If this has been posted a billion times already, my apologies.
We all know the Dictator-wannabe's cultists won't care. The Republican hard-core voters won't care.
How about independents ? How about those who usually lean Republican ?
My fervent hope is that independents and the "mushy middle" persuadables will see this as it really is,
a complete and total perversion of justice and the Constitution, and vote for the Democratic nominee in
November.
I also hope that a very significant percentage of usual Republican voters see this also, and vote Democratic.
I will go very deep into despair if the Dictator-wannabe wins again.
Thanks for your time, as always.

40-45% of America loves him and wants him acquitted. Unfortunately this group has a majority of seats in the Senate and 20 Senators will not move to convict him.

There is still a complete denial among the press/ media and many others about the fact that fascism has taken over this government. It is a shock to see what is going down on a daily basis the past 3-4 years.

(15,548 posts)There are more independents than Republicans, and I dont think most of them, if Trump is acquitted, will shrug and say well, I guess he didnt do anything wrong then.
An acquittal could work in Dems favor, especially if it comes after new evidence and testimony is introduced.
