Hypothetically, if Trump gets locked up/impeached, will Trump supporters accept it?

These pussy mother fuckers won't do shit but watch fox news to get talking points, get on Facebook, and proceed to make fools out of themselves.
And in general, most of them are old, white people, so they are all really low energy folks who will sit back and continue to bitch about ms13 and thugs until the day they rot away back into the soil.

They already think anything negative about Trump is a conspiracy by...everyone. They would turn on the Bible and the USA before they turned in Trump.
Going after their guns might be the only thing that spooks them. That or someone throwing water in Trump's face, washing away the whiteface, and revealing a black man.
They are basically hopeless shits.

Trump's following was specifically sought and nurtured on the internet. They're effectively a wide reaching cult.
The fact that his approval rating is still in that range now really says a lot about his popularity right now.
Can you back this statement up with poll data and election data not from 2016?
I think a lot of it has to do with Trump being viewed as a "retaliatory strike" against political correctness and the erosion of white privilege. Even now, you're still hearing stories about people that run to up other people, scream at them "speak English, you're in America," and then they get fired when people film them and the videos go viral. So MOST reasonably intelligent racists realize that they have to stay "in the closet" if they want to get along in society and, wonder of wonders, having to suppress their nature like that is something they find inhuman and unfair.
So, when someone comes along that is openly what they wish to be, they cling onto that, and become "loud and proud," without any sense of self-awareness of just how ironic their sense of injustice at having suppress who they really are, and palpable relief at being able to "come out" about it, really is.
Trump gets impeached and they'll start burning American flag themselves to fly Confederate ones.
No. Most of these people were around long before Trump, most clearly emerging recently during the Obama administration as the 'Tea Party'. Removing Trump is like displacing all their 'hard work and achievement'.
A part of them will bitch and moan on the internet while not doing anything. Another part will sit down and grumble while they watch Fox News and maybe go to a few protests. A small minority will be wacked out of their mind enough to go out and start shooting people
People will die if he is impeached. A few of his supporters will see it as the last straw, that the world is out to get them and their peers, and in the last moments of their life they will violently lash out. Trump will call them passionate. I doubt he will be impeached though.
I'm inclined to say it's going to be a horrible mess, but I think a lot of people are going to be relieved when Mueller comes up with a damning report that gets Trump impeached/arrested. Then they don't have to own up to their horrible mistakes and choices they've made and can act all surprised about all the crimes that were committed.
But it's probably going to be a horrible mess, like all the other things which involve Easy D......

"The evidence has been quite damming"
If you believe this you've already bought into it too much.
I don't know what will happen. Anything could happen. But I think if he was a threat to the country the people with that knowledge and those powers wouldn't simply let him have the office for almost two years.
That is more about my trust in the checks and balances in our government than any actual feeling about the current administration. I don't think any one person has the power to do anything that bad.
And the hyperbole from some about how bad things are just make me laugh. If this is fascist rule all the history books are fiction.

There are different groups of trump supporters. There are those that only care about what he can do for them when it comes the courts, taxes, etc. Those people likely will accept it. They know he's a horrible person, they did a deal with the devil, but they don't care as long as they get theirs and those they don't like hurt. They'll move on.
It's those super hardcore people that will likely lose it. Those that for some damn reason worship him. Will never admit they were lied to. The ones that know he said he'd take away the healthcare they have , didn't believe him and even after he took steps to do it say they would still vote for him again. He can do no wrong. These people would lose their minds in the end. They're to far gone now. Not even Fox News will get through to him. In fact I doubt this group even bothers with Fox News.

The further I get into debt, the more I have this dream about winning 350 million dollars in the lottery. I imagine giving some to my family, some to my closest friends, and some to people who have touched my life in some way.
Those who actually have that kind of money have next to no reason to think about me, nor do they plan for the contingency of me showing up at the country club.
The mind wanders.

I mean, I thought things were gonna get bad myself, but I didn't see child internment camps coming, personally. I dunno, it depends on how you feel about child internment camps, I guess.
Easy, no they won't. They are completely brainwashed by Fox News and Brietbart.
Source: My dad and stepmom who are totally brainwashed and don't believe anything said by the "biased media" and only listen to what Fox tells them. Unless Fox says somethign that might actually make the Republicans look wrong (when I pointed out an article before Trump got elected from Fox that even said he had said a certain thing my stepmom then just told me that all media is biased and that they took him out of context). They only listen to those that tell them what htey want to hear. And they don't want to hear that the Republicans are not on their side and not the true patriots.

I fully expect people are going to die. Probably not full riots or anything, but there're going to be shootings. His base is misguided and stupid at best, completely fucking deranged at worst, and they're armed to the teeth.

They would keep doing terrorist attacks just like they have been during his presidency, but probably worse?
the ones who supported him because he has an R by his name probably will
the ones that listened to what he was saying and agreed with everything and either disregard all the horrible stories about him or decry them as "fake news" probably won't
I don't know what those percentages are amongst republicans though.

Strong man cult of personality collapses as soon as the strong man seems weak. They'll bitch and moan for a while, but won't be motivated to do anything (most of them at least). And before long after that you won't be able to find anyone who admits to having voted for Trump in the first place.
The hardcore supporters will either stop voting out of despair that "the deep state has won" or scream about it until they die. The less fanatical ones will move on.
I'm most interested in what happens after Trump leaves office one way or another - the Trump presidency has a maximum time limit, after all. The GOP are basically stuck with the huge problem of who amongst their ranks can actually succeed Trump. The next guy who tries to follow up on Trump is likely not going to be remotely as charismatic or capable of dealing with a smarter Democratic candidate who has learned from the 2016 experience and doesn't have the baggage of Hillary Clinton. The GOP is also stuck with a hopelessly divided caucus that has resulted in rather limited congressional progress on partisan issues.
Everyone and their mother ran for the GOP primaries in 2016, once Trump is out it'll be that all over again except without Trump, and everyone else in the last race was shown to be hopelessly underwhelming in some fashion, and in the case of Ted Cruz, he's probably loathed even more by his own party after he refused to back Trump at the convention. Mike Pence, winning in his own right? Haha, good luck with that.
The GOP is fucked in either 2020 or 2024 once Trump leaves office, barring a miracle candidate, really.

That won't change anything either.
They'll either find excuses, or conveniently ignore it
Lol, need you even ask? Of course not. The people who forever think Obama wasn't a legitimate president and wanted him deported over nothing, will 100% never accept Trump going down for things he is crystal clear guilty of.
The USA is super super fucked, it only gets worse from here.

No, because they are stupid and bigoted. Trump is a conduit for them to rationalize their hatred, so they will look at him like a martyr.
More importantly, none of that matters, because they don't matter. Bigots should never be given any consideration.

You can bank on the NRA and other conservative/Kremlin propups to tweet deseperate "wake up calls" to its true american patriots to go out and find justice on their own. There will be probably be some violence. Thats just what fucking cowards do. I don't think we should fear it, because we already know what it is.
If the president does it it's not illegal!
This guy represents a HUGE part of the problem
