The recent poll suggesting that a significant number of Republicans are less likely to support Trump after his felony conviction raises important questions about the current state of American politics. As someone who has been closely following the ups and downs of Trump’s presidency, I can’t help but feel a sense of skepticism about the impact of this verdict on his supporters.
While it is encouraging to see that some Republicans are reevaluating their support for Trump in light of his criminal activities, history has shown us that his base is incredibly loyal and unwavering. Despite multiple scandals, controversies, and now a felony conviction, there is a segment of the population that will continue to support him no matter what.… Continue reading
Trump supporters have once again resorted to calling for riots and violent retribution after a verdict that didn’t align with their twisted sense of reality. It’s truly baffling to witness people willing to go to extreme lengths for a man who has done nothing but spew lies and misinformation throughout his entire tenure. What policies, other than those based on falsehoods and deception, are they actually supporting by rallying behind this conman?
The laundry list of despicable actions by Trump is extensive, from his pardons of convicted felons to his blatant lies about COVID, and even his attempts to halt progress on renewable energy.… Continue reading
It’s disheartening to see the results of the Reuters/Ipsos poll indicating that only one in ten Republicans are less likely to vote for Trump after a guilty verdict. This points to a larger issue within the Republican Party, where supporters seem to be turning a blind eye to criminal behavior and unethical conduct. The fact that a convicted felon can still run for President, holding the fate of the nation in his hands, is a stark reminder of the state of our political system.
The alarming trend of blindly following a leader, regardless of their egregious actions, speaks to the deep-rooted division and tribalism within our society.… Continue reading
Trump supporters trying to doxx jurors and posting violent threats after his conviction is a truly despicable and dangerous display of the lengths these individuals will go to defend their idol. The fact that these people are resorting to such extreme measures simply because they do not agree with the outcome of a legal trial is both disturbing and alarming. It should not be tolerated in any civilized society.
The FBI needs to step in swiftly and take action against these individuals who are inciting violence and making threats against innocent jurors. Just as the Secret Service acts quickly when anyone threatens the President, the same level of urgency should be applied in this situation.… Continue reading
It’s truly baffling how the same Trump supporters who were chanting “lock her up” against Hillary Clinton in 2016 are now outraged at the idea of Trump being held accountable for his crimes. The hypocrisy and double standards are glaringly obvious. These supporters seem to live in an alternate reality where facts and accountability hold no weight.
The sheer audacity of calling for riots and violent retribution after a fair and just verdict is beyond comprehension. It’s as if they believe that the rules of law and order don’t apply to them or their dear leader. The lack of respect for the judicial system and the democratic process is truly alarming.… Continue reading
I have been closely following the recent events surrounding the Texas Republicans’ reactions to the House Speaker win and the claims of a stolen election. What strikes me the most is the constant victim mentality and refusal to accept defeat gracefully within the party. The allegations of election theft and cries of foul play are becoming all too common amongst the GOP, especially in cases where their preferred candidate does not emerge victorious.
The idea that Dade Phelan, a fellow Republican, relied on Democrats’ votes to secure his win in the Republican runoff is being painted as a scandal, with claims that the election was stolen.… Continue reading
Ken Burns’ recent warning about Trump has once again sparked outrage among the MAGA crowd. But let’s be real, when are they not outraged about something? It seems that any mention of Trump in a negative light immediately triggers a wave of anger and discontent among his supporters. In this case, Burns, a respected scholar of history and esteemed filmmaker, did not hold back in expressing his concerns about the current political climate.
Burns’ warning about the dangers of re-electing Trump should not come as a surprise to anyone paying attention. He aptly described Trump as the “opioid of all opioids,” an easy but destructive solution to our problems.… Continue reading
As I reflect on the recent news that Donald Trump was rejected by Libertarians and received less than 1% of the vote for the party’s presidential nominee, I can’t help but feel a sense of vindication. To see a group of individuals, who typically prioritize economic issues over social ones, united in their refusal to support Trump is truly telling of the current political landscape.
I find it both amusing and gratifying that Trump, the presumptive Republican Party presidential candidate, barely made a blip on the radar of Libertarians. His attempts to appeal to this demographic, despite their clear opposition to him, only further solidifies the notion that his divisive rhetoric and authoritarian tendencies are not well-received by all.… Continue reading
I sat back and watched in awe as the reports flooded in about Donald Trump being booed and heckled by a raucous crowd at the Libertarian convention. The irony of the situation was not lost on me – a man who prides himself on being a dominant figure in the political arena, facing rejection and disdain from a group that values freedom of choice and expression above all else.
As I delved deeper into the reactions of the crowd, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction at seeing Trump rattled and visibly upset by the reception he received. It was a stark reminder that his attempts to infiltrate the libertarian vote were met with resistance and disapproval, showcasing his dwindling popularity and desperate tactics.… Continue reading
Mike Johnson’s recent decision to fly the same Christian nationalist flag outside his office that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito flew at his vacation home speaks volumes about the dangerous infiltration of fundamentalist beliefs into positions of power in our government. The concept of Christian nationalism, where one’s religious beliefs are intertwined with their political ideals, is not only concerning but also goes against the very principles of the separation of church and state that our country was founded upon.
As Susan B. Anthony aptly stated, there is a deep distrust for those who claim to know the will of God and use it as a justification for their actions.… Continue reading
