I think more and more Trump supporters are realizing they made a mistake, but don't know how to abandon ship and save face. Trump asked for so much investment and gave little in return. He turned otherwise decent folk into people that had to defend, apologize, and endorse abhorrent behavior. Legit issues were interbred with some pretty nasty stuff last election. People losing jobs, economic stagnation, threat of terrorism -- was mixed subtly and overtly with racism and bigotry. In the end, people became mean and angry. Even people that oppose his behavior (e.g. liberals) have become violent and nasty in protests. No one has clean hands here.
While I think it is acceptable to ridicule terrible behavior, people looking to break from the nastiness of the past 1.5 years should be given a break. On both sides. I believe in a good come-back story. The alternative is that they go down with the ship, and liberals and progressives spend the next half century rubbing salt in the wound. Which may feel good, but accomplishes nothing.
