    They’re torn. The intelligent pragmatists don’t want a repeat of the 2020 election. The emotional loyalists are doing that thing where you consider loyalty to be a pretty high virtue all on its own, and thus don’t abandon your boy when he runs into trouble, regardless of how much it may or may not be deserved.

    You could consider, if he was a family member, or if you were all members of the same mafia, would you turn on him or stick around and watch his back when he starts getting into trouble?

      That poll probably fucked with. That our Fox viewers and fucking morons. Most likely Fox has all it’s viewers blind to the crimes that he has committed and they watch nothing else.

        From the Fox (and Newsmax) news I’m exposed to, there were zero mentions of Trump indictments that weren’t tinged with “corrupt FBI” sentiment over the last 2 weeks.

        It’s been wall to wall Hunter tax evasion bullshit.

          I am not the biggest Biden supporter but that Hunter stuff has made me support him more. If this is all they got on a man who has been in office longer than I have been alive that is pretty freaken impressive. Positive if I held high office for a fraction of that time I would have made way more mistakes.

          Oh wow his son is a screw up. Big wow. I didn’t vote for his son.

          Just like Clinton and the blowjob. Clinton and Benghazi. It is a nothingburger the far right is trying to push and waste taxpayer money on.

      Your point is taken. There was a local leader in my area that was R but soft-R and again local leader. When Trump won the primary he sent out an email to me and I guess everyone else on his list basically saying that it was our duty to support him.

      I told him that it was his duty not mine and I vote how I choose. Wish I had said something more witty.

      I doubt this describes most Fox News viewers. I suspect a majority of them fall into a third category of “blind believers”. Fox News tells them the indictments are a sham, they believe it’s a sham. Especially when it’s sandwiched between two things that make them angry.

        You’d be surprised how few of them actually are brainwashed enough not to realize the flow they’re going with is pretty dark. They just tend to think the world itself is dark, and is supposed to be dark. So things like cheating and corruption are signs of health, not bad things.

        They’re very backwards in some ways. Good is bad, bad is good.
