The question is, how much time until they realize it and how more time until they admit it.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Neither of these are going to happen.
They're already denying he ever promised to bring grocery prices down.
The real Trump Derangement Syndrome is the people defending him no matter what.
Always has been. The phrase was projection.
Nobody had even heard the word groceries before he started talking about it.
His followers
They will never realize it as long as they have Others to blame for it instead.
'blame someone else' has always been a part of the propaganda controlling them. its core to getting them to vote against their own best interests. it will always be someone elses fault
It’s the aliens from Mexico! No, wait, Canada! No, wait, the drones in New Jersey! No, wait…
Since it's all of those, they'll deal with it by oppressing trans people.
Never, they'll blame it on the opposition somehow.
It takes sustained “reality doesn’t not match internal model” for anything to happen. I’ll give them ten years for them to start saying “maybe I was wrong”. People are very very good at ignoring something they don’t want to see. Citation: global warming.
We got ourselves an optimist here! I sincerity hope you're right. But 40 years on and they still worship terrorists like Reagan. Call me sufficiently jaded. But I would love to be surprised.
Sinclair media group will keep broadcasting to them that doofus drump needs more time to make it work. And they'll eat it up.
Trumpers blame Obama for things during, and after, the Trump administration... still.
At least they will be feeling the real consequences, regardless of their blindness to the cause, which was their own actions.
Exactly. As long as Trump frames his lies properly to blame the left, liberals, Democrats, etc. they’ll believe and continue to follow him without question.
They don't have the awareness to know if he betrayed them or not so it doesn't matter
All Trump has to do is say it’s the fault of the liberal Democrats trying to destroy this country. They’ll believe it without question.
His supporters no longer matter to him. They elected him, and now they serve no further purpose, at least not until he realizes that he's going to need them to be violent on his behalf.
Be prepared. !Resist@fedia.io that shit.
Again.
Let's not forget, this is his default action.
the obedient lapdogs will lick it up and vote R regardless.
I'm planning to put up a sign right in the middle of my town saying, "You voted for this, you dumb asses, now enjoy it."
Should make for an interesting conversation piece on my town page on facebook
Ive been leaving a cheap American flag to tatter and stain so I can put it up upside-down day 1 on a new flagpole I got just for it
It only looks slightly worse than my "murrrrrricaaaaaaaaan" neighbor's so I wonder when the first pissy comment will be
Do it. Take pictures.
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you... well not that shocked
whaaaat?
Reeaally? Nooo waaayyy.
But he hasn't betrayed the billionaires, right? RIGHT??? PLEASE TELL ME THE BILLIONAIRES ARE FINE!
Betray? These idiots actually believed that their leader had any loyalty to them.
Trump isn't betraying anyone ... he never had any loyalty to begin with.
Think about this: Fucking Brazil is now seen as a more reliable trading partner than the US.
Whats wrong with Brazil?
Nothing, but the US should be able to sell soybeans as well as, if not better than Brazil, or any other country.
"I love the uneducated!"
Lol, no shit?
Leopard is about to eat some faces
Who said he won't betray his urban supporters?
Oh... he will, lol
They literally siad they don't care in an interview I read a few weeks ago.
They're Republicans. They'll twist anything in their minds to be a "win" as long as it pisses Democrats off - that's all they care about anymore. At least until the shit hits their own personal fan, by which time it's too late.
Do I get to post this in reply when someone reposts that article from Cracked every two weeks now?
What article from Cracked?
TL;DR: In this article the author explains to us that rural Trump voters have been vilified by untrue stereotypes or assumptions about them perpetuated by urban Democrats, and that of course they must turn to Trump. The tentpoles upon which the author's premise and viewpoint hang are untrue assumptions or stereotypes about urban Democrats.
The article probably doesn't literally get posted every two weeks, but I run across it amazingly often, and somehow no one ever describes it using the second sentence in my summary.
Read the article, thanks for sharing. "The tentpoles upon which the author's premise and viewpoint hang are untrue assumptions or stereotypes about urban Democrats." Is an accurate assessment.
Dumb motherfuckers deserve the consequences for their own actions. I don’t want them to suffer, but they disagree for some reason.
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are running the night
Impossible comes true, it's taking over you
(Oh, this is the greatest show)
We light it up, we won't come down
And the walls can't stop us now
Watching it come true, it's taking over you
(Oh, this is the greatest show)
