I honestly think so many of them went so balls-deep on embracing this loser that they cannot admit to themselves, never mind others, just how wrong they were.
The vast majority of them aren’t in the denial stages, because they’re still ignorant of everything bad that he’s doing.
Remember, republicans have been maintaining a media ecosystem (Fox News and select radio pundits) for 40+ years spoonfeeding lies to these people, telling them at every opportunity that all other media networks besides them are liars and out to get them/destroy the country/etc. It’s a relationship not unlike domestic abuse, with the abuser telling their victim that no one will “love” and “care for” them as much as the abuser does.
Fox News isn’t reporting on Trump’s low poll numbers, or rising prices, or that ICE is kidnapping innocent people, or that the govt released fully redacted Epstein files, or the damning unredacted files implicating Trump, or any other thing that could put this administration in a negative light. Their bottom line and continued existence depends on them keeping their audience divorced from reality. And their audience largely considers any other media besides Fox News as fake, so these ghouls must keep the grift going and the lies flowing.
They say that family and friends of psychopathic serial killers have that problem. Can’t viscerally admit that they accepted the killer into the family.
Utter embarrassment… anyone associated with this idiot ought to be profoundly ashamed of themselves…

Oh, so you’ve met my parents?
