If we really are seeing a purge — how will Trump supporters feel as you begin seeing voices that disagree disappear from the national conversation? Some may be silenced other may give up.

I guess you'll have to go to parlor to see what they are talking about.
If you are for the purge then why do you care since you don't want to see what they say to begin with ?
"...The hope for this small but very influential group of Republicans and former Republicans over the last four years has been that if conservative voters come to dislike Trump, they will also stop liking his policies. In fact, many are blunt about the fact that they think most of his voters are too stupid to even know what his policies are. That is wrong, and it’s why their past efforts to wrest back Republican voters have failed and why this one will too.
There are, of course, voters in the thrall of Trump’s cult of personality, just as there were under Obama. But I have talked to a lot of Trump voters all over the country in the past several years, and most of them take a transactional view of Trump. They know he can be petty and vindictive, but they also know he has achieved wins on their issues — the ones listed above, not the Chamber of Commerce issues — that would have been impossible for the GOP to achieve before Trump...."
As this article points out, Trump picked up on something every mainstream politician missed. Those issues are not going away just because President Trump lost his reelection bid.

We have a bingo.
A 4-5 year campaign against Trump made sure ALL Americans could see his warts.
He is the most exposed man in humanities history.
And 47% of the electorate support him and whatever stances he takes on issues.

I'd say they'd feel there is no political option or future left and to move toward peaceful secession?

I despise Trump but this is a good article on his effect on the Republican party.

You still don't get. Many people who voted for Trump, including me, didn't vote for Trump, we voted against the Democratic party. I'm no fan of Trump, but his shortcomings are minuscule compared to the evil that is the Democratic party. Personally, I think for myself. I could care less if people disagree with me. I'm open to rational discourse, but sadly, Democrats and liberals killed that long ago.

Yeah I get it — 75 million people wanted as far away from the Democratic Party as possible.
