Once you hear the lies, you can't unhear them. You can look away, you can say you didn't hear them, you can refuse to admit you heard what everybody else heard...but you can't unhear them!
That's the world the Trump supporters live in today.
They are a curious lot. I sometimes think I spend more time trying to understand how their thought process works than trying to figure how the mind of their "great omnipotent one" manages to mosey through each day.

I understand these folks voted for him for a variety of reasons: (1) he was a Republican, (2) he was not Hillary, (3) he was probably going to kick a lot of ass for submitting everyone to eight years of "rule by a man of color," (4) he talked tough about building a wall to keep out all of those "brown people" who are gangs of rapists and thugs, and (5) he was going to abolish all of those fool ideas that liberals have about abortions, gays, women, blacks, and anyone who doesn't think or look like him.
You know, all of those "un-American things."
The emperor certainly has no clothes and he is certainly an admitted White Nationalist. Many say he is also a White Supremacist. A small difference when you are speaking of the President of the United States.
But, back to these curious supporters. They hear all of the lies he tells. They hear about his beliefs that our constitution should be rewritten. They, too, have trouble seeing him as the leader of the greatest democracy of all time.
So why do they still follow this guy who believes he is a legend in his own mind?
Maybe...just maybe, because they don't know how to say they made a big, fat mistake. Maybe because they are just hoping he'll "see the light" one day.
Or, maybe they're just hoping he'll sprout wings and fly away.
But I'm betting hell will freeze over and we'll all be selling Popsicles on street corners before they admit to anything.
Remember this: The bell has been rung. The only way forward is straight through our legal system. And don't count on the election to solve anything because the Russians are already working on that again. Mueller gave Congress a road map to solve the problem. Crimes have been committed and the evidence is in the hands of the prosecutors. Hard, believable evidence.
It's just a matter of whether his followers want to accept the laws of our land...or their political rhetoric.
Right now, the Republicans are ignoring our constitution.
