Good luck with that, GOPers

At which point you get to be considered a religeon.

I think 63 million votes is unfortunately large, even if it is significantly smaller than 66 million votes.

Just a worryingly large percentage of them.

For the members of this personality cult, as with all previous personality cults, the Great Leader can do no wrong. All information encountered by these personality cultists is automatically filtered through the lens of confirmation bias to be subservient to the overriding priority of propping up their personal belief in the person of the Great Leader. In this context neither the Great Leader's words nor their actions are relevant in any way whatsoever.

Trump literally could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and retain a huge mass of supporters. Indeed, he could do a thousand things far worse than this and still retain those supporters, because once a personality cult reaches the level where words and actions become irrelevant anything can be justified. It's a hole with no bottom, and it's the same mixture of fear, xenophobia, and self loathing that inspired Christianity to embrace the shockingly evil demigod described in the Old Testament as God Himself.

Such conclusions are insane, contradictory, and collapse under scrutiny, but neither sanity, sense, nor knowledge have any influence on the mind of a personality cultist.

tax crook and broke... not good

Bush2 got 62 million votes for his second term. Romney and McCain were each around 60 million.

That's a lot of consistent voters standing by a series of inconsistent personalities. Republicanism is a full fledged religion, and as we work to prevent it from destroying all of us we need to keep that in mind.

That's what's happening. Many of the followers seemingly didn't intend to be in it, but they are now. The leaders they can't say no to are are very bad people.
