(396 posts)...he is accused of. I think many of them already knew he was a creep in that way. Heck, half of that 37% would probably be into it themselves if they had the money and the access.
I think the horrible truth they are learning that they actually will care about right now is that Putin and Netanyahu are playing him--and the U.S.--as a fool. In their minds his bluster was real; he had a magical way with world leaders; he could end wars with a phone call.... It's becoming painfully obvious how wrong that was.
Add to that the economic pain his misguided policies are causing to so many of those 37% and the mighty Wizard of Ooze is in true danger of being exposed as a fraud in their eyes.
It is crazy that his base would not care about preying on underage girls, but they already knew that to some extent. When he was able to attack John McCain as not being a war hero I knew the nuevo-Republican base was ideologically and morally bankrupt. I think at this point they only really care about their own personal economies and whether America looks tough on the world stage. As Felon-47 strips those two things away from them even the cruelty to immigrants and trans and gay people and women will cease to satisfy them.
Only then will they fall into despair. But for them there is nowhere else to go. There are no safe houses for battered MAGAs to go to once the realization finally hits home. Hopefully they will once again be politically homeless, and they can go back into their bitter holes. Unfortunately, it won't be because they came to realize that their savior was a pedophile, and that was a bridge too far....
