Yeah I seem to do that a bit too well I guess. Apart from the last part about rehabilitation of criminals - which I do strongly believe in but which is unrelated to Trump, so it was probably misplaced in the comment - I just tried to answer the question “why do republicans still want to vote for Trump after this” to my best guess, trying to follow their absolutely flawed “logic”. Let me be very clear: I do 100% think his conviction in this case is very important and severe and it is not “just an affair” or hush money. This is huge. At least to me.
I think somehow I made the impression that I actually think it’s unimportant or not a big deal.
(Also I came to realize that scientific achievements and politics are probably not a good comparison. But then again, probably would fit the logic of an actual Trump supporter.)
I certainly appreciate a good devil’s advocate argument. On the other hand, you’re advocating for the devil.
