Have not yet seen Trump supporters move away from their dear leader

He is managing everything great according to them.

Don't think he can do anything to lose them.

They can't elect him alone, but still, hard to believe even this is not enough.

but he’s losing his soft 10% of voters, I can almost guarantee. I think polls in the coming weeks and months will prove this.

Right now the body count isn't high enough to impress those troglodytes; remember they didn't bat an eye when Trump kidnapped thousands of brown babies. Until someone close to them gets sick, they won't care if hundreds of their fellow citizens become I'll.

I don't think most Republicans have the capacity to feel sympathy or empathise with other people who are suffering. The something broken inside them and they just can't make that connection unless they are personally affected.

It wasn't a major, urgent concern for the general public until they began to know people who had friends or relatives die. Then, it became a major concern and people demanded that the government do something to stop the deaths.

They still have the glazed over glassy-eyed look and are still just smitten with him, like he can do no wrong. He knew when he said that about killing a puppy wouldn't even make them stop following him.

I wish I could afford to pay a lab to study them and the latest batches of cocaine out there. There is seriously something wrong with the ones near me. There is definitely something in the coke or maybe it is the water. I'm not sure. Something is wrong. It makes Invasion of the Body Snatchers look like a walk in the park.

He'll blame it on Obama/the Clintons/the deep state/libruls/the fake news/atheists/brown people/women... literally anyone and everyone, and his minions will obediently hate everyone on that list.

These nuts could literally crawl to the voting booth in November and cast their ballot for their leader as their last act before death.

Cults are very dangerous things.
