Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWhen Trump goes down, most of his voters will react with dismay.
They will retreat into the nostalgia of their lost cause, of their imagined loss of their America.
Some of them will react with violence and will be arrested, imprisoned.
Trump voters are heading for a life of dismay.

(47,553 posts)The key is to keep hitting the public with truth bombs.
It will cause more cult members to drop out.
And will cause Trump to decompensate.
But yes there will be some violence.

(1,789 posts)Nixon supporters turned on him after the disclosure of facts. Trump supporters like Trump himself are impervious to facts that don't fit the narrative.

They tend to ignore evidence and rationality. They become "Vote red no matter how bad".
Never under estimate how irrational Republicans can be to party loyaty.

(1,132 posts)As we were headed for the parking lot (tired, hot and with sore feet) Saw a "Trump Store" set up along the street. Normally I make intentionally audible snarky comments when passing this type of thing, but there wasn't a soul in the immediate area. Business seemed to be non existent. Of course, I did get to enjoy strolling past the Kansas Republican infestation and laughing at their candidate displays.

I think there's something to be said for complete separation from past cult psychosis.
