the people who still support him has gone so far up. They are all over social media (local Facebook) I keep an account for communication with a few relatives I don't want to talk to on the phone and for reading our town FB pages which often have information on stuff we might need to know about....like how Highway 30 is after the sleet, snow, ice, etc.

But, the MAGAt true believers are in a frenzy these days, multiple posts a day about how wonderful he is and how things are better than ever....real "I'm trying to convince myself that reality isn't real". They state that gas prices are the lowest they've ever been, that we're winning wars all over the world.

The most devoted MAGAts are losing their shit, because they don't know how to deal with the fact that he is actively harming them.
