A majority of Americans say they wouldn't support former President Trump, new polling shows, even as he remains the overwhelming favorite among Republicans.
Some people process loss or being lied to in different ways. And some people take time to process that loss more than others.
Denial: The election was stolen!
Anger: We have to storm the capital!
Bargaining: We were just trying to protect our democracy.
Depression: Biden is just as bad. <----- Most people are here.
Acceptance: Trump committed election fraud and is going to prison for it
Though I think many MAGA folk will be stuck on depression for quite some time.
Most of them will never get to the last stage because they would have to admit that they were wrong. They would have to admit they were duped by a con man plastered in orange make up. And they will never do that. Their egos are too fragile. They are all in on the big lie.

Give them time. They can still make their way around to
“See? I always said he was a crook.”
That’s actually the first time I’ve heard anybody express it like that. Very interesting and somewhat hopeful.
