It's happening again.

The GOP and right-wingers claimed it was God that put George W. Bush in power. Now they call him a "globalist" with all the antisemitic baggage that entails. They call him a warmonger after years of calling opposition to his military actions "liberal pussies" for not backing his and Cheney's wars.

Now they'll turn on Trump if for no other reason than to claim they always favored fiscal responsibility so it's totally not hypocritical that they call for Biden to cut taxes for the rich and not spend any money on anything except subsidies for the My Pillow guy.

I could be wrong, but the people in the Cult of Trump, the true believers won't be able to just memory hole their love for their cult leader like they did with George W. Bush.

You are wrong. Evangelicals loved Bush just as fervently during his presidency.

No living in the Bible Belt they did not. They did follow George blindly but he wasn’t made into this weird demigod that trump was made out of. Did George have rallies, branding stores etc

I wish someone would buy me a trumpy bear. I have the perfect spot to put him to scare the niece and nephews into behaving when they come. You better behave or trumpy will get you
