That's because his supporters worship him as a new messiah and cannot conceive of him having actually committed a crime. Or they don't care if he did or not.

They don't care if he did. I'd argue most of his supporters in the party (Mike Johnson for example) know that he is a horrible person but will support him because he has energized a dormant portion of the voting population that can help them to gain and hold power. Trump himself isn't even that bad, he's a useful idiot who gives immense power to far right organizations like the heritage foundation.

They view him as an imperfect tool of the lord

[-] gdog05@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

He's a tool alright

Can we use fire again to put down the rebellion, pretty please?

Yeah. If the messiah did it then it must be ok so it's the court that's wrong.
