        And I have the feeling — which is all that it is — that suggesting that people inject themselves with disinfectant may in its own way be the comparable moment, when even the true believers run out of excuses 4/

        Of course I could be wrong. But right now my sense is that, to turn the pundit cliche on its head, yesterday was the day Trump stopped being president 5/

        Why would it be different? This seems like just another in a long line.

        Nope. they're part of a cult and insane. People need to stop hoping they will see the light about Trump. He's crazy, they're crazy, end of story.

        Not everyone who voted for Trump was part of the cult. There are Republicans and Independents who will not vote for him this time. In November, some will vote for Biden and some will stay home.
