I am so tired of this question, because anyone who is paying attention and isn’t deliberately deceiving themselves knows the answer is nothing.

He is Kim Jong Il, and the 37ish percent of Americans who stand by him are the brainwashed people of North Korea who are suffering because of him, and worship him, anyway.

His fans – his cultists – will never turn on him, and it’s time to stop treating this small number of people like they are rational people, acting on good faith. They are racists, they are authoritarians, they are slavish followers of his cult of personality. 

And they are barely 4 in 10 people, so maybe instead of being so fucking focused on them, focus on the nearly 7 in 10 people who are disgusted by him, want him out of office, and are willing to do something about it.

American Evangelical Christians used to be the most likely to drop their support for a candidate if he showed moral failing.

A survey that the BBC reported on last night (19th August 2018) shows that they are now the least likely to drop a candidate if he shows moral failing. This is entirely in response to and caused by Trump.

They give no fucks about what he does, all they care about is what he lets them do, which is threaten trans children, deny gay people their civil rights, harass immigrants, turn women back into property and murder black people.

Don’t work on changing their minds, they’re a lost cause. Get others out to vote. And then abolish the electoral college.
