weird place going into the midterms.

Polls are lower than they've ever been for Trump.

The Republican Party is like already distancing from him on certain elections.

I don't know.

How serious are you guys taking this?
