      No you’d hope that his overall general shitty behaviour, litany of crimes, and being a fucking idiot would hurt him in the polls.

      Idk why people would change their mind because of a conviction when it is already glaringly obvious that he has committed a shit ton of crimes.

      The people he ordered to do crimes have already been tried and convicted for the crimes he ordered them to do yet he hasn’t faced any consequences for those crimes that he ordered those people to do.

        There are a good number of people that actually take the whole “innocent until proven guilty in a court of law” thing all the way to its extreme. Even with glaringly obvious public evidence before that.

        It is the foundation of our justice system, as much as some groups are trying to tear it apart, even from within in some cases.

          Only the presumption of innocence by the court is important to our legal system. Anyone not part of the trial has no obligation to presume any defendant is innocent.
