I overheard my relatives today saying how dare they convict him of anything when our corrupt president hasn't been charged with anything.
I really wanted to remind them that before they sold their soul to Trump they wanted every politician to be arrested and tried. Suddenly a politician is tried and they have second thoughts...
Admitting you were wrong is like really, really, really hard man. Takes a grown ass man to admit to one's mistakes. But here we are, a bunch of manchildren and people who have drunk the cool aid and are beyond reasoning.
Don't do the Koo-Aiid man wrong!
And it was Flavor Aid anyway. Kool-Aid did nothing wrong.
That's so weird, because I am saying mean things about them, like, all the time.
The lady in the article said she might change her mind about voting for him if he was convicted of election interference. Like he just was, mean not exactly but the reason it was a felony was due to the election campaign. Least if I understood correctly, otherwise they'd have been misdemeanors. Or something like that anyways.
Presumably there is the sort of person who doesn't trust the news but does trust the justice system ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There are definitely many people out there who will change their vote based solely on today’s outcome. How important an effect this will have remains to be seen.
People rarely change their minds on politics all of a sudden because they have new information. This shit goes deep. At best they'll slowly figure it out in a way that makes them feel smart.
When people are this far into a cult of personality, it's not a court ruling in their imaginary conspiracy-filed world that would change a thing.
