The media keeps referring to Trump's "base" like it's some monolithic group out there, somewhere. WTF?

If he has a base, he's done nothing but screw them nine ways to Sunday. They're not all completely stupid, although admittedly some are quite stupid. But most of them are waking up and realizing what a huge mistake this is. It seems the only blindly loyal followers he still has are the bots who retweet his garbage without even processing it. Pretty soon he'll turn on them too.

Just sayin'
