Trump supporters have gone down the path that I and many others believe is irredeemable. I wanted to ask the Americans here what they think will happen to trump supporters in a post trump America. Do you think there will be an offramp for them if so what do they need to do to make amends?

    Literally nothing is going to happen to them. If we’re lucky, Trump doesn’t go full dictator and we just have another election where they back whoever the candidate is and fully support whatever it is they want to do. There is no world where they face any sort of backlash/accountability for their actions that they haven’t already from family/friends.

    If history has anything to say about them, it will be like Germany where in a decade or so suddenly “no one” voted for Trump. No one admits it

    You can’t hold 40% accountable any more than you can declare them mentally ill. Not that I’m happy about that but I’m trying to be realistic. I think we’ll try to move on best we can and if we can, put guardrails in place (but I don’t know what that would even look like).

    The Supreme Court is probably going to be a problem for decades. I’m fifty. I’m going to be dead before this country is unfucked.
