What's disturbing, and I guess unsurprisingly, that among all my friends/family who are trunp supporters, and among those who I have personally talked to about this, this is my experience.
1. They initially deny that the tape is real.
2. When I get logical and say that trunp has never once denied it, and there are two witnesses, and I suggest there is tech that can confirm one way or another, they move on to the next step
3. They ignore that trunp did it, and commit whataboutism and talk about other people instead
4. When i dont fall for the deflecting, and try to stay on topic, we get to the real meat and potatoes
5. They then say that he was allowed to do it in the first place
6. When pressed that it's really not permissible, they say how they really feel. that they dont think what he did was wrong regardless of the legality OR, they dont care if it's illegal, he's still their guy.
What i've found is that the real problem we have is selective outrage. Being mad about clinton's intentional mishandling of classified data and not caring that he himself also intentionally mishandled classified documents.
And this is why politics f78cking sucks. It's why we never get anywhere. nobody wants accountability. they get more excitement out of pointing fingers outward
