Transcript:

I've been a loyal Trump supporter since 2016.

I lost a job, friendships, been smeared online, doxxed, and pressed charges on people who've stalked and harassed me for supporting him.

If Trump doesn't want my support, because I care about the Epstein Files, then I'm done.

Bye.

I can vaguely imagine soldiers being loyal to a general in a war. If a general always seems to find a way to win, even against the odds, I can picture his soldiers being willing to... well not to die for him, but the opposite. I can imagine them being fiercely loyal and trying to protect him because he's making sure they don't die.

You basically plucked the thought from my head as to why I added 'borderline' to that sentence. Yes, in a desperate situation, it's not insane to glom on to the safest option available.

But war has never been a great place for being rife with sane options, it's almost always created by one or more people being insane in the first place and making it their neighbors' problem.
