This is some shit. Aaron Rodgers is the MAGA movement through and through, he's ripping Trump now because Trump is a lame duck at this point and this is the opportune time to pick the next dumbass idiot to run the movement.

u/Shag1166 15h ago

The timing can be good for Democrats. Many people are into idol worship, and follow the suggestions of their heroes. Many different races can come down to anywhere, from 10 to 100 votes. If he can dissuade a few in for the Midterms, we'll take it!

u/DoctrTurkey 13h ago

The democrats are too compromised and stupid to do anything with the political gifts they’re given

2

u/Shag1166 13h ago

I can see you are either uninformed, or you're a bot the Democrats have numerous in-state races across the country this year. One was a state senate seat in Texas, that was pure Trump country. Have a great day!

Sounds like he quit, like MTG, Tucker, and some others. I accept the loud pronouncements. Doesn't take many votes to win some Congressional seats, and even Senate and Governors races in smaller states.

They don’t like it when someone does all the shit they say needs to be done and it turns out to all be terrible ideas that should never have been done.

He is still going in on Fauci. That’s some maga shit

u/corpsecrow 11h ago

I don't think this guy was ever full maga, I think him and rogan and a lot like them were just anti vaccine/anti covid. That's my theory anyways.

3

u/Actual-Implement-870 11h ago

He said people just assume he's MAGA because he's an anti-vax conspiracy theorist. He's not wrong. When people say and do dumb shit, it's usually safe to assume they're MAGA.

Except trump is pro his garbage operation warp speed vax. That leftist lap up like Jim Jones juice and maga boos him over.

u/1984rip 49m ago

That you and trump both love his quickly made vax. Me and Rodgers don't. You and trump like to agree on stuff I guess.

2

u/OhioVsEverything 7h ago

Wait, do you think saying anything against Trump means they will vote for someone with a D next to their name?

I wish I had that level of hope.

u/DonKeighbals 12h ago

It’s a cult and there’s only two way out of a cult. They either see the light and escape on their own. Or they drink the Flavor-Aid. If they’ve genuinely “seen the light”, we must embrace them back into reality, albeit cautiously.

u/Trazan_CC 8h ago

But it's a cult of personality and they really love sportsball. If even one dolt changes their mind because of this it's a win. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

u/FlopperinoCappuccino 11h ago

No he's not. He's anti government intervention like forcing the vaccine onto you. That just happened to align with MAGA. But if you listen to him he's been pretty outspoken against MAGA and Trump even if certain things align. He's not a Democrat either. But he's probably openly ripped on Democrats more because of the vaccine stuff

u/Fre3ReFills 9h ago

Why is he MAGA? If this were the 70's he'd be labeled a counter culture progessive.

Too late dumbass. Anyone with a brain knew this as soon as he chose his cabinet for his first term. And anyone who supported him after his coup attempt is either a fascist or a retard

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers believes President Donald Trump's MAGA movement is dead.

Rodgers, 42, has long had ties to the world of the President thanks to his promotion of alternative medicine and anti-vax stances which have brought him into same sphere as Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

However, the Steelers star now believes that Trump should be held accountable for his lack of follow-through on multiple pledges he made on the campaign trail.

11

u/Idiotwithaphone79 20h ago

The term "alternative medicine" implies it's still medicine. What he pushed was alternative "to" medicine. Big difference.

u/Pope_Leos_buttplug 13h ago

Did he ever support Trump, though? Rodgers seems more like that liberal/libertarian hybrid that can still be antivax and still dislike republicans. Hell, the modern antivax movement started within California liberal circles…

I guess they won’t have to examine Rodgers’s brain after he dies to see if he has CTE.

u/TragicallyDip 19h ago

The people that campaigned relentlessly to get this guy in office, watched him do exactly what he said he would do, and finally after two years say they are against this are the worst. They take no responsibility for their role in this and will not learn anything or change. The worst people.

u/Bitter-Holiday1311 6h ago

Rodger’s was very MAHA/MAGA because he’s an idiot who lacks critical thinking and simply loves the smell of his own farts too much. Even this half wit is realizing Trump and MAGA are nothing but a scam based around protecting a bunch of pedophiles.

1

u/Acceptable_Taste9818 6h ago

Whatever Roger’s is, he is bold. Perhaps that’s part of why he was such a formidable processor of the game. Roger’s would probably hate to be referred to as a “was” but that is the harsh reality of glory.

What exactly did Obama and Biden do that wasn't in the best interests of most people? Also, people look so much to the President but Congress is where laws are made and your local politicians and governors affect you more.

1

u/rycycling1971 15h ago

Presidents don't pass laws. And acting like there is no difference is what the right wants you to think. Both Obama and Biden put in good policies for the middle and lower classes. Obamacare is good and has been expanding until Trump. Union protections have been pushed by the left and quashed by the right. Lower taxes for the rich doesn't seem like it hurts the middle class and lower class, but it does in terms of cuts to programs and it hurts them long term.
