Around one in six voters say that a guilty verdict in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial will make them less likely to vote for him, according to a new poll.
Only 1 in 6 voters would change their mind about a convicted fraudster becoming the most powerful person in the country? And only after ANOTHER guilty verdict?
Technically, this would be the first guilty verdict.
The other verdicts were in civil court, so “liable”, not “guilty”. ;)
I still like to pepper in “guilty” every once in a while. Sometimes a little Trumpette will bite and try to correct it to “liable”. I then confirm that they knowingly support someone liable for sexual assault and defend the distinction as if it makes it better.
Not just sexual assault, the judge later corrected that to rape.
“Adjuducated Rapist Donald Trump”. ;)

1/6 voters is enough to swing it. The Texas split was 50-45. 1/6 is about 15%. .85*50=42.5 so (going with the wild assumption that Texas would have split along the same divide) if 1 in every 6 Trump supporters stay home just in Texas because of this it’s the entire election.
Well, one in two weren’t going to vote for him anyways so it’s closer to effectively being one in three which lines up pretty well with the observation that 70% (about 35% on either side) of the electorate are uninformed voters who just vote based on party and don’t really care who the candidate is.

Now, when people vote to try and elect an absolute wankglaze to office, we can be sure that they’re voting for their favorite sports team and will never stop.
But people voting for the least-worse option, how do we know they’re voting for teams and not voting in a marginally-less-horrific platform after careful consideration and a bit of a cry?
I have one team I’ll never vote for because they just keep proving themselves dicks, but I do like to consider the options while I can still convince myself there is a choice between what’s left after that.
I am so jealous of someone who didn’t realize Trump was a complete asshole until now.
Imagine how peaceful their lives are. I bet it feels like walking through thick, warm clouds. You can vaguely see shapes and hear muffled sounds but none of it is important enough to trouble yourself about.
Just a fuzzy, happy brain, floating through the universe.
So jealous.
These kinds of stupid people are usually uneducated and have shit jobs, have failed relationships and marriages, have been disowned by their children and so on.
Don’t be jealous. Ignorance isn’t always as blissful as people make it seem.
Never be jealous of idiocy. It’s literally like watching Idiocracy and being like oh man wouldn’t that be so great,…
Well let’s see if they’re as good as their word.
Goddamn, people in this country are fucking stupid.
look at education, nutrition, news fabrication, religious indoctrination, broken families, etc, i dont really blame the masses themselves.
How is this the straw that breaks the camel’s back?
