I’m basing this poll on Trump’s behaviour and the behaviour and opinions of his supporters, including Republican senators and congressmen and women. To me it’s so bloody obvious that Trump, the coup, and the 100 and some house Republicans, and the likes of Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz, are so bloody wrong, immoral, unethical and corrupt that in any other situation would be censured, or subject to big punishment etc. I think that my sense of right and wrong is fairly normal and mainstream and I am gobsmacked by the apologists and deniers. I have this poll as I’m curious about this. _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trump-and-trump-supporter-behaviour/931419/1))_ ---

Yes…ish, if I’m understanding what you’re really asking, but the phrasing is way too broad and not particularly constructive. You really need to articulate what **specifically** you are characterizing as “Trump and Trump-supporter behavior” if you want a useful conversation and/or poll result to ensue. ---

Fair enough and the feedback is appreciated. I am genuinely curious about this so I will break it down with some specific examples and relaunch. thanks ---

I see you joined in ‘08, so I’d think you would know that posting that poll here would result in overwhelming yes answers-- right now it’s running 100% yes after 23 replies. I’m not sure what you’re expecting to illuminate or discover from your poll. It’s like posting that same poll in a MAGA lovers’ forum and trying to glean any insights from 100% no answers. ---

I’ll say that such a 100% response wouldn’t surprise me though I would expect some disagreement. However, I’ll ask the mods to close this. ---
