Believes what Trump says instead of what they actually saw with their own eyes. The power of rhe cult is strong.

I know we know it here but 1/6 was real, it was violent, police were attacked, democracy was attacked and fatlarso from Mar Lardo can deny it all he wants but the world saw it. Again, sadly some will believe what trump says over what they saw.

I can't help but think that it would have helped if his January 6th trial had actually taken place in a timely manner. We all saw the January 6th Committee evidence, but the cultists have short memories - besides the denial. And there is no reason at all that he hasn't already been tried and convicted along with those who he sent to the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power by overturning the government in his name. In that case, even more evidence, traced specifically to him, would have been presented, and the public deserved to see it long ago.

Trump is spending about 2 million am dollars a month to avoid accountability. He has judges he appointed and money he had collected through his campaign, his PAC and the RNC where he put his daughter in law in control backing his role in an attempt to delay until he can in his mind hopefully get elected and pardon himself.

Money talks and it is speaking loudly.
