To understand the state of #USPolitics, and US society more broadly, a person has to realize that the process against #Trump isn’t merely two camps who want the guy found innocent or guilty after a weighing of the evidence.
No, it is as if there was a murder trial where one side believed they were having beers with the purported victim as the trial was going on.
It’s not a matter of legal technicality or weighing preponderances of evidence or reasonable doubt; it’s a matter of the country being divided over fundamental fact, here whether a person is alive or not.
It’s not a political division. Sadly it’s a reality division.
MAGA supporters don’t actually believe that the election was stolen. They never did. Look at the testimony in the Fox case. They admitted that the whole thing was just a ruse.
Nobody believes the election was stolen. They are just lying about it as a tactic to overthrow democracy.
They all know that Trump is a crook and they don’t care. And they are willing to lie about anything – absolutely anything – in order to eliminate democracy and install him as an autocrat.
There is no difference in belief about facts. There is a difference in belief about the value of truth and democracy.
@Pat sounds like you have not talked to a lot of MAGA folks.
I have. I know quite a few of them personally.
Your claims here aren’t in line with the discussions I’ve had with them, and honestly just sound like you are promoting negative stereotypes.
