If trump*'s cult ever actually saw video of him call them disgusting, would THAT make a difference?

As much as I dream of them having a 'Lonesome Rhodes' meltdown moment, I fear they are too far gone.

As reference for anyone who hasn't heard about this:

Olivia Troye, Vice President Mike Pence's former top coronavirus task force adviser, slammed President Donald Trump's pandemic response in an interview and in a video published Thursday.

Troye said Trump actively undermined the task force's efforts to protect Americans and that he cared primarily about the economy and his reelection, rather than the pandemic response.

Troye described one COVID-19 task force meeting in which she said the president remarked that the pandemic might be a "good thing" because it prevented him from having to shake hands with "disgusting people."

It is an actual "Jim Jones" type cult.

They will die for him and they will surely kill us for him.

Look at any Trumpist forum, or discussion! They hate each other ALMOST as much as they think they hate "libruls".

Indirect killing like the virus can be rationalized away. Suspending the Constitution to cancel the election would be no problem. "We had to suffer 8 years of Obama" covers a lot of ground in terms of allowing outrageous behavior.

Hillary was right 4 years ago... "deplorables." Same folks Trump don't wanna shake hands with... I wouldn't either. But mirror, mirror... he's the most disgusting one of all

Makes them feel special and closer to their hero.

Trump, a NY yankee, calls Sessions a 'dumb southerner' and they love him down there.

After all, Trump 'tells it like it is'.
