    No Republicans should have supported the actions those Rioters did last Wednesday.

    You just have to go to gab.com. It makes you eyes bleed. The newest mantra isn't just "we wuz robbed", but also that they were setup by Antifa on Wednesday. They blame Wed on the Dems, so they can continue with their Trump worship.

    In a fantasy world - you can create whatever fraudulent reality that you want.

    They seem to feed off of disinformation. Hence the popularity of QAnon and Alex Jones with them :)

    The cancer of Trumpism will be difficult to eradicate. You know NAZIsm has not been completely eradicated from Germany it exists under other names. Just as Communism is not in it's grave in Russiastan.

    Trumpism is a vile insidious cancer that affects the mind it will not go down easy. We have a lot of work to do in saving our democracy and restoring our country's viability.

    Yes it is as if the worse of a stench the pro Trump Turd source makes be it a Network ( Fox for example) or a humanoid ( example Shaun Vannity) the more the Trumpists will believe the lie. It is as if their diet consists of lying Turds.

    No, I quoted the ACTUAL QUESTION that was asked in the survey and then showed the response. It SPECIFICALLY referred to the storming of the Capitol building and not the wider protest. You would know this if you clicked on the link & read the detail there, but I get that reading is hard so I'll quote it again for you:

    This is what people were asked. There is NO ambiguity in this. That 45% supported the storming of the Capitol and no amount of deflection & disinformation can change that. The hatred here is on your side and it is hatred for democracy. A solid plurality of Republicans no longer accept the results of elections they lose and this mob simply reflected that.

    Maybe you should stick to quibbling about the accuracy of the 45% figure. Perhaps a 'this is just one poll' or even the good old 'polls are all biased' line. At least that can't be disproved by just reading the post you responded to.

    Georgia did two recounts and there were recounts in large Wisconsin counties. Trumpers just ignored this and demanded votes they didn't like be thrown out. There is literally nothing short of overturning the entire result that they will find acceptable....but you know this already.

    Wait, I thought the Trump supporters were FORCED into the building by Antifa dressed as cops. Shouldn't it be kidnapping?

    The reality is you have no authority on the polls :)

    Seems they have turned wretched with the change in political power and their only way to deal with it, is to make up stories.

    So, if we believe the stories on right wing news, these 45% of Republicans are approving of Antifa storming the Capitol Building? It's hilarious watching the roller coaster of bat-crap crazy coming out of the conspiracy crowd. They are being led one way and then the next.

    A Marist poll has come out. Perhaps letting the the events set in a bit with more info about the violence has changed some minds:

    Perhaps the knowledge that a cop was killed has changed a few minds. Maybe it was the identification of extremists in the mob. maybe both. Hopefully this is a more accurate representation of Republican sentiment. Having 18% supporting is still not great, but its much better than 45% and it has 80% opposed.

    I do notice that only 30% think Trump carries much of the blame, but I suppose we can't have everything.

    That would explain the guy carrying the cable ties. Clearly he was going to truss up Trump supporters & drag them into the Capitol.

    Oh, and the people with tasers. Bet they were gonna stun them some Trumpers, drag them into the Capitol & then make it look like they broke in. Those guys probably killed that cop & pushed that woman who got shot through the window. Damn those ANTIFAs is tricky.

    Five dead is NOT a “peaceful protest”

    I love how many people believe that we can’t love Trump because we hate him too much and yet still believe Trump won the popular. Vote

    which is it? People hate Trumps guts on toast and would not vote for him if he were the only candidate on the ballot or everybody love him and the democrats hid that by stealing the election
