Americans have a high tolerance for scandal-plagued candidates. Especially Trump's MAGA base, our new poll found. Two-thirds of self-identified MAGA Trump voters say they would continue supporting a GOP candidate accused of sexual assault. politi.co/4g0TeHs

"Seventy-two percent of MAGA Trump voters say they would stick with a GOP candidate accused of domestic violence, more than 10 percentage points higher than the overall share of Trump 2024 voters who would back a GOP candidate (61 percent).

Thirty-nine percent of Harris voters say they'd stick with a Democrat accused of domestic violence."

Dems are bad enough, but Republicans, especially MAGA Trumpers (the vast majority other Republicans are all Trumpers, too) are obscenely propagandized.

Joe Goebbels would indeed be proud of these Nazis.

btw... lest Trumpers forget:

"Core Ideology Nazi beliefs were anchored in absolute dictatorship and radical biological determinism, outlined in Hitler's 1925 manifesto Mein Kampf:

Racial Hierarchy: The belief that Nordic "Aryans" were a superior master race entitled to rule the world.

Antisemitism: Viewing Jewish people not just as a religious group, but as a dangerous "anti-race" and biological threat to humanity.

Lebensraum: The foreign policy goal to violently conquer eastern Europe to secure "living space" for the German population.

Anti-Democracy: Complete rejection of liberal democracy in favor of the Fhrerprinzip (Leader Principle), demanding absolute obedience to Hitler.

Anti-Communism: A fierce hostility toward Marxism, which they falsely linked to a global Jewish conspiracy."

Yup.

I know a US Marine who got out of the service just before the Beirut bombing.

I asked how he could like Dummkopf Trumpf and vote for him.

"MO" replied he didn't like Trumpf, but liked his positions (xenophobia, anti-welfare queens, anti-migrants, fight the Muslim takeover of Amerikkka, anti-abortion).

There you go.

And "MO" has a serious heart condition. I hope this +70 fellow has excellent medical insurance.

And here Trump is cutting Medicaid Insurance for the same poor Red Staters.

It's just possible that if they ever figure out how hard they are being screwed, they might just all turn on DJT the way MTG and Alex Jones have.

Ok, I'm dreaming.

Of course, they're the bottom of our societal barrel. They're degenerates with zero morals, values or character beyond what they need to do to get what they want.

MAGA voters and DSA voters will tell you third party votes are wasted.

Not if a third party wins.

If people are concerned about the future if the US, a third party against these two ideologies should win.

We need to abolish the single lever from the ballot and add a blank line for every position on a ballot.

Its interesting to me, the US democracy is about geographic representation, and not idea representation. Seems like, in this way the British system is better, IMHO.

Because the other side would do the same.

The 17th amendment makes no sense to me. The Senators came via the State Legislature, not the voters like the House.

The State had input within Congress. It could use its own representative to stop the House, negotiate with the House, and certainly wouldn't pass laws damning the States to Federal servitude.

Never understood why the States surrendered the Senate, especially the smaller States.

It would be like the House of Lords surrendering their authority to a public vote for a commoner.

Before the 17th, industries chose U.S. senators, who were beholden to them, specifically, not the people.

They even had nicknames like Sen. Steel, Sen. Railroads, Sen. Oil, etc etc.

Direct elections gave people the power to choose their senators.

If MAGA voters get all their info from their echo chamber(Fox, OAN, etc) and the echo chamber doesn't cover the disasters, what were you expecting?

The Republicans are all out for themselves?

Fake patriots with fake values leading fake lives?
