(23,138 posts)I know 3 Repugs who voted for him who have totally turned against him and will not vote for him in 2020, 2 of them will now not vote for any R at the national level until drumpf is out of office. One is a pharmacist who turned against drumpf because of his ignorant handling of this and the total lies. He is so pissed that he has lupus patients that depend on Chlorquine to live and he can't get it now because all the rw assholes are buying it up and some of them have already died from it. People of science will not vote for him again, even f they did the first time, unless they have accepted funding from the rw.

(12,425 posts)As long as they have no direct contact with suffering from tRumps failures..they will continue to worship him...he is their team you know...
tRumpsters have always suffered in a passive sense...they truly are sold he's on their side which has never existed... denial is strong....
So, if many tRumpsters are able to connect the dots in the next month...then we can heal... otherwise ...you know the pain ahead.

(269,134 posts)I heard from two siblings overnight - they both said their Trumpie neighbors are still in shock that he said that if the death numbers are between 100,000 and 200,000 then it means he did a good job. That was a truly "He said what" moment for many.
And yes we all want this to be true

(14,567 posts)the fall back position will be what it was with W - we all have to come together, not is not the time to criticize! Then of course as time passes, IT IS IN THE PAST, WE NEED TO MOVE ON! It will just tear this country apart to hold him accountable!
That is what they did with W, it is what they did with Reagen ...
They do the same thing time after time after time - slander the ever loving fuck out of the D POTUS 24-7, rationalize and bully to try to stave off criticism while the R potus burns shit down before this fall back approach.

(14,537 posts)I stay in because they go out. On my local FB news feed there is a guy that is adamant that the WHO has the cure for this but won't give it to trump because they hate him. These people are so far down delusional highway they can't be reasoned with.

(22,040 posts)Trump's followers are incapable of the self-reflection necessary to change their views. The brainwashing and Kool-Aid have completely eaten their brains. Like lemmings, they will follow Trump over the cliff.
If I'm wrong, whether it's two weeks or two months, I promise I will acknowledge it. But I don't think I'll have to.
His followers, like Trump himself, are idiots.

Cabin fever is real and the truth is few folks want husband, wife and children around 24/7.
One of my own relatives is delighted I am on line with one of her grand kids. I am helping him with his schoolwork for an hour a day. His mom says she can't help him with all his schoolwork and do her own job from home. She was crawling up the wall with anxiety so I volunteered to do his English lessons with him.

(25,473 posts)Everyone but Trump.
Certainly, a few will see the light, but we have to remember where these people get their "news" - Trump, Fox News, and other right-wing media, including social media. It's filtered through the "Trump is doing great" lens.

(17,009 posts)Most of them follow him because they dont like those smarty pants college educated science spouting liberals. Climate change, pollution, corporate corruption, arent things they feel personally impacted by. I think farmers are getting a clue about climate change. When their grannys body ends up in a refrigerated semi because the morgue has run out of room they will never, ever vote repub again. When the rich have access to testing and medical care and their communities are ravaged because they dont they will never, ever vote repub again.

(17,009 posts)wont make him give up the repub party. The repub party causing him personal pain, say taking away his Obama care is a different story. We may be pleasure seeking creatures but the pain avoidance circuitry is hard-wired. Thats just as true for emotional pain as it is for physical.

(46,151 posts)I was in Germany in 1979. There were sporadic groups of natives who still believed Germany was better when Hitler was in charge. I attended a Jaegers' "picnic" in the middle of the woods where "Hitler Fight Songs" were lustily sung. Young and old. 13 million dead means nothing to them. Hitler had the economy humming and the World respected Germany at last. You can't argue with these kind of people.

(115,800 posts)The prosperity-gospel fundies and the testosterone-poisoned coal-rolling dirtbags with Confederate flags and trucknutz on their pickups won't change their minds because the twisted theology of the former and the sheer meanness of the latter won't let them. But if they voted for His Lardship just because they hated Hillary or because they were tax-cut-wanting libertarians or because they were Republicans who always voted Republican, they could come around. We shall see.

(11,885 posts)Is a lie, while he refuses to help people in need, and is lying about everything. Just a few weeks ago he was peddling this as a hoax, and was driven needlessly by Democrats was false. I think trump is the hoax, and Putin is his master telling him what things to do to hurt this country, not help us, because trumps so compromised from his debts, and corruption. Some GOP in Congress are now too.

In fact his approval will probably go up in the next two weeks.
Our only hope is the fickle swing voters will remember his incompetence and stupidity come November.
