I think we fous on the crazies too much. The videos of weirdo cult members saying eh could do anything and they'd still vote for him. 41% is a devastating number for him, and it's only going to shrink. When 59% of the people you need to vote for you think you're guilty of something, you're doomed.

It was always going to be drip by drip. I get it, 41% thinking he did nothing wrong is still an insanely high number, and there are cult members. But I do think the cult will only keep that number at about 20% by the end of this year.

1. Since I started posting attention to statistics like this (when W was president),

There has always been about 30% who will support ANY Republican president no matter what. I'm sure there's similar on our side as well but our leaders are rarely this egregious.

2. Think about that.

41% of republican voters can look at the mountain of corruption and call it honor. That's horrifying.

17. And those are the only ones we ever hear about

59% of them are at least semi sane. Where are their interviews at?

And Trump needs just about 100% of these voters, not 41%, not even 75%. Sure, some will know he's guilty and vote for him anyway, but this is moving.

The 41% who think he did nothing wrong was 50% a month ago in this poll.

3. But what % think "so what if he broke the law-- they're all crooked"?

4. White Supremacy and Christian Nationalism have dominated America for a long, long time.

5. What I wonder is

What portion of the remaining 59% would still vote for him or even be more inclined to vote for him.

6. "Only" 41%? That's astonishingly freightning.

9. How about 41% of REMAINING Repugs

Some are dead from COVID.
Some test the heat.
Others cannot tolerate the evil anymore.

11. However we slice it, its just too many people that have lost touch with reality.

7. I was thinking the same thing when I saw the title of the thread. Having that many

armed lunatics is worse than Russia in 1917 when Lenin took the country, not from the czars but from a moderate government and Adolph took Germany in the '30s.

It doesn't take many to terrorize the population into submission especially when the police and military have lots of maggots.

8. How many think he did something wrong but it doesn't matter?

Add that to the 41%.

12. The others know he's a criminal but they're proud of it.

13. I would bet that most of the Republican primary voters are in the 41%.

15. This.

16. When Nixon resigned,

29% of those who vote, thought he did nothing wrong.

18. The real question is not how many believe it, but how many go along with it.

How many will still vote for Trump even though they agree he did wrong things, because they hate Democrats so much and believe we've done worse?

I wonder what percentage of Republicans would agree with the statement "Most scandals in the news about Democratic figures over the last 30 years were puffed-up horseshit, mere accusations, easily repeatable on radio and other media, but with no evidence capable of standing up to scrutiny in an actual courtroom?"

19. How many times have we heard " But, I'll still vote for him "?
