Will it ever dawn on the Proud Boy, Magats, Oath Keepers, Fox News watchers, Christian/Taliban ....... Evangelicals, Coal Miners (most of whom do know that coal is DOA), Stupid Ass Racist Dip Shit Mouth Breathers, 3%ers, CPAC following,Republican Voting, and or anti science folk that TFG is a just a con man and has been lying to them from the get go? In a new interview, Trump admits he lost the 2020 election. https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216175232 I think at the end of the day most of "them" know the truth but TFG scratches their racist itches and damn does that feel good.

1. They're dumping him, and will wait for a new leader
which is actually pretty terrifying because Trump taught the next one what not to do

3. A weakening trump, in 2022, may provide a kind of antidote to the
trump succesor wannabe's?

15. Yes, they will abandon him and carry on without him
He created the monster, but he no longer controls it. It is now self-perpetuating and its leaders will come and go. Trump mistakenly believed they were devoted to him, but actually, it is the hatred and anger that he brought that is inspiring them. He will just become a figurehead, but he will be powerless as a person.

2. Their loyalty is more about them than him.
He is the vehicle for their hatefulness.
Will they ever understand that a couple hundred people are destroying these folks’ lives, and some of their family’s lives, in a decades long plan to avoid paying taxes? Probably not. |

4. You're describing a CULT and if we know anything about them it's that they prefer to
die rather than change their minds. If they finally do reject one leader they'll latch onto
another and go on their destructive way. These people are very dangerous even if we can't really understand them. |

7. There's the tRump cult but also the qanon cult, anti-vax cult, & others to vacuum up T-cult refugees
When they switch cults they get to keep almost all of their assumed "facts", such as "Jan 6 tourists", "The Big Steal", vaxes are depopulation gene manipulation, economy has been destroyed by Biden, and "there is no systemic racism, just oppression of god-fearing Christians". |

9. A lot of con victims refuse to admit that they were conned
... but a lot of trumpers seem to not care one wit that he's lied and cheated his way through life -- why not, if you can get away with it like he has?

10. No.
Cult behavior is pretty much immune to ‘reality checks’, as they create new narratives to encompass whatever inconvenience emerges to disrupt their current narrative.

12. Signaling
Sometimes I wonder if all the RW crap is just a type of "signaling". Broadcast your views in an attempt to draw in folks who agree with you while simultaneously driving away folks who don't. In the end you wind up keeping your group insulated from others who don't agree with you and maintain cohesion within your group.
A significant number of these folks wind up backing down or changing their mind when their prejudices are confronted. Interaction would need to take place for minds to change. Being repugnant limits those exchanges and preserves the group identity. |

Yep. Most of them do, maybe at a deep-down level. But there are too many true believers, and they keep teaching their kids to hate.

14. They are moving on from TFG, he was a useful tool.
If you stay up to date on their disturbing online stuff, TFG is pretty much in the rear view. He still has his people of course, but they are in the Venn diagram of the bigger picture.
The right wingers do not feel they need TFG anymore. They found that the messaging used in VA about schools, crime, borders, works for suburban voters, then they will use their more radical rhetoric for the rest. They feel they can cobble together enough support by winning back suburbans and keep their diehards without TFG. |

20. It was never about Trump for the GOP. It was about what and who
Trump hated. After Obama there would be a 'Trump style politician'. And there will always be one. Will they win is the question.

28. And does it bother them at all IF the biblical Jesus is true and he came back to Earth in the ....
.... south prior to the Civil War they would have made him a slave. Because IF the Jesus person from
the bible was/real and he came from the Land of David/Bethlehem he would look like the current day Somalia people. |
