I greatly enjoyed this part:
Trump has been angrily venting about one of his lawyers, Todd Blanche, ever since the trial began.
He has griped that Mr. Blanche, a former federal prosecutor and veteran litigator, has not been following his instructions closely, and has been insufficiently aggressive. Mr. Trump wants him to attack witnesses, attack what the former president sees as a hostile jury pool, and attack the judge, Juan M. Merchan.
This headline is stupid and shows how many on the left still don’t understand Trump or his followers. The article goes further:
Here’s the rub: it doesn’t matter. None of this does. Trumps followers believe this regardless of the reality, and the truth doesn’t matter. It never did. For whatever happens, they’ll believe whatever they want.
I’m pretty sure many on the left know quite well that Trump and his followers are all pieces of shit.
If you read the article, you will see that two thirds (so also his voters) take the hush money trial seriously.
His core followers, the ones I’m referring to, are that other third.
Trump support is a spectrum, now an awful chunk will rationalize or dismiss anything. But there are those around the edges of verdant support who can become uneasy as they learn more.
Perhaps you meant “ardent support”? “Verdant” means ‘green’, and is a word you would use to describe a lawn or shrubbery. Perhaps a forest.
Yeah… I think you’re right… well that’s embarrassing
If you’re doin’ perfect, you’re not learning
