How is former president of the US Donald Trump still free when a lot of the accomplices in things he has been indicted for are already in jail and or prison except him? - eviltoast

I am asking here because all the political subs don’t allow a question, and US politics used to seemed so simple until to understand this man came along.

      “gained fans” is problematic because it’s subjective, but it’s being widely reported that his polling has improved with the indictments. This is the first hit in search with some details but there are many articles like it.

      Briefly, the narrative that it’s a politically motivated witch hunt is resonating with voters.

        If the trump era taught me only a couple things, one of them is that polls aren’t really very useful.

        Yeah I don’t doubt there are some folks who now are more motivated to vote for trump… however that really exceeds the number who turned away from him?

        What other criminal in history survives literally infinite evidence against them, and not just with their existing supporters, but also that evidence actively somehow turns NEW people in their favor? AND those new people outnumber the people who finally realize the truth??I just had a literal nightmare and this scenario feels right at home in the fucked world my mind conjured.
