I never have but I'm sure among the GOP it's very common...they will get the criminal businessman vote.

Who hasn't falsified those documents to hide an affair with a porn star while their wife was taking care of their 4 month old infant? I mean, I never have but I'm sure it's common among the GOP. They will get the cheater's vote.

Who hasn't done all that in order to win an election? I mean, I never have but I'm sure it's common among the GOP. They will get the crooked politician vote.

So yeah, it could happen to others if they are a GOP cheating fraudulent bussinessman and politician. And they are the GOP base.

...in his essay Ur-Fascism (1995).

By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy.

You see this kind of distorted thinking a lot with the MAGA chuds.
