I thought 35%ish in the US was bad. 56% in Russia is one of the more shocking stats I’ve seen about their inequality.

Michigan GOP is in shambles because they elected the “outsider” MAGA candidates who had no fundraising experience, they immediately failed to fundraise enough, it got so bad that their flagship annual fundraiser was a fraction of its normal size.
Instead of pulling together to right the ship they…immediately turned to conspiracy theories, declared each other to be Deep State plants, and demanded the party leaders “open the books” to show how much money there really was, but party leaders refuse because it would prove how bad at fundraising they have been.
Detailed in a recent This American Life.
The nihilism of legal consequences has so far come from the lack of charging him with anything, mostly when he was president and the policy was not to charge him with anything. He hasn’t actually gotten away with anything that has gone to court.
He lost the E Jean Carroll suit and the Trump Corp fraud case. The other stuff is still ongoing.
The Australian billionaire who leaked the nuclear sub info he got from Trump bragged about doing that. Called it a cost of doing business.
There’s some subset here who are just trolling the polls or giving the answer that supports their candidate regardless. But even reading this flatly, I think that’s fine for Biden. He’s never getting the “poison the blood” vote, that’s the 42% of the furthest right 50% of the country.
But then there’s the 58% who don’t like this. A large number of them will still vote for Trump in the General if they vote because they still like him better than Biden, but this is one more thing making them maybe not vote, maybe protest vote for a 3rd party, whatever. That’s something.
People don’t “like him for it” they like him despite it. Just because people like an unlikable person doesn’t mean they like everything about him.
