Trump voters think we are the ones imagining things. They are going to have a bad mental breakdown.

When all the indictments hit they will not be able to mentally handle it. Every Trump voter I talk to repeats the same words. You bring up J6, They start talking about Hunter Biden or China. WTF? Many of them will commit crimes, attack whoever their delusions tell them to attack when all the traitors are indicted.

They all believe all the investigations are happening just because the Democrats want to keep Trump from running again. They have no idea how big, how severe all the investigations are.

Many Trump voters don't believe what they see with there own eyes. Trump voters watched the attack on the Capital. They heard Trump tell the crowd go to the Capital. They heard Trump attack Pence and then saw the crowd start chanting Hang Pence. They saw it and they don't believe it. I have never seen this much wide spread delusion in my lifetime.

When all the indictments come down I have a plan for all the Trump voters I know. I am going to shame them, mock them with a heavy dose of reality. I am not going to hold back. I hope many more Americans join me. The Trump voters must be put in their place.

Many of the Trump voters I know are educated middle class people. Good jobs, own their own homes. They seem completely normal until you mention Trump, investigations, etc. It is fucking bizarre.

hard to deal with after a Blue Wave Midterm Election. I foresee this country going thru what Ireland went through with "The Troubles". It is going to take a while for their fanaticism to fade and die out. This buttercup is already buckled up.

They have no idea what is coming.

It's like if the Bengals football fans believed they won the Super Bowl last year, after they watched them lose, everybody is telling them the Rams won and they refuse to believe it. What about Hunter Biden?

That is how bad of fucking mental shape the Trump voters are in.

They are delusional. Nothing you say to convince them to your point of view will work, because they are in delusional denial. Rubbing their noses in it to punish them will just keep them entrenched in their delusions.

Rather, I suggest being nice to them. Given that they think we libs are the spawn of Satan, communists, and pedos, being nice might actually open a crack of light in their minds. I would say something like, I understand your disappointment. Try to put your emotions aside for a moment and look at the situation with your reason and common sense. Read the indictments and look carefully at the evidence. Don't just blow them off as a bunch of lies. Trump and his people will get their day in court to defend themselves. Pay attention to both sides of each case. It may be that you, and many other people were lied to by Trump. If that be the case, use it as a learning lesson to never ever again put someone up on a pedestal. No human is perfect, we all make mistakes. What counts is how do we transform a mistake into wisdom going forward.

Perhaps my suggestion won't do much good either, but at least my intention to be of benefit to a deeply delusional person is pure and given with compassion.

However, I believe that some of these delusional people will just start killing, like the Walled Lake man. The RW zealots have been asking when it will be time to use their guns.... Roevember may tip them into that abyss.
I actually have a son who cannot have a conversation will me without bring up some lie he believes from his fox addiction, even if we are talking about archaeology or gardening or my new washing machine. The last phone call he started ranting about Hunter Biden and I got off the phone as quickly as I could. You cannot reason with these brainwashed people, no matter how intelligent and educated they may be or may have been. Devastatingly sad, but a reality for many families. I love my son but he's nuts and I hope he regains his sanity at some point. I will always speak to him with love.

Yes, I will also be shaming them for tacitly going along with all of it & saying NOTHING- but, then bringing up negativity about Biden.

They will have a mental break when Trump is charged, convicted and marched off to prison (I remain hopeful)...and they will be even more dangerous when that happens. With luck they'll put each other in their place and take each other out.

To the fake emergency pregnancy centers they set up next to Planned Patenthood, or how about late night infomercials?

Operators are on hand now to reintegrate you into civil society again for one low low fee.

The lemmings only react to the information they're spoon-fed. They'll know about the cascading indictments, but that won't necessarily change their views of their felonious leaders. They'll blame a Biden DOJ and say it was weaponized to kneecap Republicans since we all hate Trump so much.

IOW, I don't see a mass awakening in our future.
