I've had almost every pro Trump gen X person i know come to me in the last couple weeks suddenly struck with lots of complaints about Trump "not communicating" and "not running a strong campaign".

I've also seen several of these people start talking about Jorgensen. All of these people were ardent Trump supporters only a month ago. This smells of an orchestrated action to me.

What we can do to bring them back from being demoralized?

I'm Gen X. Complete nonsense.

Maybe where you're at, but it's a specific age range i see suddenly full of doubts here.

I'm just raising the warning, you can pretend it doesn't exist if you want to, but I want to see another Trump victory and right now I see signs of something not good going on.

They may watch more TV and get less of their news from the internet, possibly.

Stoke them and reassure them if you can, pede.

I'm trying to calm them down and make them feel welcome, but I thought it was worth raising here in case it's not an isolated thing.

Totally agree. The right always makes the mistake of assuming that other people have any idea what they've accomplished in the past.

what state? It's probably targeted advertising through their social media or other "feeds".

The non left part of Washington (we do exist). Could be, as far as I can tell some are people who are still on Facebook.

Sounds to me like the thing they have in common is not Gen X, it’s that they’re dumbasses.

These are some of the people that I know who've been behind Trump the longest. That's the part that concerns me.

It's just weird for us to not have a 3rd party candidate. Don't sweat it.

There is one though, these people are now (independently) trying to tell me how great Jorgensen is and that they're going to vote for her.

I do, they give vague answers and then trail off. Then they start talking about all the other people they know that are flipping.
