    At what point do the Trumpers finally acknowledge that Trump doesn’t give a shit about them, isn’t doing anything to help them, and has installed a billionaire oligarchy tearing apart the institutions of government that help and protect them?

      Only when it personally affects them and there’s no plausible deniability regarding the cause.

      These are people who failed the marshmallow test as kids. You have to keep your expectations low.

        I have a friend who was a student during the revolution in Iran. They had high hopes for the country post-Shah but very quickly realized that it had gone wrong and left to move to Canada. The military is the final line of defense. That are sworn to protect the constitution. The only thing that can save the US now is if the military does its duty.
