Why do all these fascists keep on voting for Trump?
Here’s some data that might help to explain the “mystery” of why Republicans prefer attending the Ariana Grande concert to watching people do karaoke versions of Ariana Grande songs, and the explanation may not be that the karaoke singers are making bad tactical choices or splitting the presumptively large pro-karaoke majority:
Preliminary Iowa Republican caucus entrance polls on Monday highlighted the grip former president Donald Trump maintains on Republican voters and the extent to which his false claims that the 2020 election was rigged have dominated the GOP electorate.
Nearly two-thirds of Iowa caucus-goers said President Biden did not legitimately win the election in 2020, according to results from network entrance polls conducted by Edison Research.
Those numbers come as Trump has made false claims surrounding the 2020 election a key part of his stump speech and his bid for a return to the White House. During a campaign event in Indianola, Iowa, this weekend ahead of his caucus victory Monday night, Trump declared that “radical-left Democrats rigged the presidential election of 2020, and we are not going to allow them to rig the presidential election of2024.”
I’m beginning to think that the latent Reasonable Republican Majority exists only in the wishful thinking of certain elite pundits!
