Donald Trump faces four indictments, 91 criminal charges and hundreds of years of maximum prison time combined.
This is a former president who — according to the latest grand jury indictment in Fulton County, Georgia — participated in a “criminal enterprise.” Trump and 18 co-defendants are accused of trying “to unlawfully change the outcome of the election” in 2020. Among the 13 felony charges he faces is one count of violating the Georgia RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act and two counts of conspiracy to commit forgery.
Most of those charges are related to a fake elector scheme by the Trump campaign in which a slate of “alternate” electors in Georgia would cast electoral votes for Trump instead of Joe Biden. The president of the most powerful democracy in the world allegedly tried to steal an election.
We can’t say it often enough: This is serious. Americans cannot shrug this off or normalize it, no matter how many times Trump gets indicted. Yet it feels like business as usual. Not only is Trump favored to win the GOP presidential nomination, he’s also neck and neck with President Biden in the 2024 general election, according to a July poll by the New York Times/Siena Poll.
MORE THAN A CULT
Trump’s support cannot only be explained as the product of the cult-like power he has over his MAGA base, which accounts for roughly 40% of Republican voters who believe those indictments are nothing but a conspiracy against him.

Ehhhhh, not really. Biden increased funding to the police, remilitarized Somalia and hadent ended concentration camps for migrants. Biden’s one good thing was pulling out of Afganistan
Biden also allowed Covid to run wild and ended the state of emergency
Ah, the “neither side is the ideal option so just vote for Trump” angle. Not sure what your point is unless you’re pro-Trump. Is Biden the ideal candidate? No, but here in reality where the options are Trump or Biden, there really isn’t a valid argument where anyone left of alt-right wouldn’t vote for Biden.
I didn’t say vote for Trump. I said dont vote. I’ve seen no evidence that Biden was any different than Trump so far. They both have been awful
Abstaining from voting is basically giving Trump the win, ergo it is a vote for Trump. Again, either these are ignorant comments or you’re just a troll.
Not really. Abstaining from a vote is abstaining. It’s not providing a vote to anyone. If the Democrats ran better people, I would say, yes, vote for them. But with Biden, that’s not the case
