The jury’s verdict is the first time a former president has been convicted of a crime.

    Alright, cards on the table, I’m not a conservative. I’m just curious.

    I imagine this really doesn’t change anything for those of you who were already planning to vote for Trump, is that accurate?

      I peaked over at reddits conservative… And this verdict has not only not dissuaded them… But has emboldened them. This “proves” we are in a Banana Republic and that the system is against trump

          I was going to vote for him anyways. It’s very obvious some of these misdemeanors were upgraded to felonies only because he’s Trump.

            do you find that as a representative of Family Values™ his affair with Stormy Daniels sets a good example for the families of our bestest nation and that his Competent Leadership™ of committing business fraud to cover it up makes him a trustworthy leader?

              This doesn’t rank high in my priorities. You’ll need to ask an actual conservative - Trump and I aren’t conservatives.

              Though, I’m thinking you’re a bad faith jackass looking through your comments and the sarcastic approach to your questioning.

              Are you really out here trying to own the MAGAs? Lmao

                That’s a lot of words to not answer either question. You don’t have to be conservative to have some opinion on families and I would imagine anyone voting for somebody would be able to answer why they think their candidate was competent.

                  That’s a lot of words to not answer either question.

                  I explained why. And you’re not asking in good faith either.

                  I would imagine anyone voting for somebody would be able to answer why they think their candidate was competent.

                  People vote on certain issues and the ones you mentioned aren’t interesting to me. And competency is only your opinion. You hate people who are voting for Trump so why are you pretending like you really care to know the answers to these questions?

      I’m happy Trump is convicted. I don’t like how you’re using mental illness as an insult.

        Sure sounds like I’m important or something. I’m honoured that you place my inconsequential comment on the same weight as the Trump news.

        Or is it rather that you don’t feel strongly about the Trump news? This is pretty indicative, gotta say.

          I didn’t say I felt the two things with equal magnitude. But also, I’m not sure what difference Trump’s conviction makes. He can still run for president, right?

        Maybe you should rename your account to GardenVarietyEscapism ? 🤔

        Surely you wouldn’t downvote confirmed facts from a trustworthy source because they hurt your feelings… right?

          Maybe you shouldn’t link to a mental disorder to insult people.

          1. Mental health is like any other health issues. People struggle with it every day.
          2. You are not a psychiatrist and you are further stygmatizing an already badly accepted topic in our society.

          Shame on you.

            This is about people who are in denial. Are you in denial? If not, you’re not applicable for the comment I wrote.

            If so, then get some help.
