to hear support from most people. But some of the more fanatic Trumpsters will become louder and more insistent in their public support -- until they realize their view is losing ground and begin to fall silent

Some former supporters may admit they've changed into his opponents. But some former supporters will tell us they always opposed him. And a certain fraction of former supporters will lapse into apathy

Don't underestimate the range of human responses

It will range from those who believe the "deep state" got him, all the way to those who regretted voting for him the day after.

The fanatics may seek a new champion while those who lapse into apathy may be susceptible to another cult.

I just want a shrinkage of the existing cult with the resulting loss of power in local, state and national government.

yet it is rare I see anyone in public places with a MAGA hat on their head. I wonder if this is because they really know what an ignoramous he is and are afraid others will think they are also an ignoramous. Also, the ones I know of who have talked about supporting him in the past - they are no longer talking.

It might be possible that Trump supporters realize you don’t go around looking for trouble because if you do, it will find you. There is a lot of animosity and hatred in our nation today. These are interesting times.



In passing I personally never wear any clothing with a logo on it. I view that as a form of advertising and if I advertise for someone I want to be paid.

I wonder if things like the following will be removed, or will cultists double-down:



( Ebay image, so may disappear. It's a decal for a vehicle window: a stylized border map of the lower 48 states, with "Fuck Off We're Full" filling the borders. )

I saw a truck with one of those decals just a few days ago.
