    If you just take a second to think, there’s nothing to be surprised about. They think Trump is David and “the system” (whatever it is, Joe Biden and pizzagate) is Goliath.

    If say Bernie Sanders also broke the law but in his supporters’ minds was morally right, they wouldn’t abandon him.

    And I’m not saying Trump isn’t a piece of shit, he clearly is. But his supporters are brainwashed to a degree that you could describe as terminal so they obviously think he’s right and there even isn’t a moral quandary nor double standard in their train of thought.

      To add to this, this literally happened in 1963 and is referenced as one of his biggest selling points.
