After several days of media replaying the violence (including 5 deaths) and wreckage from the Trump moron mob's Capitol insurrection, initial support among a plurality of Mango Mussolini's supporters shows signs of quickly eroding.
Support for Trump supporters breaking into the US Capitol via new PBS/Marist poll:

All Americans:
8% support
88% oppose

41% of Trump voters believe he has “betrayed the values and interests of the Republican Party.”

55% say his supporters who invaded the Capitol should be prosecuted for their actions and 29% believe they committed treason. https://t.co/UCffBelVs3
We don't want to read too much into this at this time but perhaps, for all but the most deranged (which still represents the majority of his base), the look into the abyss was a sobering inflection point for at least some of his voters. Others, while they might condemn the sacking of the Capitol, refuse to blame Mango Mussolini for the incitement, and likely never will.

So the few lemmings jumping has now turned into a swarm. You would have thought the carnage evident throughout his time in office would have been enough motivation, but better late than never while we may still have a functioning democracy...
Jimmy -- yes, better late than ever. Hope springs eternal that these deluded souls will exit the right- wing media petri dish that's the source of so much of the damage that's been inflicted on our country.
