Capitulation Crash-and-Burn Fold Flipflop - call it what you like but yesterday was telling

Trumpskins and the whole "dashboard believer" (RW MEDIA) crowd yesterday got what should have been a real eye opener of the level of lies and manipulation that they absorb on a daily basis.

Their media over the last two weeks since this separation at the border embarrassment came to light have gone from:
It's not real
The pictures are fake
to
ITS A LAW!
It's THEIR fault (Dems)
There's nothing HE can do
to
It's THEIR fault ("illegal parents" yes I've seen that phrase used)
You did it too
"Well if you actually read Flores v Reno..."
then
Yesterday *POOF* with the stroke of a pen it was all exposed as lie. A concrete sample of the manipulation and frankly the cult elements at play here. Playing the believers.

The tepid reaction that I saw last night (their machinery was basically caught flatfooted) was mostly, and typically, declaring victory AND claiming they are victims.
