Trump voters will soon learn reality is non-negotiable.

You can ignore reality. You can hope reality never happens. You can twist reality. You can follow another persons reality. You can make up your own reality, it will not change this fact.

You are talking about the people who still believe in demonstrably insane stuff like Pizzagate, Clinton's kill list, the Q nonsense and the deep state. They won't adjust their believes when reality isn't agreeing with them.

All of the "illegals" who voted; how the "librul media" turns everyone against Trump; How all of the snowflakes who protest or the teachers who walked out or the other protesters should just shut up and get jobs.

That 4000 years ago a 700 year old man built a boat for all living animals and that a god that sends billions of people to a painful eternity is Loving.

They left reality behind a long time ago.

6. Now that you've changed "soon" to "a long time," your point is more plausible.

A few will indeed learn soon. (Some have already.) Given a long time, some more will join them.

But even with forever, quite a few will stick with Trump. Reports adverse to him will be dismissed as fake news by the hoaxing liberal media. Facts that stubbornly resist even that powerful remedy will be ascribed to the machinations of the Deep State or the Democratic Party or some other designated villain.
