Oh, no, say it isn’t so! Not the evangelists’ golden boy, donnie? Doing more illegal things?
People who are really into trump don’t care. To them he’s probably a martyr fighting the good fight and doing what has to be done to stop evil. This isn’t a gotcha moment for them.
The thing is, they absolutely believe the narcissist’s prayer:
That didn’t happen. = Trump didn’t do that, these are false charges.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. = It’s not a terrible thing …
And if it was, that’s not a big deal. = Hilary’s emails! Hunter’s laptop! Much worse than this!
And if it is, that’s not my fault. = The files were included by accident!
And if it was, I didn’t mean it. = He only wanted to go through his files.
And if I did, you deserved it. = F’ing Democrats, I don’t care anyway, go Trump!
Oh, I absolutely believe that. There is no gotcha moment for them. Even if the SOB is frogmarched off to prison, they’d view him as a martyr, and some of them may even get violent over it (again). Until then, every single crime he gets away with is something they view as “winning” by proxy. That whole “grabbing them by the pussy” is a great example of this. They pretended they thought people were upset about him saying “pussy”, when he was really bragging about sexually assaulting women, and getting away with it. And they well know this was the issue; they just pretend it was all over language. Just “locker room talk”, bla bla blah. Deep down, many of them take special glee in knowing donnie has and will continue to get away with this sort of thing…
Most of them are probably absolutely powerless, and just white xtian cishet men that are butthurt they are not the center of the universe any more and no longer can push people around like they used to. But they see donnie doing it, and they think this “owns the libs”. It gets them absolutely nothing of course, but their dumb culture war nonsense goads this kind of stuff on…
