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.

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.

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.

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.

Intelligent pragmatists aren’t too well represented in the Fox News demographic

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.

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!
