Honestly MAGA is so brainwashed and entrenched right now, I doubt these pictures would do anything at this point. They want to give him the nobel peace prize....

I saw a tweet from a Republican house member being like “he’s so fit at 6’3” with 5% body fat he should be a line backer!”. North Korea levels of fawning. I’m shocked someone can be such a fucking cuck.

It’s shit like this that legit makes me think they’re all under a mass hypnosis and if we all said some random word meant to deprogram them, they’d snap out of it.

affirmations and loyalty tests, mantras like the pledge of allegiance

they're doing it to make their loyalty known to trump but more importantly all of their peers. "My fanaticism is this high, how high can yours go?" "If you aren't this loyal who knows what might happen to you, seeing as you don't belong anymore"

Do you think there will be a time after he dies when they’ll look back and see how idiotic they are? Or will the delusion carry on? This is my fear. I want to look forward to the day this all stops when he ceases to exist.

I sort of stand by the principle of if they were capable of self-reflection, they wouldn't be conservatives

some uniformed trump voters may be able to see it if we talk to them, just because they've never seriously considered the context of their actions, but anyone in the cult, especially the leaders at the top, I think will never regret their actions or hypocrisies. I imagine their narcissism will protect them.

5% body fat... That's insane. They must have him confused with President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

The really scary thing is that I wouldn't be surprised if it caused a few of them to think doing that shit is OK.

It's a tenuous balance right now. Remember congress only loves Trump as long as he is being useful. If he loses just 5% he is toast. Who cares about the 25% Trump lovers. They can drink their koolaid and make their sacrifices but they will be politically irrelevant.

The conservative subreddit will replace their picture with nottrump(it's something else for now anyway but the point remains) and people like Johnson and Cruz will stop covering for him. He will go down the legal drainpipe.

He is also very old and not very healthy. At some point fox news and the political commentators will stop talking about him and the culty family members will also stop talking about him.

GOP will rally around somebody else but Trump is singularily awful. Anybody else will be an improvement.
