I isolated this sentence and this sentence alone. And no, I'm not taking this statement out of context. All you have to do is take Jan 6th along with the fact that you and the rest of your cult are still defending it and the lies behind it is all the proof anyone needs that you have zero self-awareness of what's going on right now in your own party.
"Throughout and following his time in office, Donald Trump has maintained a strong base of support often referred to as "loyalists". However, a significant number of individuals who were once considered loyal to him have publicly distanced themselves or become critics, facing various consequences as a result.
Political and professional consequences
- Frozen out or passed over: Those who challenged Trump, like Nikki Haley, have been excluded from a second administration, according to NBC News.
- Loss of positions: Republicans in Congress who voted to impeach Trump or questioned his actions faced primary challenges, ostracization from the party, or even left Congress.
- Targeted rhetoric and public criticism: Trump and his allies have publicly attacked and disparaged former supporters who became critical, according to CNN.
Loss of influence and security
- Stripped security details: Trump removed security details from former officials who have faced threats, such as Dr. Anthony Fauci and Mike Pompeo, reports The New York Times.
- Legal scrutiny: Some loyalists who participated in efforts to challenge the 2020 election results, like Jenna Ellis, Kenneth Chesebro, and Sidney Powell, have faced legal charges and entered plea deals.
Social and personal consequences
- Online harassment and threats: Some individuals who spoke out against Trump have been targeted with harassment and threats from his supporters, says AP News.
It's important to note that the impact on individuals can vary. Some former loyalists have found new platforms and continue to be vocal critics, while others have retreated from the public spotlight. Additionally, some individuals who initially criticized Trump have later reconciled with him, suggesting that the dynamics of loyalty and opposition within his sphere can be fluid and complex.
