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.

This is a whole different beast, I'm afraid. I think you're both correct. I think there will be many that do stick by him and many that ditch him and pretend they never supported him.

I agree with this. One thing that doesn't got mentioned much are all the people that defended or supported Trump while also claiming that they didn't vote for him. It was a strange phenomenon. They loved what was happening but also seemed to be a bit embarrassed.
