I keep wondering if maybe eventually the Republican base will abandon Trump not so much because of practical issues like the logistical headaches of trying to do international politics as a convicted felon but because it’s really impossible to ignore the fact that he’s just a garbage human being
I suppose there may be some folks for whom his selfishness, mendacity, pettiness, and cruelty are features but I really don’t think those things are appealing to the majority of the base. They might like the idea that he’s “strong” or “uncompromising” but not that he’s a whiny loser prick
Every time I see people who support him interviewed, and I'm sure these interviews are cherry-picked, but every time, it's someone saying how he's a good Christian, doesn't lie, cares about them, etc. And it's just like... who are you talking about? They just project whatever they want onto him.
