All of these people voting for him are gonna quickly disavow him when the wheels of time turn and history looks down upon them with universal disgust
Hard was find people in Germany who openly admited to supporting a certain party once that party was destroyed. Thank God for social media, people won't be able to use cheep excuses for being held to account
As my Dutch grandfather often angrily said, the Dutch resistance gained most of its members in 1945.
But I think it was a useful lie at that point. Better to get on with things, rather than settle scores.

How many problems do we face today because of this misguided notion?
Confederates weren't punished after the US Civil War, and what did they do after that? The KKK, Jim Crow, "lost cause" myth, redlining, sundown towns, etc, happened because we didn't beat every inch of racism out of the South. Nixon literally sabotaged an end to hostilities in Vietnam and prolonged the war just to get elected. What's the word for someone who actively works against their government? Oliver North sold guns to Iran in order to fund right-wing revolutionaries in Nicaragua at Reagan's direction. GW Bush lied about WMDs in Iraq to justify an invasion, and blew the cover off a CIA operative when she refused to endorse false claims of Uranium enrichment.
And that's just the ones off the top of my head.
Out of curiosity, what city was he in for that? My great grandparents on my Oma's side were part of the resistance in Haarlem during the war.
Yes, when he loses in November there's going to be an epic meltdown in the GOP. Three election cycles and this idiot is the best they have?
The list of things I heard less democratic than the idea of holding people to account for who they vote for is pretty short.
We’re not talking about punishing people for voting for Bob Dole here.
Here's hoping she stays in to the primary and splits the Rep. vote.
She’s going to dip out before then. Her only real plan is to stay relevant enough to be the defacto candidate should Trump not be able to run or dies.
In a number of states, you cannot run in the election as a third party candidate if you lost the primary for that state. I’m not sure how widespread that is, but it’s come up in several recent elections. I think they’re even called something like anti-spoiler rules.
I think there’s pollsters who are looking at three way races now (usually throwing in Kennedy), but I don’t know if they’ve been able to say whether he pulls more Trump or Biden voters yet.
It is literally ~60%-40% as of right now. I would hardly call that a crushing blow.
In politics? 20 points is a huge margin of victory. Anything over 10 is considered a landslide.
Absolutely insane to me.
What was the turnout? Seriously. I think people need to start taking the primaries more seriously. After this they're gonna whine about why the quality of candidates in the general election is so bad.
There are 3,268,506 registered voters in SC. 451,905 voted for Trump in his primary.
13.8% turned out for Trump.
I just hope we get a whole bunch of never Trumpers out of this bullshit. They're both trash human beings.
MSNBC: "looking at the next few Republican primaries is not looking good for Haley. Michigan polls show Trump leading 81% to 19%. Massive blowout"
If she stays in, it's only banking on Trump getting convicted. She's never winning a primary in this Republican party.
Isn't the SCOTUS ruling more likely her last chance before running out of money and determination?
You're so transparent, @return2ozma

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former President Trump is projected to handily win the South Carolina GOP primary, dealing a crushing blow to rival Nikki Haley, according to an exit poll conducted by Decision Desk HQ.
Trump’s win will fuel further questions about her viability, especially given that she had previously served as governor of South Carolina.
Yet Haley has signaled that she’s in it for the long haul, saying earlier this week, “South Carolina will vote on Saturday, but on Sunday I will still be running for president.”
Many Republicans have largely started to shift their attention to the general election as it increasingly looks like a rematch between Trump and President Biden.
All eyes are now turning to Super Tuesday on March 5, where Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia and American Samoa will be casting their ballots in the presidential contest.
The Trump campaign projected in a memo this week that the former president would notch the necessary number of GOP delegates to secure the nomination by March 19.
