one thing that amazes me about the politics of this country

imagine the *one* thing that would get republicans to completely turn on donnie.

he really could do just about any manner of evil or incompetence or whatever and as we've seen, barely a blip in his approval among republicans.

seriously, it's to the point where if he were caught and recorded raping a child, republicans would insist the video was doctored.


but there is *one* thing he could do that would instantly get *all* republicans to turn on him:

if he were to declare himself a democrat.

*then* they would support impeachment and removal. in an instant his political career would be over.


amazing to think that *that* is the one thing he could do that would kill their support for him.

1. Deep State
2. Soros, Hillary etc...
3. conspiracy
4. Democratic s involved
5. bat sh#t crazy events
6. taking way guns

Example you know why he stated wearing a mask, because he has become a Democrats, this is the first step to changing sides after the elections and going to liberal left, he knows Democrats are going to take the senate and they will impeach him again if he wins, they have his taxes and have already confronted him and he has made a deal with them...

he'd lose some supporters with any of those, but nothing close to all of them.

gay? they'd support him and insist that this proves they're a diverse party and how dare anyone ever call them bigots. or they'd say they support him while he's confused and they're hopeful the conversion therapy works.

there is no god? they'd say he doesn't mean it literally, he's just angry at god for all the suffering in the world

he is god? please, they already believe this.

likes to cross dress? seriously, if he can, on the basis of a mental glitch, convince people to go around and yell in peoples' faces without a mask during a pandemic, then if he says he cross dresses, his fans will ask go to his website to buy red trump cross dressing outfits.

claimed gun owners are idiots? the tape is doctored, he didn't mean all gun owners, fake news.

7. Nah, if he said he said he was gay, they'd all hate him in a heartbeat.

Being a Democrat wouldn't be enough. They might get mad at him for declaring himself a Democrat, but they would only outright HATE him if he said he was gay.

18. Ok, maybe that, they'd retire him.

Though they wouldn't really turn on him. They'd just send him out to pasture. They'd say he was a hero but now he's gone senile and he's confused but they'd still glorify him, or what he had been previously.
