There's nothing to believe or not believe. This is pure fact. Donald Trump is now a convicted felon

34 time felon. The "christian" party of law and order is going to have a lot to answer for voting for a cheating husband, lier, and now a felon x34. Just to name enough that if it was a Democrat the republikkklows would have pitch forks and fire ready while losing their fucking minds.

His supporters already believe he's innocent, and literally nothing will change their minds (if anything would, it would have happened already). The man could start carrying around a pitchfork and surgically implant horns and people would continue in their delusion.

My main hope from all of this is that he sees jail time, and is less able to campaign. Getting him out of the news is probably the best thing for the country.

That's why I enjoy arguing with them that he's literally the antichrist / false prophet.

What's 34 more pieces of information for them to ignore on top of the mountain that's already there?

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

He is an exemplary christian.

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

My thoughts exactly.

[-] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

This changes nothing, they will still vote for him.

Progressives had better get their guns now before the Christian Fascists get into power.

Good luck with the civil war.

Exactly. Even if he gets an appeal, even if he wins such an appeal, even if his sentence gets commuted or otherwise obstructed or diluted, we can truthfully refer to him forever and always as a convicted felon on 34 counts.
