Since the conviction, Republicans' views have shifted in a way that puts the guilty verdict in a more favorable light and keeps Trump's candidacy viable.
You're viewing a single thread.
They were OK before the ruling too so long as there's an (R) behind the name.
Trying to find it again, but I had seen a set of polls earlier where they had asked some republicans "Would you be ok with a convicted felon as president?" and other republicans "would you be ok with Trump as president if he were a convicted felon?", and the ones asked the Trump version had said yes at a much higher rate than the generic question.
They do this for everything, actually. Repubs have no values other than whatever currently benefits their in group.
That's one thing that drives me fucking crazy, voters let that single letter define if they support policy or hate it. If trump had done and said everything he's done over the last several years but had a (D) they would hate him. And vice versa.
It's not a bipartisan issue. Democrats do not have the same slavish adoration for their leaders that Republicans do.
I'm a Democrat and I have a Sexy Shirtless Photo of Genocide Joe Biden on my wall!
They are actually claiming that genocide is the lesser evil, yes, they do have a slavish adoration for their leaders
Al Franken quit. Bob Menendez is facing trial. Rod Blagojevich was convicted. Wiener and Cuomo were shamed from office
Jim Jordan is still there. Matt Gaetz is still there. It took comic-book levels of evil to turf Santos.
And then we have Trump.
So no, being critical of your own team isn’t bipartisan. It may have been at one time, but that’s at least thirty years ago.
You're a god damned idiot if you don't think there would be at least as much genocide under Trump.
I'm not claiming there wouldn't be but right now that is speculation, right now. Biden is actively engaging in it
Another voice calling you out on this bullshit.
Team Blue has kicked and will kick members out who give the party a bad name. Hell, they'll kick 'em out before the conviction. That doesn't happen with Republicans, with only Santos (gee, Hispanic name, I wonder why) facing the music for his bullshit in all of the GQP.
Fuck this Both Sides bullshit. It's not true, and we shouldn't stand for it.
They kick Henry Cuellar, pro life under federal investigation. They didn't kick Menendez currently under indictment. They didn't kick pro life Pelosi.
