When 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.

2. Research shows when faced with truth, some cult members peel away, others triple down.

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.

Will never admit they bet on the wrong horse.

Like TFG, they don’t like being seen with losers.

Anyone that would admit to voting Nixon, Trump will be the same. In 6 months, you won't find anyone who will admit they ever supported Trump.

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.

People tend to react irrationality when they have decided to vote for someone.

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.

the fact that they've been backing a criminal.

It's our "fault" for finally dishing out some consequences.

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.

They couldn't even talk about Hitler, display his photo, nothing.

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

They have been front and center since that asshole came down that escalator.

Fuck them for voting for 45 not once, but twice.

Fuck them.
