There is a well known behaviour,.. when a belief becomes a faith,.. any proofs or attacks, just serve to reinforce it. The emotional investment is too strong to back away from, regardless of the evidence.
Like a cornered dog, the cornering reinforces the defence mechanism.
I will admit,.. I am susceptible as much as anyone else.
But, this is why I trust in science, and empirical evidence.
If my defence goes up,... I have chosen to trust the combined consciousness of humanity to steer me.
Trump asked for a gigantic leap of faith...
To those that took up the challenge, they are now, too invested to let go.
From within, this feels like strength,.. from the outside, it is sadly hopeless.
Reality is calling... this emperor gas no clothes...

I, personally,.. have no fear of Trump, or his support...
My science, which includes statistical averaging of polls and surveys,... says Trump has no chance, barring Hillary being struck by lightening.... or Trump transforming into a butterfly.
I would like to believe in a god... and fairness and justice, and eternal life.
...but, you can't choose to believe.
I would like some things to be like they were...
...but I know time does not go backwards.
In politics, I will choose the best path forward... not back.
There is no going back,.. that is just a wish.
Make America great again, is just a wish...
The promise is empty,.. it has no details, plan, or direction...
The past is whitewashed by our nostalgia anyway...
