No Trumper I know thinks he should be impeached or removed from office. They aren't going to change. For many of them there's too much cognitive dissonance to finally thinking Trump is a vulgarian and an idiot. There are people in my family who support Trump. Decent people who were raised right who know damn well somewhere inside themselves who he is. They voted for him either because he was the Republican nominee and/or because they would vote for anybody before they'd vote for A Girl. So now they are stuck, because if they look at him and see what he actually is they wouldn't be able to square what they voted for with who they are. I'm not saying this is everybody, but it's a lot of people who voted for Trump. They aren't all raving racists. Some of them did not, and now cannot, see him for what he is.
