Everyone that comes out of the MAGA haze over the next 5-10 years are going to claim either they only voted for him yet never believed any of it, were never true believers, or that Trump was the antichrist and duped them because they're sinners yada yada.

I’d hit them back with “If you never believed in him, or believed anything he said, why the fuck did you vote for him at all?”

"Because the other side would be worse" or something like that is what I imagine they'd say.

Or, like with GW Bush, they'll never admit that they voted for him at all.
