Trump's Deplorables are on the same level as Hitler's "good Germans"! No matter what comes out, they will still love their Fuhrer, even after he has his bunker moment!!!

stop considering what these deplorables think and believe. They believe the moon is made of green cheese. We can't govern to the least common denominator.

But the majority of Americans will. From my personal experience from people I know Trump followers fall into several categories.

1. Senile old people
2. Really stupid people that are complete screw ups in their personal lives and can't even hold down a job.
3.Bat shit crazy people that need psychological help.
4. wealthy people like my neighbor that is a doctor.

I'm not exaggerating I can't think of any normal person I know that still supports Trump that doesn't fit into one of these categories.

Republican small business owners who skirt tax laws. I have no business knowledge but I do know that there are abuses of California's S Corp tax law that lets small businesses owners to live the high life by under reporting their salary and using their business to write off many of their personal luxury items while they consistently report to the IRS that their business runs in the red to perpetuate their lifestyle. I have such an acquaintance who had to, for the first time in almost two decades, reported to the IRS and the State of California a minimally profitable year for their business recently. The bitching and whining about how they got screwed on their taxes that year and my control not to confront them about their hypocrisy still grates me.

Conservative talk radio tells them to. They never turned on Bush until Fox and conservative radio started turning on him.

and they are living in denial. They still think Li'l Donnie will rescue them from whatever they perceive to be their misfortune. No amount of reality will slap them out of their delusional zombie state.

I was just visiting my Fox-brainwashed, almost 90-year-old father and he doesn't think "anything will come of this Russia thing."

Oh, and he likes Pence. He "has such a kind face."

He voted for Hillary "the first time" (NY Senator), but not this time because of "all the money,"



Oh, and Obama was "never in the White House" and "never worked."

My dad used to be normal.

Because (other than a few who knew better) the object of cult members' adoration could not be tarnished in their eyes. Old men and young teens (boys and girls) died in the streets of Berlin in a last-ditch defense of the purity of their Fuhrer.

If Trump goes down, his loyal followers, utterly blind to the con that's been run on them, aren't going to go quietly. They'll frame it as Obama's doing, or the "Democrat (sic) Party's doing, or whatever. Nothing will get through to those 30%-plus-change individuals who are so reactionary they'd back Genghis Khan if he uttered the magic words "liberty," "tyranny" and "molon labe."
