An old saying about campaigns but it applies now. Just like a cult, if Dear Leader were to be wrong then they were wrong to follow him. It’s very hard for people to admit they were wrong.

I haven’t been over to Freeper land in a long time mainly because it horrible to navigate or follow along with conversations.

From what I’ve seen on Twitter, the standards are:
Give it time.
He’s all knowing.
He's winning! (regardless of what’s happening)
That’s what I voted for! (again regardless)
I’m not retiring for x years. I’m sure it will be fine by then.
And my favorite , Who looks at their 401k everyday???


Or some mixture of the above.
