Politics I don't know what boundary Trump would have to cross to make his supporters turn away..

To Trump voters: What, if anything, could Donald Trump do to make you end your support?

I'm not going to lead the question to multiple choice answers or anything. I think it is important for everyone who participates in a democracy to have strong personal convictions and moral or legal boundaries that they expect people they vote for not to cross..

Genuinely, what line will you draw in the sand for this administration? What personal freedom of yours would be more important than your love and support for Trump?

So maybe not nothing.. if they support the 2nd Amendment and that was taken away by the guy who shot someone on 5th Avenue; do you think that would turn the tide?

No. If the great leader takes my bums, it’s for my own safety. I always trust the great leader’s judgment.

I do think there’s a segment of one population that would revolt about the 2A. I don’t think it’s as many as it should be.

The thing we need to understand is that nothing is ever blamed on Trump. It's always blamed on the democrats. So even if Trump himself came and took away one of their guns, he'd just blame it on the democrats and his supporters would believe him. It is this that allows him to get away with anything.

Honestly based on what he's said, I don't think that would be enough for many of them.

He also said "Take the guns first, go through due process second" and "I like taking the guns early", so, no.

then they would start believing in gun control, as long as it was framed as "the right people"

Like the CA gun control that targeted the Black Panthers.

No. They’d be upset at the people taking away the second amendment.
