Three out of four Americans — including 60% of Republicans — say the Trump administration’s use of a Signal group chat to discuss military strikes is a serious problem, according to the first poll out on the national security breach.
For now.
They used to think January 6 was bad too.
When George Floyd was murdered, they spent fifteen minutes thinking it was bad, until action was requested. Then he suddenly deserved it and always deserved it.
Is it serious enough to take actual, decisive action to hold anyone in the Trump administration accountable?
“Oh, no no no. Now let’s not get too crazy here. All we want to do is hold hearings so we can decide how to blame Signal for all of this and maybe get a couple of unrelated brown people deported. Nobody’s talking crazy talk like holding Trump accountable or anything.”
“After a comprehensive investigation, we have decided that justice would be best served by executing the reporter for doing his job. Problem solved. Send money. Or else.”
Yep.
Doesn’t matter though.
In their minds not voting “R” is the worst possible thing that could happen in existence. Trump could individually rape and murder all their children and they’d still show up and vote “R” because the alternative is somehow worse. They can’t explain how it’s worse, but it is, somehow.
Conservatives can express discontent, or even outrage, toward their representatives, but they have ZERO interest in holding their own accountable.
Because it’s a cult.
HitlerPig might rape and murder their children, but they think the Dems would rape and murder their children, and then eat them. So Republicans are better.
Or maybe, y’know, don’t elect rapists/murderous/cannibals of any kind.
-gate is the suffix for scandals.
-a-Lago is the suffix for stupid scandals.
This one should be called Sig-na-Lago.
I knew it was bad when the general consensus on the sycophantic subreddit r/conservative also held the opinion that these people should be held accountable. How terrible do you have to be to piss off your own loyalists? This timeline does not even feel real sometimes
The conservatives themselves lag behind on real news. It takes a few days for their leaders to unite around their own narrative and to change the cycle. Just wait, the peons will start agreeing that it’s fake news shortly. Just like Russian interference and the perfect Ukraine call.
That’s just the initial knee jerk reaction (based on their actual personal beliefs) before the Conservative Propaganda Machine tells them what to believe.
Eh.
They can SAY it’s unacceptable and someone should be held accountable.
But they won’t hold anyone with an “R” next to their name accountable at the polls. Or in any other significant way.
They won’t do anything about it so why even listen to them?
