Lemme take a shot at cheering you up, ya curmudgeon.

This "we" of which you speak isn't such a tiny beleagured band as your despair suggests. The garbage so blindly loyal to Trump that they're unwilling to see that "Trump and his people are shits" can never be convinced, but what you're perhaps not seeing is that most of the other ~65% don't need convincing. "We" already know.

I'm sure how you perceive Trump support is regional. I'm fortunate to live in a place where I'm not surrounded by red MAGA hats, and sure, that may make me over-optimistic. But it's not just region, it's gender and demographics. Non-rural women solidly hate Trump's guts, and bigger picture, what Trump has shown the world of the true face of conservatism has ensured that the young are lost to the right forever. All that right-wing "outreach" to try to radicalize the young isn't a sign of their strength, it's a sign of their panic as they realize that, as Mitch McConnell admitted a while back, they're not birthing angry white men as fast as angry white men are dying off.

And don't overestimate the propaganda value of "the economy". People understand, for the most part, that there's the 1%'s economy, and then there's their economy. The Republican tax cut for billionaires and their corporations truly doesn't seem to have impressed many people. Even the Trump trash are forced to make excuses for it, but they're grumbling about their smaller refunds.

And finally, all that attempted comfort made no reference to the Mueller report--basically, even without the report, Trump has almost no chance of reelection. If the report is damaging, it may shave a few more points off the hardcore moron support; and even if Trump personally escapes justice (for now), legal troubles for his immediate family and "friends" may make him look for an exit instead of a second term.

Did it work?
