    …yeah…it could potentially be a bit worse than that.

    And it will definitely be worse the next election cycle. If Trump is defeated, his movement will still go on, and they will learn from his his literal trials and tribulations.

        his dumbass opened a can of worms that even he can’t control.

        That has been the precise effect of every Republican president since Dwight D. Eisenhower. Just like Dick Cheney before him, Donald Trump will ultimately lose control of the monster he created before fading into irrelevance.

        The entire thing is one insane, parasitic mind-virus that became uncontrollably pathenogenic with the assistance of internet nihilists who liked the power of manipulating the stupid, uneducated, religiously fanatical zombie horde that powerful conservatives have generationally cultivated for thousands of years.

          Yeah, it’s not going to last. Conservatives dump their heroes as soon as they are no longer useful. Nixon had the support of 50% of Republicans right before he resigned. No one talked to him for decades afterwards. He was literally an outcast from modern society.
