They're OK with having a convicted criminal for president. He was a criminal for the entire term.
He's been a criminal for all of his adult life. He's just rich and white and flew under the radar enough. If he had just fucked off into retirement on some island rather than becoming president (and committing more crimes) you'd probably never hear about him anymore and he could have lived in peace.
They say some people are so poor, all they have is money.
But he got tired of money, he gets off on power and being the prophet of his little cult

Trump can't win with only 58 percent of the Republican vote. He needs somewhere in area of at least 80 - 90 percent. I see this survey result as good news.
Surveys are back to trump beating Biden by several points
The only people answering those sorts of polls are weirdo old people. Which heavily skews towards Crime Boss Donald
According to farmers and rural hickabillies in the countryside of red state usa, Trump has a commanding lead over Biden.

Polls are also incredibly unreliable this far out in the most unpredictable election the country has seen in recent history.

The opposite of what they said in 2016. That's Republicanism for you. No values or integrity.

Well they started drinking the swamp water and realized that they liked the taste of sewage

How often are we going to act surprised that it's a cult, and he is their Fuhrer? This is getting ridiculous, the time for analysis of their side is over. We should long be in the phase of action.
They were OK before the ruling too so long as there's an (R) behind the name.
Trying to find it again, but I had seen a set of polls earlier where they had asked some republicans "Would you be ok with a convicted felon as president?" and other republicans "would you be ok with Trump as president if he were a convicted felon?", and the ones asked the Trump version had said yes at a much higher rate than the generic question.

No surprise. They ended up agreeing that he was guilty of impeachable offenses too, but were okay with it and didn't want him to be kicked out or made non-electable because of them. "One of us", literally.
So they will stop background checks for jobs?
34 Felonies is fine and dandy with the party of law and order. Fucking clowns.
They are completely blinded by this guy.
There's this thing called the Overton Window. Republicans are way past that. It's no longer relevant. Whatever their guy does will always be fine while if his opponents do it, it will be the end of all that is good and just.
Then they can't claim to be the party of law and order anymore.
Unfortunately they won't need to. They've been playing a different game than the rest of us.
How soft on crime of them
This should surprise no one. We all know that "rule of law" was just something they meant to be applied to uppity womenz, POC, immigrants, liberals, etc...
Everything the Republicans do is projection. One of the purest forms of "Rules For Thee but Not for Me".
"more swamp for the swamp creatures!"
In groups to protect, outgroups to bind.
