No matter how Trump goes down, and I believe he's going down, they will never accept it. If he resigns, if he's forced from office under the 25th amendment, if he's impeached, if he just has a heart attack and keels over on the 8th hole at Mar a Lago, they'll never believe it or accept it. It will be a liberal/Clinton/Obama conspiracy and we will have a severe internal fight, possibly even civil war, on our hands. His supporters have shown themselves to be able to believe anything, to be convinced of anything, and that anything is acceptable if it furthers their cause. I'm afraid I don't see this ending well. Comments?

(13,340 posts)so far, they are just denying this, calling "fake news."
Dunno what they'll do if this actually turns into something. I hope it does, but I've thought he was done so many times now...

(50,934 posts)You are right. If he goes they will think it is a conspiracy and there will be multiple acts of domestic terrorism.
However, if he stays, they will STILL find conspiracies, and they will fight those conspiracies with force ("let's get the national guard to knock on doors of immigrants!" and they will have the power of the presidency behind them.
Better for the country if he goes, even though there is danger there too.

Being a Trump believer is a sad, cruel waste if American potential.

(9,670 posts)They have the White House, the Senate and the House. They hold the trump card for the Supreme Court.
But still, they can't keep their eyes on the prize. They can't stop couching every move on their disdain for the liberals.
This happens every time.
They certainly are experts at pissing and moaning and groaning and complaining and accusing.
Governance? Way out of their league.

(36,745 posts)The constant, slow drip will wear most Trumpistas down and finally convince them he is criminal.
A RW twit at work even admitted this week there is smoke.
I'd say by May or June in the slow drip scenario, most will have had their fill of him.

(21,111 posts)In this country. His supporters are too brainwashed and uhinged to accept chump is a traitor who sold his country out to Russia. I see some of the crazies doing what the guy did recently in Kansas to the two Indian men. I don't see a happy ending for this country. And we will be in a constitutional crisis.
I hope I am wrong but there is a lot of hate, anger and evil swirling out the red states and they won't accept the eventual outcome.
