To expand on that, I think these are people looking to set themselves up for continued grifting in the post-Trump fascist movement. Being just critical enough “of the Trump campaign” now will allow them to say they jumped ship in August 2024 without actually committing to abandoning Trump until after the election. They want to be in a position to claim they were ahead of the curve due to their astute political acumen. But don’t want the short term fall out from actually doing it, nor the potential risk of being proven wrong in November.
It’s a transparent move, but it’ll be effective on the post-Trump MAGA base, as these are generally not bright people.
Excellent hand eye coordination, you hit the nail right on the head. That’s exactly what they’re trying to do: come out as a “winner” no matter what actually happens.
To what end?
So they can say they abandoned the ship before he lost.
That way they seem like less of a loser themselves.

I’m not trying to be mean, but who cares?
If they wanna break the cult up I’m not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth.
