"I remained a Republican until Jan. 6. And then I watched to see how the Republican Party would respond to the events that occurred," Lunt said. "And I wasn't pleased with that. And so I became an independent."

At least one person was able to see through the bullshit.

You mean after the infidelity and after the porn star scandal? Please. They pick the ideals they want to care about.

[–] Alto@kbin.social 67 points 7 months ago (2 children)

To be entirely fair, I'd say attempting a coup is a couple orders of magnitude worse than sex scandals.

1/3 of America is still thinking about it .... that alone is a worrying state of the country's mentality

[–] Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but the blatant racism, homophobia, and corruption was fine and dandy

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

It's America 🤷

??

Doesn't everyone pick their ideals to care about?

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 4 points 7 months ago

I think they meant how people will say they have a bunch of ideals, and only choose to act on a convenient subset.

Like how Republicans will say they're for family values, but won't do anything about that when it's inconvenient.

What endgame would you like to see for current (or past) Trump supporters? Because while I agree that it should have been obvious that Trump was bad for the country well before Jan 6, there is still a significant portion of the population that either didn't care up to that point or still doesn't care. If you think that is unforgivable, then what do you expect them to do if they become disillusioned with Trump and when the GOP is headed in general?
