Best Case Scenario, Heavy pressure from Congress for Trump to step down

Then what happens?

I mean I understand the succession plan and the who's and how's.

My question is about his rabid followers, what will they do?

They believe he is messianic and that everything that he or his mouthpieces tell them is true and accurate.

They believe anything negative that is reported or even just posted about twitler is bs, "fake news"

Based on the "conversations", and I use that term in very broadest context, I have seen on pee-republic they view every question and criticism of dear leader as treasonous.

They are, in many cases, armed to the teeth and spoiling for a fit against "dirty liberals"

I truly wonder what may happen if/when the shit hits the fan and some major scandal rightfully brings down the house of cards that is the pResident and the KGOP.

Maybe they'll admit they were duped.

We can only hope so.

and can't be believed so if his poll numbers fall into the low 20's or teens they will believe the "real numbers" are the opposite.

and believe there is a line that enough congress people of principal won't cross and at some point the evidence will be overwhelming and the behavior so egregious they feel obligated to act.

If they take up arms and get violent then they will end up either locked up or dead...and either way they will lose their guns.

key legislative actions are signed. That way they the Republican Party can put blame on Trump for any fallout.

They are convinced it's all a big conspiracy against him from both parties.
I don't know what they would do or how far they are willing to push it but based on the things I have read and heard they are all drumph and screw the party or the country if he is forced from office
