Deflect to hate. I could start naming off ALL the things they HATE, but there are only so many hours in a day.

First, a denial that they made a terrible choice.

Second, denial of everything revealed so far by Mueller and others.

They are going to live in denial of reality. It's really the only way their psyche can survive. If they have to admit to being so wrong about so much they can't do it because their mental wiring just won't allow it. It would be to destroy their "self."

And their self image as competent and informed voters would be destroyed.

It has been shown with Nixon voters that a substantial portion of them, years later when asked who they voted for, claim not to have voted for Nixon.

Trump will be the same. People who voted for Trump will either continue to justify it on pathetically tenuous grounds, or claim they didn't vote, or claim they voted for someone else. What will NOT happen is most of the Trump voters admitting they made a terrible mistake.

I would have written the same post had you not already done so.

These people live in their own fantasy world of deep state conspiracies and fear of liberal boogey men and brown people. The only thing that might bring them out of their trance is personal ruin in their own lives from the policies of the politicians they elected. Even in that case they will turn on Fox News for reassurance that the negative impact in their lives is all coming from the boogey men.

exposure to "others" with get them to question their racism. I've known plenty of people who were deeply homophobic until they actually got to know a gay person. Most of the deep red parts of the country are rural areas where the population is 85% white or higher. Non-Hispanic whites now make up only 60% of the US population at large and that number is going down. As we continue to have an exodus from rural areas to the cities, because that's where the jobs are, former "bubble living" small town whites will have to live and work beside people of other colors, religions, and sexual preferences.

Not admit it to themselves ... they will be in self denial.

A guy I work with was quite vocal about voting for Trump. About two or three weeks ago, I overheard a conversation about the election in the break room and caught him telling a newer employee that he was sent out of town unexpectedly that week and wasn't able to vote at all. Give it another year and he'll be trying to convince people he voted for Clinton.

These ignorant hateful cousin-fuckers OWN THIS this time.

They will die praising His name

There are persistent threads like this, claiming some sort of altered terrain. I'm convinced the authors don't know anyone who supports Donald Trump. If you do have that type among family, friends, co-workers, then you know how steadfast they are. Not a fleck of doubt or regret. Some of them tune out the news at time like this and remain mostly silent. But once the topic comes up they emphasize how much they believe in Trump and his causes like the wall.

I get a big supplemental dose of this because I post on sports sites every day and I also attend several professional golf tournaments in Florida, like last week in Orlando. Those two areas are flooded with white right wingers. And they are undaunted in not only supporting Trump but doing it loudly.

I was talking to Cristie Kerr's father in Orlando while walking the spectator ropes. We were talking 100% golf and all of a sudden he brings up politics and Donald Trump. He mocked Democrats for going low while Trump goes high. That's actually what they believe. Mr. Kerr assumed he had a friendly ear since I was a white guy in my 50s attending a golf tournament.

Those I know will/would vote for him again.

They do not. The only time they ever really care about anything is when it affects them personally. They could care less if Trump killed a hundred million people. If it didn't effect them personally, they would justify it by saying he did it to protect America.

When Nixon resigned he still had an approval rating of somewhere around 25% even though by then the "smoking gun" tape had come out, which proved that he tried to cover up the Watergate burglary. They knew he was a crook but they liked him anyway. Strangely, though, in the ensuing years it was really, really hard to find anyone who'd 'fess up to having voted for him in '72 even though he won by a landslide. In other words, eventually they came around to acknowledging he was a crook because the whole world knew it, but avoided admitting they'd been fooled by claiming they hadn't been fooled.

I think we'll see the same phenomenon this time. To be fair to the Nixon voters, though, Nixon's duplicity and general badness wasn't as well-advertised as Trump's because Nixon didn't promote his character flaws as features rather than bugs.

Just had a conversation with one of those Trumpoid's yesterday. He too was a Nixonite to the end and blamed the Dems for Nixon's demise.

It's going to be much worse for Trump voters than Nixon voters. This is much larger, this will be the biggest scandal in American history. A lot of people are going to go to prison. All of it was done out in the open and the Trump voters ignored it.

What Nixon did was hidden until the tapes came out.

It’s going to run like clockwork. Nobody will have voted for him (this will be after years of “deep state” then “Stalin tactics SC” then “but oh Hillary”).

Maybe ppl will be more skeptical & we will be less easily swayed by con men. But how do we do that? A really competent con would hide his or her bloody tracks a whole lot better.

I want laws if not amendments that require full disclosure of financial & medical condition for high federal offices, elected or confirmed. This is not going to eliminate evil but it will filter out the clowns and reduce the space the sociopaths can play in.

They do not have the intelligence required to recognize themselves in a mirror. They simply don't care. Having a narcissistic racist as a role model is all they want in life.

I'd really like to get some of them in one of these experiments with a red dot pasted on their forehead and in front of a mirror.

Could be some good youtube videos coming out of that experiment!

(Don't give them dangerous weapons during their alter-ego viewings.)

he'll have you believe? He thinks your stupid and you sure are acting like it. I think he sucked it all up for this stupid wall. First time voter coming out to vote for the stupid wall - and this guy is not dumb!!! But with this he sure a shit is. I'll have to check in on him this week now that the wall is dissolved. I'll bet he's still holding on ...but barely.

He did tell me he is 'afraid' of Biden running.

likes Trump. I cannot for the world understand what went wrong with him other than he lives in Alaska. His mother and father are liberal.

I've also been told that good parents are careful to control who their children associate with. This works both ways, of course.

In Alaska I'm sure the pickings of liberal neighbors and friends and schoolmates might be a little slim.

And they have become more shrill and defiant in their support of him.

Even is there is irrefutable evidence of him colluding with Russia and being a Putin asset they will say it is a lie by the fake news.

That's the scarey part.

of their ignorance. We see it all the time.

and switch over to "the gullibles".

(First, be sure to tell them that the word 'gullible' doesn't even appear in the dictionary and watch them start searching.)

But we will never get them to admit that Clinton was better. Don't even try.

...will admit they voted for tRump.
It will be the Grassy Knoll of elections.

Many of them still think trump is playing 3D chess, or that he's playing the "long game". Kinda funny.

... he's OUR dumb fucking idiot.

(if i'm imagining that I were a rethug)

Half the country is dumb as a rock.

But they don't know that. Because they are dumb as a rock.

Fox news and Hate Radio MUST to be brought to heel. There HAS to be a way that the Court will allow.
It's our job to find it.

But half the population will always be dumber than the other half.

They completely avoid the subject now. I wouldn't have supported the fucker if he was on a democratic ticket.
When it comes to extreme politics and matters of death and bereavement you really find out who your friends are.

trump voters are too stupid to understand how stupid they are.

They will find some way to defend him. The Idiot has largely failed, but 37% of voters still approve of him. The fortunate thing is the 54-58% consistently disapprove of him.

Sucks even more to have the whole bloody country a victim of their stupidity.
