    I wonder how bad it will get before a single Trump voter realizes what they’ve done.

      They won’t. They will literally blame everything else but him. He could storm into their house, kick their dog, shit on their head, and still post on Facebook how it wasn’t him.

      I’ve got a friend who’s a trumper (he didn’t vote tho and his county was blue) and I think he’s almost there. But nobody wants to be wrong.

      My friend told me his dad called him and started complaining about Trump. He used to be a Democrat, but had progressively gotten more right-wing in the past decade or so. So looks like, 1 week.
