Trump said he could shoot someone and his supporters wouldn’t care. He knows them best. He’s developed a bond with them that defies facts. Cognitive dissonance about his past and present they can deal with quite well. It’s the guy who says, “Look. The king has no clothes.” That upsets them. Telling the truth about Trump has become a real sin to his supporters.
Exactly... a bond that is emotional and nearly spiritual. This is very reminiscent of the Obamalove that swept the country in 2008.
