I think we're rapidly reaching the non reality based fantasy stage for the Trump supporters. True, they bought into the fantasy, but it was the fantasy about the rich, successful businessman, with the common touch, turning the country around and making their lives better, without buying into the racist xenophobia that the SUPPORTERS did. Trump could hold onto them for a while, by pointing to marginal successes, and blaming Democrats and outsiders like the Chinese for his failures, which could at least loosely be tied to traditional reality, at least for supporters willing to cut him some slack.
But, as the noose tightens, and as indictments and guilty pleas start to stack up, and when conclusive evidence like the SAR that Michael Avenatti laid out on Michael Cohen, Trump's excuses and justifications become more unhinged every day. I'm sure that if we just wait long enough, Trump will hysterically tweet out that an alien from the planet Zyxtel told him that Robert Mueller is the anti Christ, and must be summarily executed.
At what point do the Trump supporters finally throw in the towel and quit? As much Trump fatigue as we have, I'm pretty sure that these wishy-washy supporters are feeling fatigue settle in too. After all, they truly want to believe him, and in him, they don't want to have to admit, even to themselves, that they got conned. Those voters are who all of those excuses and protestations of innocence were specifically aimed at. But, as the deliverables disappear, and the excuses become more constant and unhinged, at what point do they finally start to throw up their hands and say, "Alright, alright already! So I fucked up! Can I please go home now?"
GOP strategists are already saying on multiple talk shows that in talking to Midwest farmers, they are directly blaming Trump for the impending collapse in soy, wheat and beef contracts through his trade war with China. And for these people, business trumps politics. The fatigue is setting in for transient Trump voters, if it hasn't already. So, just hang in there a little while longer. Because, while our Trump fatigue hopefully only serves to strengthen us to action, their Trump fatigue may cause them to either go back to voting Democratic, or stay home altogether. Either one works for me.
