I know, it was deliberate on his part. But now he's starting to realize the cost of his behavior, as even his allies turn on him.
I used to attend a house church group in Newmarket. The man who hosted it is a FB friend, and a staunch Trump supporter (even though Canadian
) Although he is now echoing the right wing spin about "Trump has NEVER been prejudiced", he has posted quite a few links recently that are critical of what happened in Charlottesville, and warn about the dangers of Neo-Nazis and prejudice against anyone who isn't white/WASP.
The light is gradually starting to dawn... And when I post things that are critical of Trump's behavior, he listens, and even sometimes likes them. For instance, he agreed that Trump SHOULD have spoken up sooner.
Of course, he liked it when Trump read out the teleprompter sound bite blasting the Neo-Nazis and white supremacists, but was notably silent when he backpedalled, and again criticized 'both sides' for their part in the violence.
I was a guest in this man's home nearly every Wednesday night for several years. He is a decent humanbeing. It hurts to see him being deceived.
