(2,000 posts)They will likely need deprogramming.
And yet I see many republicons connected to cult 45 magats refuse to support him.
His cult is a smaller percentage of that party than it was. It's still a lot of crazy brainwashed people, to be sure, but I know a number of republicons who will not vote for tfg. Some are voting for Kennedy, some for Harris, some may write in a name or not vote.
He's displayed crazy criminal behavior and rants throughout his private and political life. So many times I've read a headline on DU about him loosing it, melting down, etc.. Each episode mentioned helped to erode a small part of his support out there, from those who had accepted his behavior while not enthusiastically supporting it. From immigration to workers to family and reproductive rights challenged he lost some support; from criminal activity to prosecution and conviction he lost some support; from reality TV star to political failure he lost some support; from his theft of documents to his attempts to stay in power, foment insurrection with an authoritarian agenda he lost some support, and so on. Small numbers have fallen away with each action or rant. The ones that still proudly support him are among the most deranged and delusional themselves.
I see this rant as a bit more deranged and unhinged than anything else he's posted, which is saying a lot...not that I read many of his posts, just what I read from here. This is a toddler temper tantrum rant, which will help to erode his support further. Not fair!?! Not prepared or able to wage his campaign against Kamala Harris and Tim Walz!?! Poor tfg! Next he'll churn up the hate.
As you point out, his cult will stand by him. Some on the fringes will not. More will slip away.
Some republicon donors will probably want tfg to step down and try to exert influence, but there are too many crazies in their party to manage any significant agreement. We still need to work hard and GOTV. They can't challenge a landslide victory. Ok, they can and will challenge any victory we have, where they've set up circumstances to be able to change or challenge the results.
GOTV for a blue wave, tsunami, landslide!
