...find some way to justify it and say its a good thing. I can see it now. Comments like "we won, you lost" and "go cry in your safe space liberal scum." More articulate ones would be saying things like "sometimes hard decisions like this are necessary to save the country #DrainTheSwamp #MakeAmericaGreatAgain."

Of course this would never happen, but its hyperbole intended to point that many Trump supporters are more loyal to Trump and the Republican Party than they are to the United States and its Constitution. How much longer will they be able to keep up deflecting his mistakes and justifying the odd, disturbing decisions? What will it take for people to realize this President might not be who they think he is?

One more thing, this is NOT about the GOP platform or specific issues. Issues like immigration, tax cuts, healthcare, the environment, LGBT rights, and yes, even the wall, can be debated. This is about Trump specifically and his erratic, dangerous, down right scary decision making, some of which goes against everything this country is supposed to stand for.

Trump can't even put on his pants without the left claiming he did it wrong and needs to be impeached.

Our system of government makes it impossible for the drivel you posted to actually happen anywhere but in that twisted imagination of yours.

So yes, in this respect, liberals will believe anything. Just ask the millions of former democrats and republicans who were smart enough to flee their parties and became Independents. I'm probably going to frame my "We're sad to see you go" letter from the RNC.

People are wising up to the pseudo-partisan cronyism of both parties progressive wings. A viable third party isn't too far off, IMHO.
I still stand by it, and for the most part was exactly correct. Trump is the closest thing to a third party President that we have ever had. The white educated women and many dems flipped their votes, and will continue to.

The absolute insanity being displayed by the extreme left is showing just how psychotic they truly are.

Evidently it is not possible for Progs to debate actual issues, so they make up fairy tales and invent StrawMan Conservatives who are assigned ridiculous positions.

Then the Progs hold a debate and WIN!
Imagine that.

Last year I recall posting something to the effect of "Trump could kill a litter of puppies and his supporters would find a way to justify his barbaric act" ... and it's true. More and more I have come to realize that Trump isn't the problem, it's his supporters. Getting rid of Trump and his administration is the easy part, but we're going to be stuck with his delusional, demented, bigoted, ignorant, intolerant supporters for decades to come ... and that's the real problem.

Any day now, I'm expecting him to be donning some Central American/African/Southeast Asian-esque strongman faux military uniform.

We have real life examples of this likely being true. Both Bush and Obama argued that they could suspend the Constitution and ignore Due Process rights.

Very few of their supporters condemned that. It would probably be the same here.

Go read the thread about Trump banning the American press from his meeting with the Russian foreign minister, while at the same time, inviting the Russian press into the meeting. Virtually ever Trump supporter there is happy about the American press being locked out, on U.S. soil, no less, and the Russian press being greeted with open arms. They are celebrating it in that thread.

There is little doubt now that there is virtually nothing Trump could do, even if it goes against the Constitution itself, that would ever prompt a cultist to turn on him. He's busy right now trying to decimate the First Amendment, and they are celebrating it.

Unreal.

Agree. They are like the dumb animals in the book Animal Farm who basically do not have the brain power to reason or think independently. They will be bleeping praises for their great cheetos in chief even as they are led to slaughter. Sad but true.
