I’m truly curious to see what, if anything, it will actually take… how BAD it will have to get…before Trump’s marks will not only realize, but also admit, that they’ve been had? Are they really impervious to any evidence or reality? Will they really always blame Trump’s damage on someone else? - ThreadSky

I am guessing it will have to get very, very bad. We have a perfectly lovely friend in the States who has gone off the deep end. She takes every utterance of Trump as if it were from the mouth of God. I have no idea what it will take to make her see reality.

They won’t admit they’ve been had. They’ll say he did something that they couldn’t have predicted even though he said he’d fucking do it. They’ll deny any responsibility til the day they die.

easier to blame one telegenic idiot than the folks from the last fifty years who teed it up for him (twice)

I've spent a lot of spare time trying to figure out why the hell people join and stick with cults. And, I truly believe that the "sunk cost fallacy" will keep the majority of the people who asked for this onboard to the bitter end.

That’s how fascism work. With years of exposition to Trump and the Republicans’ extremist
propaganda, many Americans seem to accept the unacceptable as normal. The threshold for what is normal has moved

Much like any other cult, they will go down denying they've been had. The ego REALLY doesn't like the dissonance of realizing you've been a mark!

Honestly, for a large percentage of them, I don't think anything could get them to wake up. He'll just keep blaming other people and they'll gobble that up.

Don't underestimate the power of propaganda. Putin is still viewed favourably by the majority of Russians.
