They promise to "go down hard" (in Bannon's case go medieval), yet not one of them actually has the guts to live up to the "tough guy" pledge.

@MistyCee Well, even romanticization needs to be (and can be) quantified. In other words, if you just consider most of the people who directly worked in the White House and were surrounded by the insurrectionist mechanizations and craziness who were fully on-board until things became too detached from reality (Bill Barr, Mick Mulvaney, the Pence team, Mark Esper, Betsy DeVoss, etc.) all that "love and support" simply became less so. It's entirely reasonable to assume that same deterioration in adoration dropped off from "the base."

For some reason you seem to enjoy the notion that T---p is invincible and that support for his tiresome antics are widespread. Except, he's not and they are not.

@MarkPaul I'm not thinking Trump is invincible, but at the same time I'm not buying that support for his antics is necessarily limited, even say, to 30% of voters.

My guess would be, honestly, that the the percentage of people who came into close contact with Trump and then lost their romantic attraction to Trumpism would be higher then those who didn't see it up close.
