They're OK with having a convicted criminal for president. He was a criminal for the entire term.

[-] 0110010001100010@lemmy.world 81 points 5 months ago

He's been a criminal for all of his adult life. He's just rich and white and flew under the radar enough. If he had just fucked off into retirement on some island rather than becoming president (and committing more crimes) you'd probably never hear about him anymore and he could have lived in peace.

They say some people are so poor, all they have is money.

But he got tired of money, he gets off on power and being the prophet of his little cult

Trump can't win with only 58 percent of the Republican vote. He needs somewhere in area of at least 80 - 90 percent. I see this survey result as good news.

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 83 points 5 months ago

Polls don't mean shit. When the time comes, go out and vote!

Surveys are back to trump beating Biden by several points

[-] slurpinderpin@lemmy.world 28 points 5 months ago

The only people answering those sorts of polls are weirdo old people. Which heavily skews towards Crime Boss Donald

[-] InternetUser2012@midwest.social 18 points 5 months ago

According to farmers and rural hickabillies in the countryside of red state usa, Trump has a commanding lead over Biden.

[-] slurpinderpin@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

Polls are also incredibly unreliable this far out in the most unpredictable election the country has seen in recent history.

The opposite of what they said in 2016. That's Republicanism for you. No values or integrity.

So ... Don't drain the swamp?

Well they started drinking the swamp water and realized that they liked the taste of sewage

How often are we going to act surprised that it's a cult, and he is their Fuhrer? This is getting ridiculous, the time for analysis of their side is over. We should long be in the phase of action.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 41 points 5 months ago

They were OK before the ruling too so long as there's an (R) behind the name.

[-] Cosmos7349@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

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.

No surprise. They ended up agreeing that he was guilty of impeachable offenses too, but were okay with it and didn't want him to be kicked out or made non-electable because of them. "One of us", literally.

[-] M500@lemmy.ml 33 points 5 months ago

So they will stop background checks for jobs?

34 Felonies is fine and dandy with the party of law and order. Fucking clowns.

There's this thing called the Overton Window. Republicans are way past that. It's no longer relevant. Whatever their guy does will always be fine while if his opponents do it, it will be the end of all that is good and just.

[-] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 5 months ago

Then they can't claim to be the party of law and order anymore.

Unfortunately they won't need to. They've been playing a different game than the rest of us.

[-] recapitated@lemmy.world 21 points 5 months ago

How soft on crime of them

This should surprise no one. We all know that "rule of law" was just something they meant to be applied to uppity womenz, POC, immigrants, liberals, etc...

Everything the Republicans do is projection. One of the purest forms of "Rules For Thee but Not for Me".

"more swamp for the swamp creatures!"

In groups to protect, outgroups to bind.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
