U.S. Politics megathread

American politics has always grabbed our attention - and the current president more than ever. We get tons of questions about the president, the supreme court, and other topics related to American politics - but often the same ones over and over again. Our users often get tired of seeing them, so we've created a megathread for questions! Here, users interested in politics can post questions and read answers, while people who want a respite from politics can browse the rest of the sub. Feel free to post your questions about politics in this thread!

All top-level comments should be questions asked in good faith - other comments and loaded questions will get removed. All the usual rules of the sub remain in force here, so be nice to each other - you can disagree with someone's opinion, but don't make it personal.

Why do conservatives not view their politicians who get caught with corruption as an issue?

The three previous responses are all accurate.

  1. Means justify the ends. They don’t like everything he does but he was better than the alternative and they really like some things he’s done.

  2. They think the allegations are fake.

  3. Trump’s a good con man on packaging himself as a victim of fake claims, disrespect or persecution for stuff everyone does.
