Bernie’s poll numbers are in free fall, and it’s rapidly dawning on the Bernie Bros that his campaign will be over before the primary really gets started. The death throes of the #BSRevolution will be brutal. Bernie’s followers will dig in harder. As Mark Twain (probably) said, it’s much easier to fool someone than to convince them they’ve been fooled.

If you encounter a bitter Bro on social media or in real life, here are some things you can expect:

They will say everything- from the polls to the debates to the endorsement process to the crowd count- is RIGGED.

They will say everything negative about Bernie is “fake news” even if there’s video.

They will say anyone who doesn’t worship Bernie is on the take. They can’t conceive of any other reason.

They will bring up Hillary, Wisconsin, and the April 2016 Harvard-Harris poll, a LOT.

They will say 95% of Americans support Medicare for All. They won’t mention that the number sinks to 13% when you add a dollar figure, and when you bring it up, they will say most Americans will be fine with a 10% income tax increase.

They will tell you all the candidates have adopted Bernie’s platform. This is not true. A few of them use his slogans, but no one supports getting rid of ACA or giving free college to the 1%.

They will blame anti-semitism, especially if you bring up his shady fundraising tactics or 900+ FEC violations and fines.

They will post that campus protest photo over and over, and get more and more racist when it doesn’t have the desired effect of inoculating Bernie from criticism.

They will keep sending him money they can’t spare just to “own the neolibs” and Bernie will laugh all the way to the bank with their $27's in one pocket and the high dollar/PAC checks he claims not to take in the other.

There will be a small dead cat bounce, when the other candidates start kissing Bernie’s ass thinking they can inherit a share of his following. And most will regret their dalliance with socialism. As Andrew Gillum learned, the stink of Bernie does not wash off.

And anyway, complimenting Bernie won’t work. Anyone gettable, anyone who actually cares about policy, is already gone. Bernie’s remaining followers are going down with the ship.

This is obviously Bernie’s last run. Hopefully his movement represents the last vestiges of white supremacy in the Democratic party, and we can finally put that behind us for good.
