It works
When you think that the Republicans are idiots for their outlandish repetition of outright lies and innuendo, think again. A majority of Americans will believe anything if enough people say it often enough, facts and details don’t matter:
Most Americans say they think President Joe Biden was involved in his son’s business dealings with Ukraine and China while he served as vice president under Barack Obama, according to a CNN poll conducted by SSRS.
A majority, 61%, say they think that Biden had at least some involvement in Hunter Biden’s business dealings, with 42% saying they think he acted illegally, and 18% saying that his actions were unethical but not illegal. Another 38% say they don’t believe Joe Biden had any involvement in his son’s business dealings during his vice presidency. Just 1% believe Biden was involved, but did not do anything wrong.
A 55% majority of the public says the president has acted inappropriately regarding the investigation into Hunter Biden over potential crimes, while 44% say that he has acted appropriately.
I guess my sunny assumption that the country wouldn’t stand for a convicted felon as president was overly optimistic. People think both Biden and Trump are crooks, that Biden has been interfering in the investigation of his son (and probably the investigations of Trump) because they all do it, so whatever. If they impeach Biden over this, I don’t think the public will even know what crock it is. Because they don’t really care.
Well played, Republicans, well played.
