MODERATORS
I agree it will take him some time, maybe not quite as much as you think, but my point was I don't think anyone else could even get there. Even Regan had limits in what the faithful would put up with, he wasn't teflon. But no matter what Trump does, the MAGAts will support him and the moderate republicans, if there is such a thing anymore, will go along to avoid earning their wrath.
There is only one caveat I can think of. Trump can do anything without losing MAGAt support, but he can't say anything. There have been scattered instances of Trump saying something that deviated from the MAGA ethos and actually getting booed. He can still do the things that would get him booed but say he's doing the exact opposite and those morons will never question it. He just has to keep assuring his cult he's hurting the people they hate.
As long as he keeps tossing red meat to those hateful scumbags by abusing our most vulnerable fellow citizens and increasing oppressive efforts on other groups they hate, they will cheer any and every thing he does even as they're being herded into forced labor ghettos.
