Yes, pressure does make these people do things, as they see their structure crumble they will try to save it.


What "structure?" You actually think that republicans in Red States will watch Democrats hold hearings and say, "You know what? Those Democrats were right all along about Trump!! My GOD, why did I ever think that they were lying about him? I was wrong about Kavanaugh, too! Watching IMPEACHMENT hearings showed me a COMPLETELY different side of Trump that I NEVER SAW. Well, I'm going to demand that Mitch stop whatever he's doing to get those pro-choice judges installed RIGHT NOW and demand that he get rid of Teflon Don right now!!! How could I have been so BLIND!!" You seem to have forgotten about how these Trump supporters responded to the allegations against Kavanaugh revealed in hearings. Maybe you missed their reaction to the Mueller hearings? They are still convinced that Trump was "exonerated" from obstruction, because Barr said so...

she, being the leader of the Democratic party, I find she is responsible for alerting, for moving the right pieces to safeguard democratic elections knowing how much cheating republicans have committed in the past and are gearing up to do in 2020.


Um.... I guess you missed/skipped this part of my post where I pointed out all the times that she has. Here it is again:




The response should be, as you think Trump supporters are completely capable of: "Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I can see now that I was wrong, and was aiming my anger at the wrong person/party."
