That's because many GOP voters don't believe in democracy. They are fine with stealing an election if Trump is the one doing it.
Stop voting for Republicans. They don't believe in our democracy.

MODERATORS
They WILL vote.
Will you??
Conservatives have been quite open about destroying the Consitution and installing Trump as a Dictator to own the libs.
As a non-American it seems they want a very particular reading of certain parts of the US Constitution.
Much like how the same people pick and choose the parts of Christianity that serve them and ignore the parts that don’t.
One nation, under God.*
*Terms and conditions apply.
Funny story, the god part isn't part of the original pledge of allegiance.
If I remember correctly, it was:
I pledge allegiance to my Flag, and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
I feel that the original is the best one (though I feel uncomfortable about people "pledging allegiance" to a flag just because they were born there).
the thing is they're going to own a lot more than the libs if they're successful

Well, yeah, republicans are traitors.
But not all GOP voters who spoke with ABC News feel this way.
Hall Haselton, a Tennessee voter born and raised in Nashville, said that although he "respects" Trump's view that the indictments constitute a "witch hunt," he believes the legal system should ultimately be allowed to run its course and that he does not support the former president being elected to a second term.
…
"We know that he's a liar. We know he wants all the credit for everything that went right," he said. "He wants no blame for everything that went wrong."
Yet he will still vote Trump if he's on the ballot in November 2024
Lol this 👆
Why the fuck would he respect him if he understands that he's a glory-seeking blowhard? What a strange fucking breed these people are.
Anyone who still supports Trump after all he did is a complete piece of shit of a human being.
Why would Republicans be deterred by the new indictments when their entire media and social media experience is just a reinforcement of their anti-reality world view?
They are a cult. Really and truly a cult. Trump is playing hard into being a Christ figure for them, LITERALLY telling them that he is being indicted FOR THEM.
And not a single one of their presidential candidates has the balls to speak the truth of this situation.
I honestly don't know how this ends. This divide will not end with this election cycle.
Trump turned the party into a cult with himself at the center. He convinced them through constant disinformation and gaslighting that America is doomed unless he is re-elected as the "savior" and that any legal action taken against him is part of a conspiracy to stop him from "saving America". His supporters are thoroughly brainwashed and will completely disregard the plethora of evidence of the contrary.
He was a criminal the first two times they voted for him, why would this change anything?
The GOP is a cult and in a cult facts don't matter.
That’s cause they’re slightly retarded.
Hey! We don't use that sort of ableist language here.
Please use the more inclusive (and accurate) term, "Batshit Crazy".
Slightly?
Weapons grade stupid.

Yes, many Trump voters remain shitty people. More news at 11.
They're in the "denial" stage of cope.
Always have been 🌎👨🚀🔫👨🚀
cult members don’t turn on their leader
Idiots struggle to learn, more at 11.
I thought we averted civil war 2, but apparently it has just been postponed...
Its a football game to these fucking moron conservatives or anyone who leans right. Fuck em. Watch em reduce to nothing, grab the popcorn. Stupid fucking low iq idiots.
A football game, but with more terrorism.
Sure, his supporters will support him more but who cares?
Trump is alienating moderates and turning independents into long-term Democrat voters.
Let them strap themselves to the sinking ship that is Donald Trump.
All it takes is a spoiler third party candidate (like Kennedy who is funded by republican megadonors) to flip the election to Trump. Another term for trump would end the US democratic experiment as we know it. The constitution needs to be redone anyway, as intended by many of the founding fathers.
