re: 46% of republicans, 71% of independents think Trump did something unethical or illegal

That's what happens when the dumb masses get their information from the propaganda outlets of the DNC, and are subjected to 24/7 gaslighting from said propaganda outlets.

The great majority of people in this country are too lazy, too ignorant, or a combination of both, to actually dig up factual information and think for themselves to reach logical conclusions.

Three generations of useful idiots being taught WHAT to think instead of HOW to think in government indoctrination centers (AKA public schools) has resulted in an easily controlled population.
