The Republican Party is a cult. Is there any evidence contrary at this point?!?!

    Can we let them all go to prison with Sweet Potato Jesus. I still think with the right combo of refreshments at trump rallies we might all consider him a hero like the pied piper who took all the right wing crazies to jonestown where they belong.

    Not to defend the Republican base, but that screencap doesn't pass the smell test. 63% seems exceedingly low for friends & family for one thing.

    CBS have the details here including a more detailed breakdown of the questions and responses. Maybe I'm missing something but I can't for the life of me see how they derived the figures that they put on screen. This is the data on Trump. Where does the 71% come from?

    I cannot be entirely sure, but it seems their margin of error seems to be derived from non-respondents and not derived from possible deviant from results over a correlated history of multiple poll sets. That would seem to be a very problematic way of defining the margin of error. You can't just take the non-responders and make them your error margin if that is what these individual polls are doing to get their margin of error.

    Tell us you do not know how the eyes work without telling us you do not know how the eyes work.

    Dumbasses at the paintball field used to always say they did not have to wear goggles when no one was shooting at them. I would always explain no one was ever supposed to shoot at me, and there was no reason to waste ammo on a ref, but I was always wearing my goggles. I am the one who works on the field every day and sees what you don't. Your assumptions just show your lack of knowledge about how things actually work.

    They must be confident that no business will actually go before them with the receipts that Truth social has a shit market share being a bubble organization composed mostly of bots that kicks most people off. It is not even a great place to advertise for Trump. Unless you are marketing Ivermectin or Trump sneakers and bibles truth social is at the bottom of the list for ad spending because their market share sucks, and it overlaps with other places.
