In the rude, crude and tattooed neighborhood where I grew up, making a stupid and embarrassing

[Atticus]

mistake or getting caught in an obvious lie was not referred to as "committing a faux pas" or even a "royal screw up"; it was known as "showing your ass".

The best way to get past the embarrassment of "showing your ass" was to admit your transgression and apologize. Hanging hour head and looking truly sorry was also helpful.

You would be forgiven because "everybody shows their ass now and then".

If Trump supporters had grown up in my neck of the woods, they would have months ago publicly owned their mistake in thinking that Trump was a decent human being who would surely "grow into" the office of POTUS. They would have voted to convict in at least one of his impeachments and would now be publicly ridiculing his "Big Lie".

They would understand that doubling and tripling down after "showing your ass" sooner or later results in getting your ass KICKED.

1. The Trumpanzees

showing they’re asses

They certainly lack the decency to show their asses

2. YOU had better friends than they do.....

Ain't NO WAY any of these 'A$$ES" are going to 'show their ass' - they're too 'proud' of 'their MAN!'

3. It's a cult

cult members are the last people to admit they are in a cult.

This one needs more then deprogramming to clean it's members.

4. "showing your ass" is good lifelong advice

I tell people I am training in IT is, if you make a mistake, just 'fess up immediately, don't try to hide it, they WILL find out.....and don't worry about the spotlight being on you, the next fuckup is right around the corner.......just make sure that's not you again.
