Or they'll say that was MAGA and not Republicans. Or just pretend that they never really supported him at all.

Sort of like how it became impossible for years after the Bush administration to find anyone who would admit to having voted for him.

Fortunately we have the internet, where many of them have been very loud and open about their support. With plenty of pictures of them and their mandatory 101 pieces of Trump flair.

When the fanfare dies and the tide turns, I suspect we will find that no one voted for him and everyone's confused how it happened. Because no one will want to have accountability for what they did. The only fortunate part is with social media what it is today that you'll never be able to scrub all the evidence of who you were then when you voted for this.
