I used to know of few of them* and it is unlikely they will ever change their minds. Even as the worst of the Epstein files come out and the economy tanks. They won't budge.

*I make an effort to avoid them now. I'm not interested in their cult.

They have invested so much emotionally (and usually financially), that admitting they were wrong would be devastating to their psyche.

I used to know someone who went so far down the hole that I doubt he'll ever come out and admit he made a mistake. He is still wearing the red cap - literally and metaphorically. The last time I saw him, he had turned to a lot of what-aboutisms about Obama and revisionist history, rather than face the truth. We used to be able to have semi-reasonable policy discussions. Not anymore. So I just do myself a favor and stay away.

I suspect that there are also some people who support Trump in these polls who know Trump is bad. But saying so would make "Libs" look good so they lie and say Trump is doing a good job.

Honestly, this will trigger a few mean posts on his vanity site, but no worse.

You want flying ketchup, ask the same question between Fatso and Obama, getting the sa,me result.

is they over-sample republicans. So if the Orange Turd is doing worse than Biden, it says a lot about what republicans are thinking.

In the RealClear Polling website, Rasmussen has the Orange Turd's disapproval rating at 56%.
