The Five Stages of Trumpism [View all]

DENIAL: "Trump is the Greatest pResident of my lifetime. He couldn't possibly be the lying traitor the Democrats and the complicit media are making him out to be."

ANGER: "There will be rioting in the streets."

BARGAINING: "But what if those documents are proven to be unclassified? But what if it turns out that he didn't falsify his tax returns and his financial statements? But what if it turns out that this was all a political witch-hunt after all?

DEPRESSION: "It's not looking good for our beloved "pResident". He's looking weak and defeated. His rally crowds are getting smaller, and his crack legal team is being smacked down in every courtroom while the investigations into his criminality keep piling up."

ACCEPTANCE: "I never liked Trump, I never trusted him, and I never voted for him. So what other dumb-as-fuck, racist, ignorant asshole, RWNJ can I get behind in 2024? Please advise."
