I just can't even with this.

About 24 percent of polled Republicans say the charges in the classified documents investigation make them more likely to support Trump, while 21 percent said the same with regard to the 34-count indictment related to falsified business records in a Manhattan court case.

This is why we can't have nice things

Based on the ‘Pubs I know, I have no difficulty believing that at least 24% of them are this fucking stupid. It’s kind of their defining characteristic.

I think it's that combined with a complete aversion to accountability. The last thing horrible people want is to be held accountable for their behaviour.

So, 25% of 19% of the US population.
Or, just over 15M people out of 332M are saying this.
Or, to put it another way: 317M people are not saying this.
Or to put it another way: VOTE IN EVERY ELECTION, EVERY TIME IF YOU WANT THE WORLD TO GET BETTER

Edit: because it was pointed out I wrote B instead of M. - Thanks!

I appreciate you putting that context on it, but it's millions, not billiions.

A quarter of the population have zero understanding of the law so that tracks.

A quarter of a third.

If they don't prosecute him, then he's innocent.

If they prosecute him, then it's a corrupt DOJ.

Pretty much this.

Fantastic! Split that minority vote even more! I love it when the trash takes itself out!

Thanks to these braindead individuals having an ideology even slightly to the right is now viewed as dangerous and retarded.

And I get why...

Mostly because being slightly to the right in the US is too far right to reasonable people, and is indeed dangerous and retarded.

And if he becomes the nominee, he will be supported by 100% of gop voters

[-] Xariphon@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

But, y'know, "party of the Constitution" or some bullshit.

Cultists. Absolute. Fucking. Cultists.

[-] solidgrue@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Its treason weasels all the way down. Ugh.
