So what happens when the cults leader loses?

[Quixote1818]

We aren't talking about sane people here. We have seen how kooky these folks are who get Trump tattooed on their breasts and wear shirts and pants with Trump's face on them. A lot of these are folks who are racist and were beginning to feel good again about being racist. What the fuck are we to expect from these low IQ fanatic's once Trump goes down?

[samnsara]

1. i will be removing all my bumperstickers before I even drive my car anywhere..

[NurseJackie]

10. This is why I don't have any political bumper stickers, at all, ever.

People are crazy.

And other than as a way to silently nod-hello to fellow Democrats (or to aggravate Republicans, the same way that their stickers aggravate me) I do not think that the bumper stickers actually change election outcomes.

[Quixote1818]

13. Same here. nt

[friendly_iconoclast]

40. Likewise

[BKDem]

2. I suppose purple Kool-Aid is too much to hope for.

[Mariana]

3. He'll start his 2024 campaign, and they'll get right on board. nt.

[Thunderbeast]

9. The new anchor for the "EB" (EXCELLENCE in Broadcasting Network.

[Mariana]

18. I really don't see him doing that.

He's not going to be satisfied sitting alone in a room, talking into a microphone, with an audience he can't see or hear. His ego needs the cheering crowds.

I wasn't really serious about him running for 2024, but I do think the rallies will continue. As part of his scorched earth policy to fuck up everything he can so Biden has nothing to work with, he'll be exhorting his followers to engage in every kind of violence on his behalf, up to and including terrorism, murder, and assassination.

[brush]

22. He's going to have huge legal problems and bills from NY state charges...

plus he's got personal debt of nearly a billion coming due in the next two years and he doesn't have the money. His properties/businesses are losing money and I doubt Melanoma is going to stay around. She'll want her pre-nup.

trump's time is going to be occupied all right but it won't be with any new ventures.

[Andy823]

27. Exactly

And don't forget the IRS is still "investigating" his taxes. Could be a lot of money he will owe the government that he weaseled out of paying through dubious means.

[brush]

33. Yes, that too. And isn't he an unidicted co-conspirator in the Cohen case?

Unidicted because he's president. What happens when he isn't and there's a new AG?

[Mariana]

28. It's going to be interesting to watch, that's for sure.

Not much fun to experience, if he does decide to create as much chaos as possible.

[dixiegrrrrl]

29. Hard to make all those stump speeches from prison. n/t

[Mariana]

32. I don't think he's going to prison.

I wish he would, but I just don't see it happening. I hope I'm wrong.

[Hoyt]

4. They sulk, then accept they'll survive just like we did.

[Mariana]

31. They never accepted that Obama won

but with Joe, he's not black and they can't really pretend he's a Muslim Kenyan illegal immigrant and the Antichrist. They'll direct attacks like those at Kamala of course.

[Doreen]

36. Well, there is one issue they will attack him on.

He's a practicing Catholic.

[Mariana]

41. More than half of Catholic voters cast their ballots for Trump in 2016.

Those people might attack him for being a "fake" Catholic. If the Evangelicals go after him for being Catholic, they will come up with some code word, rather than attack his Catholicism outright. However, they know Trump would not have won without those Catholics' votes, and they need them to have any chance of putting Republicans back in power, so they'll probably leave that alone. I think they'll mostly stick with nonreligious attacks.

[LakeArenal]

5. They will scurry back u see the rocks.

Basically blowhard cowards.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Most of them will probably slink back to their parents' basements

if they are young Boogaloo types; most of the older ones will grumble about socialism and have a few beers. A few MAGAts will try to stir up trouble but most of them are whiny cowards. Unfortunately, though, it doesn't take very many disgruntled assholes with guns to cause chaos, and it's those that I worry about.

[DanieRains]

7. Prisons / Asylums

Or both.

[Claustrum]

8. I am still convinced that Trump will file to run for president again in December

He needs his hold on these cult followers to keep making money off them. And they will gladly keep following him.

[Ohiogal]

11. Can he run for office from prison? Lol

[Demsrule86]

15. I doubt he will be alive in four years...and the GOP are going to be so pissed at him in the end too

[RainCaster]

19. Moscow Mitch will be gone in two years

His health is rather fragile. Pity.

[Walleye]

12. They will scurry back into the woodwork like cockroaches do when the lights are turned on

[Binkie The Clown]

14. Looking back in other cults,

such as people waiting on hill tops for the second coming, when things don't turn out the faithful usually just slip away quietly and then deny that they were ever followers to begin with.

It would be like looking for Nazis in post-war Germany. All those millions of faithful members of the Nazi party just mysteriously vanished into oblivion, and nobody would own up to ever having been a supporter.

[Shermann]

16. He'll refuse to leave...it will be Waco at the White House nt

[Revanchist]

21. How? If he thinks the secret service will have hiss back

He'll be in for a rude surprise

[brush]

24. I wonder if he'll really do that? I'd personally love to see the...

Secret Service bump rush his big ass out of the White House. What a sight that would be.

Even if he does go peacefully though, I don't see him and Melanoma standing at the WH entrance to welcome Joe and Jill Biden into the new presidency. There's no graciousness in that fat, orange body.

[fierywoman]

17. If only Twitter would cut him off once he loses power.

[C_U_L8R]

20. Trump will continue to fleece them

and take them for everything they've got.
And they'll glorify him for it.

[drray23]

23. Trump will attempt to setup a new TV channel

and capitalize on his cult following. He has already started denigrating Fox News. Of course all that assumes he does not land in jail.

[dixiegrrrrl]

30. OAN is the new RW news source.

One America News...very RW....there has been a "reporter" from it at WH press scrums, feeding trump
rehearsed questions. Young, blonde, of course.

[Shermann]

35. Now it will be Orange Anus News nt

[lunatica]

25. They'll donate to his Go Fund Me account

so he can keep his jet.

[lettucebe]

26. I believe there will be some violence, some arrests, some deaths, but nothing massive

like they are hoping will happen. Not that many people are willing to go to prison for that orange menace. Some kooks, sure, but the real kooks are not as plentiful as they'd like you to believe.

[BlueJac]

34. They all go batshit crazier!

[SheltieLover]

37. Same as always: lie, whine & incite violence

Lock his ass up!

[IBEWVET]

38. Wisconsin needs to crank up the cheese making to go with all the whine.

[Midnight Writer]

39. I've got a neighbor with Trump signs in his yard. He carries his gun everywhere. Yet...

when I see him out he wears a mask, he keeps a distance from others, he is avoiding crowds.

He doesn't take risks.

I can't see him jeopardizing his nice, comfortable suburban existence to go on some sort of rampage.

I'm sure there will be violence, but it will be from the nothing left to lose types who are already crazy.

The vast majority will froth and foam, but will stand down.

[dustyscamp]

42. Trumpers will storm capital buildings anda protest

Some will get violent and may commit assaults or murders all across America
