A new Washington Post analysis of how much disgraced former President Trump’s 91 felony charges have increased his lead in the GOP primary includes the usual insane quotes from focus group participants telling Never Trumper organization Republican Accountability Project how deeply they love and worship the Holy Orange Messiah now that he’s being persecuted by the socialists:

“Most of us are just so sick to death and have become deaf because of the constant crucifixion of Trump and this has gone on now for so many years that we just don’t even hear it anymore. They’ve just got him under a microscope. They’re just following him around waiting for the next thing they can pin on him,” said a South Carolina woman identified only as “Cheyenne.” Age unknown.

“A jury could very well find him guilty and he may very well be guilty, but why are they going after him and not everybody else?” another Palmetto stater named Larry said in a June focus group. “If they’re going to go after him, I want to see him go after the Clintons and I want to see him go after Biden. The fact that they’re just going after Trump, I don’t believe that this should be happening.”

“I would have preferred DeSantis,” New Jersey Republican voter Joey Marino said. “But I have to support Trump because we have to gain back our country. I only switched over to support Trump because indicting him is an outrage and threatens democracy.” Yes, irony is still dead.

“The closer a person is to God, and the more that they’re trying to do to fulfill God’s plans, and do the right thing, the more Satan attacks him,” said Iowa man John Nish, who is considering supporting DeSantis but says he gets more “energized” for Trump every time he thinks about him.
