MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has proclaimed that the United States is finally "united" again after years of political division, and he says that it was the Trump indictment that did it. During an interview this past week, Lindell claimed that so many "liberal Democrats" have come up to him to say that the indictments are a sham and that these Democrats are now proud Trump supporters. Polls say the exact opposite, and we should probably trust that evidence over the word of the pillow man, as Farron Cousins explains.

During an interview late last week, MyPillow, c e o Mike Lindell announced that the country has officially been united again after years and years and years of political divisions that have only gotten worse. Donald Trump has now managed, according to Mike Lindell. So take it with a grain of salt. Trump has managed to unite the country for once. And what are we all united over? Our hatred of the indictments for poor Donald Trump. So here is Mike Lindell in this interview that I can only assume he's doing from his bathroom, um, where he talks about this totally true story of what liberal Democrats are telling him. Here he is.
It was amazing there last night. And the, and, uh, his, uh, his speech was great. It was what it was. Uh, uh, all the attacks, you know, everything they've done now, I think it just solidifies the 2024 election. It, it, it unified. It unified the people. I talked to, people that are on the lap to friends of mine that are Democrats and liberals, and they've said the same thing. What a sham.
That's right. All of us liberal progressive Democrats, we have decided that we are willing to put all of Donald Trump's horrible behavior in the past. You know, the, the, the trade war, the wall, the, the detaining of the migrants, the, you know, horrific abuses that women suffered under Donald Trump, the Capitol riot, uh, the Horrib economic policies, the Covid failures, uh, the, the attacks on other countries. And my, my God, the list goes on, the cozying up to dictators. None of that matters anymore for us Democrats because we're all super sad that Trump's been indicted. And so we're now all 100% gonna vote for him. That is absolutely a totally real and believable story told by a man again, who might be sitting on a toilet. I can't exactly tell. Sounds like he's in a bathroom. Um, here's the thing. That story that he's telling. Oh, the liberal Democrats are telling me they're gonna no, no, they're not.
I can promise you they're not. And do you know how, I know that they're not One, because you're saying it, which usually means it's probably not true. Two, because the polls actually show the opposite. You see, Mike, if you're gonna go out there and tell these made up bogus BS stories, you need to make sure that there's not widely available public evidence to dispute what you're saying. But in this case, there is poll after poll in recent weeks, has shown that a majority, a majority majority, that was weird. A majority of voters in the United States actually support the indictments against Donald Trump. They believe that Donald Trump committed a crime. So you can't go out there and say that everywhere I go, liberal Democrats are coming up and saying, well, we're so sad we're not, dude, have you not been on social media? You show me one actual real Democrat that is out there like, oh no, I'm so scared, cuz I promise you we're not.
Maybe I'm following the wrong people. I don't think I am. I've, I've talked to a lot in person, probably more than you bud. They're, they're, they're all as happy as can be. They're happy as a pig in mud. I am too. I think this needs to happen, as do most people in the United States. So I don't buy your little BS story that liberal Democrats are coming up to you crying that they've seen the error of their ways. But it makes for good tv, right Mike? And maybe next time you want to tell a made up story, pick any other room in your house that's not your bathroom. That's just a little bit of set advice if you're willing to take it. But other than that, maybe also try to not make up stories that are completely contradicted by every single bit of polling data that is widely available to the American public.

(114,671 posts)but I sincerely doubt even that. They always think the Democrats are going to abandon that Civil Rights nonsense and go back to being good bigots who realize that only some of us are real Americans who can be trusted with the vote.
Such people, who are far too lazy to change an erroneous opinion, will rarely have the gumption to fill out the paperwork to change their party registration.
