2. sorry, not buying it for two reasons.

first, if they were sincere (which i highly doubt), well, they got to where they were because they have no backbone or principals; in any event, they are incapable of doing anything remotely "disloyal" to dear leader. they aren't acting because they were chosen for their inability to act in a way contrary to whatever donnie wants. they do not see a way to push back because they were chosen for their blindness.

second, what exactly are they "disillusioned" with? it surely not the sudden discovery that a convicted felon is a criminal. no, if they're disillusioned, its with the fact that donnie is simply not as effective and competent as they thought he was. they are seeing up close and personal that he's always been "all hat no cattle", or all image no substance.

he's the cosplay president, just as they are cosplay supporters and cosplay cabinet members and so on. they know what a successful right-wing government is supposed to *look* like, but they have no idea how to achieve it because they are all show and no go.

so when they complain about his criminality, all they are hoping for is that eventually he'll be forced out and they can hope that vance can be more effective because even if he's an idiot, at least he's not as utterly incompetent as donnie.
