But you see, only trump's opinion matters, and trump hates dogs. If he picks her, magats will fall in line and come up with rationalizations that what she did was good.

Not saying it's right, but most people feel more attachment to their dogs than to strangers (immigrants, queers, liberals etc). So while there will definitely be maga people who still support her, what I'm saying is on average, more people who might otherwise be supporters will be disturbed.

I think you're right that they'd be disturbed. But I think their cognitive dissonance will overcome that and they'll rationalize it in whatever way they need to to see it as acceptable, because in their eyes trump never makes a mistake or does anything wrong.

THIS. They will go crazy(ier) from the cognitive dissonance but they'll probably champion donnie/Kristi kind of thinking, calling dog owners "woke" and SJW, etc...

Even Hitler loved dogs. If this comes to pass, the magats won't even have that going for them.
