Sinking Too Deep To Be Saved

ON OCTOBER 8, 2016, when the access Hollywood tape with Trump was released and went viral, and millions of Americans heard it, I was absolutely convinced that Donald J. Trump was finished at the Republican candidate for president. I figured he'd have to step aside, and be replaced. what else could they do, what with their candidate caught on tape bragging about being a sexual predator? Obviously I was wrong. The rest, as they say, is history. Compared to what Trump has said and done since his election, the infamous Access Hollywood tape somehow seems tame. Now, that trend line, in which Trump's political support keeps getting stronger as his behavior gets worse, may be raching a crucial breaking point. Because, well, as of now Trump is the front runner for the Repbulican presidential nomination for 2024, while simultaneously his legal problems continue to proliferate, and most likely will only get worse. Much worse. And, try hard that his supporters do, it wll become increasingly difficult, nearly impossible, to continue to brush off Trump's criminal behavior. OK, sure. the indictment in New York is only a witch hunt, and this lady and her lawsuit against Trump for rape and defamation is bogus, a set up. Believe that if you want. But Trump's trying to bribe the Attorney General in Georgia for more votes in on an audio recording, and this whole insurrection business, for which Trump is apparently going to be, ultimately indicted, on audi and video both, with massive amounts of sworn testimony. the question is: exactly how delusional and in denial are Trump's supporters willing to be, how low are they willing to go to ignore their cult leader's massive, horrible, criminality? At what point do the millions of rats, so to speak, jump off the sinking ship, as it were? We now know that the stolen election scheme was launched by Trump well before the actual election, and that the widespread acceptance of Trump's criminal plan was greatly facilitated by FOX news, which knew full well the nefarous nature of Trump's election lie, but supported it nonetheless, for ratings and profit.
