"America's response to this week's indictment of Donald Trump is providing a window into more than just how Americans view his alleged actions per se — but also into what they think it means for democracy itself.

--Half the nation believes Trump tried to stay in office beyond his term through illegal and unconstitutional means.

To most Americans, such an effort would mean undermining democracy.

For them and for a majority of Americans overall, the series of indictments and ongoing investigations against Trump are seen as "defending democracy" and "upholding the rule of law."

Might as well have titled the article: "How successful is our propaganda? Let's look at the poll"

As far as the bolded part: did Donald Trump leave the White House, without being forced, before noon on January 20, 2023? That is a yes or no question.

So basically, the Deep State Media conducted a poll that supports their coup?

We’ll let the elections sort this out given the GOP in Congress are of very little help in fighting this chaos from the Democrats.

Given it gets worse and worse and the GOP nationally does less and less, I suspect this will eventually divide America into clear Red states and Blue states as most normal people don’t want to be subjected to the BS we see expanding as leftist policies being implemented by Biden and the deep state.

It’s personal for me but don’t use that word democracy around me. You will get limped into the leftist idiot category that needs to be destroyed.

“Half the nation believes............”

THAT statement alone proves that half the nation or more are NOTHING BUT USELESS STUPID SHEEP. Add in say 15-20% voter fraud and Democrats will be guaranteed to remain in power up to and including the very last day before this country DIES!!!

They only believe that is the Dims narrative sold 24/7/365 by the media like CBS. If we had honest media at ABC/CBS/CNN/MSNBC/NBC/NPR there would be no great percentage of the American media believing that false Dim narrative.

A stinky garbage poll that doesn’t have a breakdown of the 2100 people they polled or their methodology (phone or online).
