      A short stay in jail won’t break Donnie. It will energize his followers, and we’ll have to hear them comparing him to Mandela and MLK for the next century.

        I think the mugshots without his hair and makeup will go a long way in deflating not only his ego, but also the cult of personality built on his ego.

          All his followers look in the mirror every morning. He is their ego projected. They will feel rage vicariously as if they were the ones being robbed of their dignity and dig in further.

            Sounds hilarious.

            More seriously, these people are lost. There is little purpose in trying to convert them, anyone hanging onto Trump now is either so incredibly ignorant we should just try to stem their paint-chip eating habit, so stupid they shouldn’t be allowed to order appetizers unsupervised, or basically just fantastically bad, as in “I don’t care if the world burns as long as I make a tidy sum before we collectively have to close up shop.”

              “These people” are a fairly large percent of the country. Certainly enough to get him elected again. Wailing about them being lost, ignorant, and stupid doesn’t change that fact. Ignore them at your own peril.
