Its that they are still in that state where theyre desperate to believe him. His rallies now look like crazed cult gatherings of people in frenzied, desperate rage wanting to keep being believers. The entire gatherings stink of fear. Their man is screaming with fake bravado claiming victories they arent seeing in their lives except as pain as jobs and grand promises dont materialize. Their livelihoods are being sucked into the black hole of Trumps ego.
They dont want to face the truth and they think they can believe it away. Theyre embracing Q Anon and hate groups believing that some miracle will keep them in the majority if they just believe hard enough. Hatefully enough.
They see and hear exactly what they want. They know their time of racial supremacy is over. They live in terror of being treated the way theyve treated other races. Theyve thrown their lot behind their godlet Trump. Their time is nigh over and that is a good thing for our country.

BTW, I love the term "godlet". I might just start using it.

They can build their own Trump wall to hide behind.

Youre right! They would surely turn on each other in short order!
