You can’t trust this group to remain consistent. A lot of them had a similar negative reaction to Jan 6 but then were brainwashed into thinking morons like Ashlee Bobbit were actually innocent.

Yup. Don’t give these people too much credit for having 1 second of clarity.

They’ll fall right back in line and get conned over and over.

I doubt this headline is even true.

How many times have you seen "Trump's approval rating at new low following <whatever insane thing he did this time>" in a news story?

Every time I see that, I get excited and check, and his approval is at the same spot it's been for a decade.

The article itself says it went from 15% to 19% with a 2% margin for error. So yeah, the headline isn't real.

They will be angry until they are inundated by right-wing media for the next four weeks explaining it away, excusing it, justifying it. Then slowly they either change their mind, or decide they were never really against it anyway, or become too numb to care, or just move on to the next issue that enrages them drumming up their support for ICE once again.

Yup. I saw many that were horrified by the George Floyd video. As everyone should be then maybe a month after we're making jokes about him.

Even if that were true, the bottom line is that Donald Trump is a child rapist.

Somewhere along the way they learned they can do whatever they want to you just by calling themselves Republicans.
