If anyone wondered what it would take his base to desert him. I believe we have the answer.

Nothing! The racism, the hate, overshadows anything he can do to make them jump off the crazy train.

They are extremely sick people, any logical person would look at the daily bullshit, the lies, the name calling, the finger pointing, and come to the conclusion that tRump in one of two things. (or possibly both)

He is either a monster who is completely incompetent or using the pandemic to tear apart the Country.

Can't think of any other plausible explanation, yet his base doesn't waiver.

1. If Red Don shows any compassion towards their enemy aka non-whites or libs

[ProudMNDemocrat]

2. Lest this pandemic taketh them.....

They will soon find out that their Messiah hath forsaken them.

[StarryNite]

3. He's a cult leader.

[NRaleighLiberal]

4. they've been waiting for someone like him for a long time

[rufus dog]

5. This needs to be driven home

I made a recovering Republican think a bit last year. tRump pushed him over the edge. But he commented that it was something new in the Republican party.

I commented that they rolled out Palin in 2012. Newt was a complete asshole in the 90's. This is nothing new, just an ugly fat face at the forefront. Could tell it was a gut punch.

6. When their friends and family start dying

Even that won't be enough.

But when Magats begin fearing for their very own lives,
maybe, just maybe, they'll realize they've been suckered.

8. Not so sure

One of the things that sunk GW was when people figured out he lied us into Iraq and so badly mishandled the economy that it collapsed. You only need a few percentage of the supporters to bail (even just not voting) to lose.

16. but GWB was elected for his second term (unlike the first one). Sunk for what? TV appearances?

[zipplewrath]

17. Succesors

The party ran away from him and his entire agenda. He wasn't even invited to the convention that year.

[durablend]

11. Not a chance

They'll be blaming Hillary and "Her damn emails" even as they're dying.

[Wounded Bear]

7. It is far easier to fool someone than to convince them they've been fooled...

that explains the Trump loyalty as well as anything.

[moose65]

9. You speak the truth!

There are two sayings that perfectly describe Trump’s disciples: what you said, and the fact that there are none so blind as those who will not see.

[Wounded Bear]

10. I think it came from Sam Clemens, actually...

but thanks. Yes, the willfully ignorant can be the worst, especially when they attach some weird religious significance to their ignorance.

[FiveGoodMen]

12. Which is why we either fight a war against them or knuckle under.

The idea that we could EVER reason with them is nuts.

Their preachers have immunized them against reason.

[Brother Mythos]

13. Under Individual-1, the GOP has gone from mere Tribal Behavior to outright Cult Status.

They are now The Republicult™, and they revel in the worship of their new messiah.

[heckles65]

14. One thing would...

talking honestly about race in America. Fortunately for them (and unfortunately for us) he has not the aptitude, much less the inclination.

[WyattKansas]

15. They are only now beginning to see what the Democratic Party seen when tRUMP was saying hoax.

In that short amount of time, look how rapidly the crisis advanced. And it will be here for a long time.
tRUMP is already down in the count regarding his lack of response and flailing like a beached bullhead. You know, the nasty little bastards with the sharp thorns.

tRUMP lacks the intelligence to even comprehend how fucked he is and is pathetic at coming up with any meaningful resolution that doesn't involve a big bailout going into his or his family's pockets. His moment of came several weeks ago and left him circle jerking on one of his golf courses.

tRUMP is not going to be able to stop anything from finding his base and even the wealthy ones who cheer him on... tRUMP's moment to save them was already squandered when he planted 'hoax' seeds in their heads, and he is only left to watch them thin out.
