There are less and less of those who claim to be republicans who are not the ones who will never listen to reason, facts, evidence, common sense unless somehow they can make it fit into their narrative. I know someone who cannot stop supporting trump because he cast his die for the republicans a long time ago and would never live it down to admit he was and still is wrong. A stubbornness to never admit a wrong is strong juju medicine for the right wing republicans. They have no inner sense of balance in their lives so it is fox "news" 24 /7 for them. If there was some way to shut down fox "news" I have no doubt that the intelligence quotient of our nation would immediately begin to rise.
Much of what keeps loyal republicans together is their common hatred for non white people. They have some idea stuck in their craws about the white race and it's highest hierarchy comparatively with all other people of color. It is a simply crude paradigm they base their lives on that has no fact based in reality. Yet because of their fear of those who are not the same color they make life miserable and unfair wherever they go. I try to think about how they see trump as their savior and cannot fathom the depths of their cowardice. How anyone could mistake the grifting conman carnival barker as a deity is absurd, absurd absurd. Yet for millions of faithful republican voters this is their false reality.
The final tally come the 2020 election will tell us just who is left in the republican party as a voter and I suspect it won't be anywhere near the approximately 62 million voters from the 2016 election who voted for trump. That is a lot of folks who were willing to follow the pied piper right off the cliff yet as they keep getting closer to that cliff we see much wavering on their part to blindly step into the empty abyss. They are less sure of the conman although not quite unsure enough to stop voting for him in still too large of numbers. But those numbers are coming down and for that our nation will save itself from the self destruction that trump and republicans have for our working middle poor class and the democracy that sustains our modern enlightened civilization.
