80% of Republicans disagree that Trump is to blame for the violence

Mean time in the Up is Down world ...

https://www.npr.org/2021/01/15/956850131/poll-majority-of-americans-blame-trump-for-violence-at-capitol

....Eight in 10 Republicans disagree that Trump is to blame for the violence, don't believe social media companies should continue restrictions on him and don't trust that results of the 2020 election were accurate. That's despite no evidence of widespread fraud and Trump's own administration saying the election was the "most secure in American history."


on the other hand, sane people do sane people stuff

Almost 6 in 10 Americans said they blame President Trump for the violent insurrection that took place Jan. 6 at the U.S. Capitol by a mob of his supporters, according to the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll.



Democrats need to work overtime to give no quarter to Trump or his terrorist crew lest they slink back into society.

The Trump & MAGA needs to be on the same level as KKK and other white supremacist terrorism in America.

DT is leavig the WH with a 29% approval rating. I stood up & clapped at that one! If that one is true, then 8 in 10 Pubs can't possibly not blame DT for the violence.
