Will 45's supporters ever admit they were wrong about this guy? I don't think so.

[PinkTiger]

To most people, admitting that you have been conned is not comfortable. Instead we make excuses. So I feel most people who voted for our current Resident won't even listen to news that is counter to their convictions.

1. Until or unless he is arrested, or resigns to avoid impeachment.

And even at that point some will blame the media.

As Lincoln said, you can fool some of the people all of the time.

[femmocrat]

2. They will blame the media and democrats for hounding him.

To them, it is a witch hunt and "fake news."

[Mr. Ected]

3. After years of BENGHAZI and emails and "Lock Her Up"

Seems the accusers 1) don't know the difference between real crimes and fake ones; and 2) don't know how to behave when it's their guy ensnared in the scales of justice.

Everyone Trumpie I know wants to blame this on the Democrats, when it's so painfully obvious that Trump and the Republicans are complicit in anti-American, felonious activities.

Their downfall, and the downfall of their adoring public, will be a feast for the eyes and spirit.

4. No. They'll eventually pretend they never voted

[Blanks]

5. The thing to keep in mind...

Is that in 1929 when Herbert Hoover took office, America was encouraged. Hoover was a successful businessman, had never served in public office (so, he was kind of an outsider) the stock market was booming, his motto was a chicken in every pot.

Then the stock market crashed, America sunk into the Great Depression and the republicans didn't get full control of the White House, the senate, and the house for a long time.

There will likely be a recession in the next two years, the democrats will take over the house and senate, and Trump will likely be gone by then.

His approval rating is under 40%, some people will never turn on him, but enough will turn on him that we will get control of the government back.

6. I remember Watergate

Supporters will gradually quiet down, but few will admit they were wrong. Maybe years from now, they'll admit they were conned, but for now, we can anticipate that at least they will eventually stop defending him and berating Democrats.

[OldHippieChick]

7. We old farts lived thru Nixon and were amazed when no one would

admit they voted for him. This will take time and I can only hope and pray that it takes less time than it did in the '70's. I listen to RW talk radio and these people will be slow to come around, but they will come around. Be patient. Don't push it down their throats or they will fight. Let it trickle and they will eventually see the error of their ways.

10. The same ones who voted for George w bush and didn't want to admit it

It's the same GD people who bite rethug as reflex.

[Jake Stern]

8. Agree

They are so heavily invested in Trump that if he fails, they fail. It would transcend embarrassment - the typical Trumpanzee's ego would be gravely, if not fatally, wounded if their Orangey Messiah were to be brought down.

Like cultists and fundamentalists who are confronted with proof that contradicts their beliefs, Trumpanzees will double down and defend him even harder.

[Initech]

9. No they are in a cult. They have been brainwashed.

They've been brainwashed into thinking he's a good leader by the likes of the right wing conspiracy-sphere like Breitbart, Infowars, Prison Planet, and Fox News. You know - the "liberal media" that they're used to blasting. And now they don't believe in facts because their leader has convinced them that facts aren't a thing anymore. It's scary.

[kimbutgar]

12. They're supposed to have a big rallies for chump this Saturday all over the US.

We can go see who the brainwashed idiots are in our communities.

[Initech]

13. If my hometown of Brea is any indication, they're gonna be yuuuuuuuuge!

[trof]

11. nope

[wishstar]

14. GWBush's supporters have collective amnesia too, and blame Obama for everything

[gratuitous]

15. Think about how they regard W.

Conservatives are just now coming around to the idea that the invasion of Iraq may not have been the genius military move they all thought it was 15 years ago. Not that those dirty fucking hippies were right all along, mind you. But if you listen to them when they get all nostalgic and historical, you might think that there was nobody in the White House between Bill Clinton and Barack Obama; it's like the Bush administration never existed.

I think the same thing will happen with President Trump. By 2022, you will be hard pressed to find anyone who voted for him. Or who will at least admit it.

[renate]

16. is anybody here watching FOX?

I can't, because 1) and 2) there would be complaints from other people in the room with me.

But I've been wondering whether FOX is reporting on this at all.
