The reason this is so much more common among Republicans than democrats, is that to be a democrat without morals makes little sense, but to be a Republican it's a requirement to be without morals.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yep, that was my concern with all the people recusing themselves from the jury from one of trumps cases. Democrats would admit to being biased but republics would be incentivised to lie and there isn't truly anyone on the fence on him anymore, you either support him or don't. You're either a terrible person or aren't.
Don't worry. I'm pretty sure Manhattan will lock up Dozing Donny. They don't even look at him during the trial. They look at the judge, lawyers, and witnesses, according to the play-by-play account in the NY Times.
It's psychological: you generally look at what you like, and avoid what you don't. If they have partially made up their minds to convict, they should look at the witnesses and evidence to give themselves reasons to do it. I believe they look away from Trump because he has the power to ruin their lives once the trial is done.
If they wanted to please him, they would look at him more.
Thats interesting to know, you just gave me a bit of hope bud. Fingers crossed.
Wow, it looks like Democrats are finally cottoning on to the judicial appointments the right has been ramming in for 25y
Is it almost like decades of choosing ratchet theory and not pushing hard left when you have the opportunities has actual consequences?
Horrible time to realise this.
Imagine how many MAGA people wouldn't be paying attention to politics if weed was legal for recreational use nation wide, or if trans politics had have been introduced in an earlier period, or if billionaires like Musk and Murdoch weren't always sided with and given corporate welfare.
Now is a terrible time to learn this lesson, literally the worst.
They still didn't learn. They are personally conservative and would rather burn it all down than let progressive policy become normalized
They're only noticing this now?
