But I strongly suspect “Trump fatigue” is spreading all across the Electoral map.

Sure, his hardcore supporters would do a Jonestown number if 45 ordered it.

But there are far fewer of them than us, and thus their seemingly hard-wired need for myriad feats of cheating in multiple arenas to retain power. (Voter suppression, gerrymandering, moving the physical voting places to the outskirts of town, targeted media influences by the Russian mob...all the usual suspects.)

If there were free and fair elections, these dangerous buffoons would go down in flames.
