It starts with a man bun and ends in the bin. A bearded guy with a clean undercut, a "Vegeta" T-shirt, and a TikTok account steps in front of the camera, looks serious - and basically says: Enough. Then come the images, like from a Republican catalog of horrors: a "Keep America Great" cap, "Trump 2024" posters, patriotically stylized flags with printed Donald and sunglasses, red-white-blue textiles, as if someone had printed the national trauma on polyester. And in the middle, a white T-shirt with Trump’s face and the slogan "America First." All of it ends up in the trash. Piece by piece. No hysteria. Message: Game over.
"Another one bites the dust," you might hum as the last Trump shirt disappears into the bin. But this scene isn’t a triumph - it’s a quiet capitulation. The man handing his fan altar over to the garbage isn’t someone turning politically to the left. He’s a sign. A sad, but somehow also disoriented witness of a time when the wrong horse was backed - and now, at least, the stable is being cleaned out. "Tattaboy," the sheriff in old Westerns might’ve said when his deputy finally realized the outlaw couldn’t be saved. Here, the sheriff is the conscience, and the outlaw wears no MAGA hat and Trump star. The scene taking place on some American suburban driveway is more than a personal farewell - it’s part of a trend. More and more former Trump supporters are posting exactly these kinds of videos: merchandise into the trash, Make America Great Again - but not with me anymore. It’s the digital confessional of a generation that realizes too late it was lied to.
Of course, this moment won’t change the tariffs, won’t touch ICE policy, won’t fix the wreckage in Texas or the assaults on the Constitution. But it is a sign. Not to Trump. But to the other tattaboys out there - those still hesitating, still hoping, still clinging. Maybe all they need is a role model with a topknot and a Dragon Ball shirt who shows them how easy it can be to throw away the red cap. And as the hero of this small scene closes the trash lid at the end, you get the feeling, just for a moment, that it’s not only shirts disappearing. But an illusion. Quietly. And for good.

Es müssen stetig mehr werden.
Online, in den Nachbarschaften.
In den Wahlhelferlokalen der Republikaner.
Im Spendenbeutel.
Ja, sie haben reichen Spender.
Aber wenn die Spenden der Normalos, der MAGA Basis, ausbleiben, zeigt es das bröckelnde Fundament.
Man muss bicht gleich die Demokraten unterstützen, einfach die Republikaner nicht mehr unterstützen ist ein Anfang
Was für ein Affe, omg
