Many red-state Trump voters want to secede

I doubt they would be better off but the rest of us would.

Nothing will convince Big Lie believers of the truth

It has been over a year and a half since the 2020 election. There has been no evidence of significant fraud. Yet, 28% still think Trump won. This isn’t going to change. Nothing will convince the Trump cult that he lost. At least the majority knows what happened.

Which candidate do you think was the legitimate winner of the 2020 presidential election?

Joe Biden 65%
Donald Trump 28%

Update on gun polls – 7/7/22

NATIONAL POLL: Support of #GunPolicies:

ALL AMERICANS / CURRENT GUN OWNERS
83% / 76% – Background checks
75% / 60% – Red flag laws
60% / 41% – National gun registry
55% / 33% – Ban assault weapon sales
42% / 18% – Mandatory buyback of assault weaponshttps://t.co/4NZ9MHxXgw pic.twitter.com/BnSAyWbzU0
— MonmouthPoll (@MonmouthPoll) June 30, 2022

66% for making gun laws more strict, rather than keeping them the same (25%) or less strict (8%). A big margin on a pretty salient issue–and one (unlike inflation, say) on which Congress directly legislates. Shouldn't Democrats should be able to capitalize on this in 2022? pic.twitter.com/a3ZPeh81gJ

34% of Republican and 87% of Democratic respondents said they were “very” or “somewhat” confident that stricter gun laws would reduce mass shootings, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll conducted in September 2019.

75% of Republicans don’t believe Biden won legitimately

This isn’t going to change. It’s been over a year and a half. Republican unwillingness to accept facts is very damaging to our election process.
