Many Trump supporters would agree he can, has, and will make mistakes.

But they have just spent 4 years becoming increasingly identified with a movement centered around Trump the individual. It's much easier to believe him at that point.

Anyone who seriously thinks Trump supporters who spent the last five years or more accusing their political opponents of taking part in Satanic rituals and eating babies are going to deradicalize in significant numbers after he lost is dangerously naive.
