Alarming Number Of Republicans Would Jump Ship To Third Party Spearheaded By Trump, Poll Finds

A recent poll conducted by Suffolk University and USA Today revealed a startling new statistic.

In the poll, 46% of people who voted for former President Donald Trump in 2020 would follow him to a new political party.


Trump has reportedly been considering starting his own party since his re-election campaign failed.

The poll also revealed the continued spread of misinformation about the January 6 insurrection at the Captiol.

58% of Trump voters characterized the Capitol riot by Trump supporters—including QAnon adherents and White supremacists—as "mostly an antifa-inspired attack that only involved a few Trump supporters."

Only 28% described the Capitol insurrection as a "rally of Trump supporters, some of whom attacked the Capitol."


The FBI reported there is "no indication" antifa played any role in the January 6 Capitol riot.

A recent study confirmed those arrested for their participation in the violent mob were "largely pro-Trump activists."


Many online hoped Trump would carry out his threat, splitting America's conservative vote in two.



Splitting the conservative vote would certainly be good for Democrats in the short term.

But having a major political party run by a singular demagogue-like figure would be unquestionably bad for the country's political scene.


There were also some online who were skeptical conservative voters would actually abandon the GOP.


Many Americans have long been dissatisfied with the two-party system, but its presence isn't coincidental.

Two major parties with diametrically opposite ideals is the natural result of America's "first past the post" voting system.


Since losing the 2020 election, Trump has continued to falsely claim the election was fraudulent while never providing any evidence to back his lies.

It seems many of his supporters prefef to believe those lies despite the mountains of evidence contradicting him.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
