Does their comfort bubble include comfort prices on things? If so how do I get in on that?
It was one thing when all the bad stuff was happening to people they wouldn’t associate with, but tanking the economy and firing scores of government employees has gotta be breaking into that bubble, right?
AFAIK that depends really: Sure, those who are not really part of the “cult” will likely drop out, but the “ever faithful” will double down, because they will consider such hardship to be a test of their faith.
At this point I think that it is safe to say that at minimum about 20% of the population is lost. Someone who thinks that invading Greenland and that these tariffs are good is not going to be reasoned out of their position.

That effect can be seen here:
It scares me that even the “normal Republicans” still have >= 50% approval on the economy and prices
