A new Politico-Ipsos poll Tuesday showed Americans’ perception of former President Donald Trump’s criminal cases, with a notable shift among independents.
The poll, based on responses from 1,024 adults in the general U.S. population, found that about half of Americans believe that Trump is guilty in each of the four criminal cases he is facing: the Manhattan “hush money” case, the Mar-a-Lago documents case, the Georgia election interference case and the federal election interference case. Ipsos noted in its reports that the numbers are fairly steady compared to a similar poll from August 2023, conducted shortly after the most recent of the four indictments was brought.
Also steady were the results along party lines for Democrats and Republicans. Among respondents, those who identified as Democrats heavily favored the belief that Trump is guilty, ranging between 86 percent and 87 percent for each case. Republicans, conversely, favored the belief that Trump is not guilty, though to a less pronounced degree, between 60 percent and 67 percent for each case.
Would have been able to spin it? For sure! There is no bottom with these folks. Given their druthers they will eventually recreate the holocaust. They deserve no benefit of the doubt. Problem with the left is positive projection. Because we could never be that evil we assume others cant as well.
Speak for yourself, I could be plenty evil if I had the ability. Hell if I had a nuke id be at an impass of whether to glass Moscow or Salt lake city. My reasoning being blowing up Moscow would fuck up Russia and maybe get them to stop invading people and blowing up Salt lake city would piss off the Mormons.
Every day I’m on lemmy I get less convinced about the merits of democracy.
And statistically this hive of scum and villainy should be above average in wisdom.
…A leftist person saying the left can’t be evil is either stupid, a liar, or possibly both if he thinks anyone believes that.
The modern left can’t be evil. Its most radical elements are too far removed from power. We are in no danger of a Maoist purge any time soon.
What a person or philosophy is, still is, whether or not it has the ability.
