Trump voters do not understand this, but they will soon.

Wishful thinking, fantasies, conspiracy theories, blindly following the propaganda and lies of Fox news do not work in a court of law.

It is going to be amazing watching them run face first into the WALL of reality. They will be dazed and confused, wondering what the hell happened.

I think it is starting to sink in that they voted for a traitor.

Were Pence to become President tomorrow I don't think most would object and many would welcome it.

I know a lot of Republicans who left the party and are now decline to state over Trump and the racism in the party overall.

But his treasonous acts on behalf of Russia such as pulling the troops out of Syria when ISIS is not defeated, is alarming even to staunch conservatives (who may fear terrorists more than Democrats)

Their propaganda outlets will cheerfully supply talking points. I don't think there is much if anything that will deter at least the hard core deplorables. If anything they will begin to lash out violemtly as their precious goes down in a fire of his own making.

I really do believe that there is a way to rescue people from Trump's cult.

But I don't think it is as simple as reason, facts, reality or logic.

Reality is going to be a downer here as well.
