"Jailbird"? That's rather derogatory, if not prejudicial and hypocritical. Pardon me for being so blunt, but no other way to put it. How many of his supporters were "jailbirds" at one point in time? How many were "prison birds" not only at one time, but currently: January 6th ring a bell? 2016 anti-Antifa violent protesters? Proud Boys? Aryan Brotherhood? The clowns parading with Tiki Torches calling out Jews? Aren't every one of those the same as the fine, God-fearing "law-abiding" go to church every Sunday type people" you're referring to?
Almost all of the fellas in jail cell blocks around the country are doing minor time for minor misdemeanors. These are not convicted felons serving long prison sentences which BTW, are the same percentage of Trump supporters.
Most of the guys who were in my buddy's block were in there because they were at the wrong place at the wrong time and got caught and most of them are in for minor charges. Misdemeanor possession of marijuana or controlled substance. Driving with a suspended license even the ones with domestic charges are the most common ones and they're only in there waiting for either a plea deal from the DA or going to trial to fight the charges because of the bottom of the barrel domestic charge. Example - one guy was in there because his stepson punched him in the face and was coming back at the guy who defended himself by throwing an empty pizza box at the stepson. Cops took the kid's word for it and DA called it "assault with a deadly weapon." An empty pizza box, in self-defense after being assaulted called a deadly weapon! Or others in there that can't make bail because of technicalities. Most of those can't remember phone #s to call their relatives/friends to bail them out because their cellphones are seized and they have no access to them. These are hardly first class criminals lol and the classification of common folk couldn't be more appropriate, especially when it relates to Trump supporters.
Well, the issue here is, you need to stand for law and order, without that, we don't have democracy, we won't even have a functioning nation.
As I said in the old forum for standing up at
@RoadAmerica for his view on MAGA. I don't think all MAGA are bad, it's just what people believe, and there are some that listen to what Trump said and then rush inside the capitol, some stay put, some didn't even bother to show up, so am I to say we should generalise everyone just because they hold a certain believe. The issue here is, just because someone is pro MAGA, that does not mean they are criminal, it only happens if someone committed an offense, and once that happened, I have no pita on them.
Same applies to everyone incarcerated, sure, everyone had had their issue, you can say the system was rigged, you can say you are wrongly accused, I used work for a sheriff and worked at county lock up, I can tell you 9 out of 10 these people are going to say they didn't do it. That fair, you can maintain your innocent and all, 5th amendment and all that. Is there "nice guy" in the can? Sure, but then everyone had issue and I have had seen all of them and even know some of my own guy in the army felt thru the crack and ended up in the big house, the issue here is, while most of them have some sob story behind, whether or not they are in it for a serious felony or just a misdemeanor, that's basically their choice, it's things that they made and once you (not talking about "you" you) did, you have to go thru the consequences. And that's why you are in the can. A lot more people who put their head down and ride thru whatever shit life throw at them and not committed any crime.
As for whether or not are these people the "god fearing" or "church going type", again, you can say whatever you want, wrong place, wrong time, or they are just exaggerated the charge, or you can proclaim innocent all you wanted. You don't end up in a big house by mistake. And maybe if you think committing small petty crime is nothing, I personally know someone who go from being a petty theft to rapist in a span of 5 years, petty crime is what started most criminal, either they think the system is rigged against them, or they think they can do it and get away with it. I mean, people can look at things as a bleeding liberal on crime point of view. Seeing these people don't deserve to serve jail time, but as a person who catches criminal as a job and did that for almost a decade, that's just too damn often people get let out and then turn around and commit a more serious crime, not saying your buddy is one of these people, I don't know them, but forgive me if I am jaded for the topic when someone I arrested for B&E and the DA turn him loose ended up raping a 9 years old in her sleep and told me "The only thing I learn from this is how not to get caught next time".
Are you suggesting these law-abiding, God-fearing go to church every Sunday types don't have skeletons in their closets? We can't be that naive, good sir.
Why do you suppose those so-called "jailbirds" love him so much to the point where they don't care about his criminal record? Or why these God-fearing law-abiding goody two shoes don't care about his criminal record & actions? And not just any criminal record, they're willing to let go 34 felony convictions on top of rape & sexual molestation charges and we're still not even halfway there with his legal woes.
Those jailbird sentiments are exactly the same ones as with those so-called "law-abiding, God-fearing go to church every Sunday" common folk you're talking about. Same exact thing and that's why they're all part & parcel of the Trump common folk supporters.
It's like you ask someone why you like Taylor Swift? You ask 100 people you probably get 100 answers. The issue here is, are we talking about "love" him or "support" him? Those are two different concept. I don't like Trump, I vote for him in 2016 because he is the candidate for GOP, and I myself is a conservative. I don't particularly like Trump as a person, or what he said he was going to do, I vote for him because I hated the dem even more. I didn't even vote in 2020. Because I failed to see how Trump was even able to govern himself, let alone a nation. And I will most likely vote for Biden in 2024 if Trump is on the GOP ticket. The same reason I vote for him in 2016, but in reverse.
Most people support Trump because they have no other choice, it's like what you think why Taylor Swift is the most dominated female artist in the world for 2020s, there are simply because there were no opposition. Not everyone support trump love him, or even have good thing to say about him and not everyone supported trump because of the same reason, I will say if GOP have anyone other than Trump being nominated, they are going to win 2024 with almost certainty. But the fact to the matter is GOP is too chicken shit about abandoning the MAGA brand, which without the MAGA supporter, they aren't going to win shit. But the issue here is, you don't win any election just by your base alone, any good strategist would have dropped Trump and Trump brand already. Yes, you may lose 2020 and 2024, but you get a shot of the future.
This have nothing to do with whether or not people sympathise with his criminal record.
