They are absolutely delusional. I went to the cesspool that is /r/conservative, hoping, PRAYING for people to respond like normal human beings on reading news like that.
Nope.
None of this.
Complete delusion, with select quotes:
“He still has my vote”
“Liars! Liars on the witness stand. This poor man does not deserve this”
They're not just in the South anymore either. They probably wouldn't admit they want a king, even though you're right. But it's the same movement regardless. They are the children of the Confederacy, attempting to bring it back.
