"I believe indictments, convictions will force many, not all, trump voters to face the truth."

I would predict only a few will face the truth. Normal and sane people realized Trump was a con man way back but the supporters heard what they wanted to hear. They watch Fox all day who tells them what they want to hear. If Trump were to end up in jail, they will say it is the greatest injustice of all time.

The only consolation I have is there are only 30 million of them based on the link. That's not enough to win an election.
