"were now less likely to believe Jan. 6 participants were “mostly violent,” less likely to believe Trump bears responsibility for the attack and are slightly less likely to view Joe Biden’s election as legitimate than they were in a December 2021 Post-UMD survey."
authoritarians don't make a distinction between a 'declaration of belief' and a 'declaration of fealty'...It's like reciting the Nicene Creed en mass in church...It's not about ACTUAL 'belief', its about taking an 'official stance' or position...the practice of theology is EXCLUSIVELY about merging the definitions of both to create the kind of semantic wiggle room that theology thrives in...
MAGAs don't believe the things they say they believe in...Like ALL nihilists, they don't believe in ANYTHING least of all the 'truth'
I’m a little off kittiezh right now, because mine woke me up at 3:15AM. However I’ve got exciting news, if no link, about some Insurrection game board they’re bringing out in honor of the anniversary. I think the idea is bound to be a top seller. If you lose, just upend the board and howl “You cheated!”
And a lot of this comes from the "both sides' water carried by mainstream media, to help softpedal the January 6 misdeeds. The usual "telephone game" does the rest.
But...but...but...what about the polls that show that if he is convicted Biden shoots up by 7 points in the general???
Seriously - J6 is going to be a nullity electorally.
Dems and R's are already fixed on this and any "swing voter" who claims to be just waiting for what a jury in a liberal city and likely to be full of Black people says is lying to impress the pollster.
Frankly, J6 is not going to repeat. Meal Team Six knows that prison is now a reality and Trump couldn't muster up even a mini-mob for any of his indictments. It is important to know historically but we have to run on Dobbs and cheap insulin and bridges and jobs.
I not only believe he wouldn't concede if he loses the election, I am pretty sure that should he win, or cheat his way into office despite losing, he'll initiate all the purges of his enemies that he has talked freely about, and any and all other authoritarian shit he can manage. Including likely becoming President for Life.
Actually yes. We adopted 3 new ones due to an emergency request for someone to adopt a momma and 2 of her kittens. If we didn't they were going to end up in a shelter.
We are so very lucky to have found them. They are pure unadulterated sweet innocence.

"Older Americans are slightly more likely than younger ones to say Biden was legitimately elected," Finally the oldz get a break.

Ta, Dok. This must not be. We must outvote them in such overwhelming numbers that they can't even pretend.
"The Great Man?"
More like "The Stinky Seditious Stupidhead."
Does anyone think Trump would concede no matter how convincing his loss was?
Anyone at all?
The only thing that is going to stop him is death or becoming so dementia addled his handlers hide him away like Saint Ronnie
The dementia is already pretty pronounced
Oh good grief Charlie Brown

Welcome to America, 2023.
No one said overthrowing democracy had to be a nonprofit effort.
We are, after all, not Communists!
I want to be a Luxury Kitty Communist

A bunch of sheep. Baaaaaaa

Can't tell you how nice it is to NOT start my day with photographs of evil bastards.
*votes this up*

And chips and solar panels.
She found the House hearings “totally one-sided,
Facts'll do that to you sometimes
All I can say is Merrick Garland was the wrong fucking choice for DOJ.
Thank goodness they are (still!) slow walking on this, even when they had video footage the day after.

Perhaps because there was only one side? JFC! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Reality has a well known liberal bias.

You have my sympathy. Losing three kitties in such a short time must be wrenching. I hope new ones have moved in.
Actually yes. We adopted 3 new ones due to an emergency request for someone to adopt a momma and 2 of her kittens. If we didn't they were going to end up in a shelter.
