Holy crap... Did you guys read the bottom bit about Georgia voters?

"Another man Bob, playing with his bluegrass band outside a café, was more sure. He wanted a positive outcome for Donald Trump and said a conviction would not change his mind. What would?

“If he was convicted of murder, I'd be like that's not a guy I want to go for!” "

Not surprised, tbh, but I still find it ridiculous to read.

he's lying. he would still vote for him if he literally murdered his family. this is a cult. they'll always find some excuse.

Not if he murdered Bob's family. Conservatives start caring once it actually affects them personally (they have a gay child and suddenly support gay rights). If he murdered Bob's neighbors though Bob would still vote for him.

I'd love to give them that much credit but even that's unreliable. Lots of them disown their gay children, or worse. wouldn't be surprised if some of them would murder their own family if he suggested it. well some kinda already did with his COVID policies

People like Bob give bluegrass music a bad name

We could consider the overseas operatives he’s likely gotten killed.

Oh, his blabber mouth has definitely gotten operatives killed. They were LIBERAL CIA RATS, though, so Bob here wouldn't give a shit anyway

And if he was convicted of murder? Hell she probably deserved it!
