2. It didn't take long after the Watergate hearings started

for people to deny they'd voted for Nixon. It's embarrassing to admit you've been conned.

The zealots though won't change their tune. They're loving this. I keep seeing them crowing about deportations and calling for the arrest of mayors of sanctuary cities for harboring.

One even said Trump has done more in four days than President Obama in four years

I always say they live in their own alternate reality.

6. Wait until some of those Executive Orders get thrown out by a judge.

From what I hear, some of them are drawn up improperly and will not hold up under legal scrutiny.

The DAPL one in particular looks like it may get knocked down in court.

Their brains are destroyed by drugs, property and brainwashing.

How they found an elitist out of touch insane billionaire as their savior shows how insane they also are. That woman is a drug addled loser

Mostly religious people fired up for the life rally today or the red necks excited for the wall.

8. Reminds me of 2006-2008

During those years, it was hard to find anyone who would admit they voted for Bush. I knew people who had bragged about "their guy" winning in '04 who were saying "I didn't vote for him" by '07.


I've started using "Trump voter" as a slur. For example, someone posted a right wing meme on Facebook that had "losing" spelled "loosing" and I responded "Your meme writer spells
like a Trump voter."

10. They will walk off a cliff before admitting they are wrong

Plus they are all so brainwashed they've lost the ability to think rationally anymore

Rationality is sorely lacking In rethug voters. I have not come across a rational rethug voter in years.

I keep getting messages from them saying things like "Are you tired of winning yet?"
