A new poll from CNN finds that a majority of Republicans think that believing Donald Trump won in 2020 (which he did not) is an important tenet for being a Republican.

The poll, released on Sunday, finds the Republicans polled almost evenly divided between whether Trump should be the nominee in 2024.

51 percent said they would have a better chance with him leading the ticket, while 49 percent said another nominee would be better.

The poll also includes a list of items for people in both parties to say how important it is to what being a Republican or Democrat means to them.

1. OMG, these people are so demented it's beyond belief, straight out of The Twilight Zone.

It's damn chilling ... and to be backing a creature like Trump. Incredible!!!

2. It's not reality or evidence that matters, it's simply attesting to a particular belief system.

I can’t imagine what instilled that kind of thinking in them.

9. Exactly.

It's a cult. If you want to belong, you must conform.

3. I' surprised that many still believe in him. After his failed (IMO) one term, I thought there were

more realistic people in that party. All the recounts that were done & NONE showed their candidate won. I guess they don't believe in science OR the people who did the recounts, even though most of the States that did recounts are led by a Repug.

I've asked myself how I would respond if Clinton, Obama or Biden had done the same things as DJT. I don't believe I would still be loyal. Not that I'd ever vote for a Repug, but I'd chose either wouldn't vote for President, or I'd opt for the Indy.

4. Stupid is still, "STUPID."....AND...."FACTS ARE FACTS"...Trump will not run for anything

Got 1 minute 51 seconds?....Watch this video, (less than 2 minutes, it ain't long)

5. Time to just give up

and move forward. Why even entertain this?

[Permanut]

14. Because they want to take over the country..

and we object to that.

6. It's really ridiculous.

For a party who claims to be against cancel culture, they're really into cancelling out Republicans who are not like themselves. All the Republicans they respected in the past are now Rhinos while this clown is the supposed one true Republican.

7. Double plus good. Nt

8. It doesn't really matter what they believe

The world moves onward anyway.

12. The existing GOP is a cult

In order to be in this cult you must have this belief. Cults are dangerous

10. This is a Republican position. Doesn't have to be a real belief,

they're trained to declare loyalty to everything Republican.

In this case, "How important is each of the following to what being a Republican means to you?" was asked several times with various endings before "Believing that Donald Trump won the 2020 election."

Interestingly, while 59% said very (36%) or somewhat (23%) important, 40% said Not too (15%) or not at all (25%) important.

Effectively everyone divided into one of these baked-in groups with big differences at the extremes.

11. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ... etc.

13. I would love to know how much the GOP has decreased in size since Needy Amin was in charge and

killed off half a million Americans. 59% of 1,000 isn't the same as 59% of 100.

[JanMichael]

15. I think we need a bigger basket.nt

[C_U_L8R]

16. Apparently they love the smell of their own stink.

17. 14.25% Of Voters

Just for context, Pew did a report on political affiliation this past spring. 24% self-identify as R.
So, it's only 14.25%.
That said, that's an enormous number of people for a cult. And, this is a cult!
