39. Eventually, they will just "forget" they ever supported him.

Some other charismatic "winner" will come around for them to follow blindly and cheer for.
If you try to remind them of that box of Trump memorabilia that's probably going to be stuffed in the back of the closet, garaged, or attic, they just won't have any clue as to why they have it. Must have been something their nutty uncle or slacker kid left for them to store and they never got rid it.
And they'll get all defensive if you press them on it.
Seen it before with some former rabid Nixon supporters long post Watergate.
