If you're a conservative, your ideals align with the GOP than any other political party. That's it. Saying "I still like and support all the conservative stuff but I'd prefer that their leader didn't attempt to sexually assault women" does not make you any better than any other Republican. Maybe a few years ago there was some more wiggle room, but if you're still flying that flag now, hell fucking no.
Anyway, I appreciate the information shared to me regarding the case. I still don't really appreciate this Doucette guy, and 100% stand by that fact that it's an extremely foolish stance to take that it's impossible for Vic to win this case. If you wanna say it's a 98% chance that he's gonna lose then sure I'll take that. But to say that it's 100% is just infuriating. You have to always be on your guard and always ready to fight to the end against some of these pieces of shit. Especially in these times.
So... he hasn't exactly said it's a 100% chance, overall. He's addressed various parts of the case (there's really not just "the case", there's a number of things being thrown at each of the multiple defendants) and it's basically that
most of them are pretty much there, yeah.
I'd say you have to keep in mind that a lot of this isn't "will the judge actually interpret it this way when it's he said she said" level stuff. It's not even the fact that claiming they're defaming him is ridiculous to begin with when he's had a bad rep for an extremely long time. It's his lawyer literally not providing basic evidence of many of the claims at any point (things as basic as: a contract that exists that was interfered with), completely misunderstanding how various things work, Vic literally admitting to doing various things in his deposition, etc. etc. And that was
before the late, horribly messy document in which his lawyer seemingly committed a crime. And it should be noted, that the defendants' lawyers are absolutely going in on this right now and have not been slacking at any point throughout this. I think this worry of yours is misplaced to begin with - this isn't an election, there's no need to worry about people not turning out when they actually needed to or something? But if the thought was that the defendants' lawyers weren't treating it seriously, there's no need to worry. They are absolutely on their guard and fighting hard.
He also explains this stuff in detail fwiw, with numerous other lawyers chiming in - actually, he was
less optimistic than some of the others for a few of the claims. And, well, there's also the very important point this isn't actually about whether Vic
wins, it's about whether
the case isn't dismissed. We're nowhere near the point where Vic
could win, we're at the point where it's about to be thrown out. All of this stuff is happening around filings for dismissal due to the lawsuit being frivolous, not an actual trial yet.
Some do the taunting of the Vic supporters can needlessly clog up the Twitter threads and get a little tiring, I can agree with that much. But as others have said, it's almost entirely to distract them from attacking victims. He is being constantly tweeted at by these people, which is effort they're not directing elsewhere. IIRC he also hasn't even really gained much of a following through this (or at least not a significant jump) either. So it's performative, sure, but not to the end you assumed.
EDIT: Also- I should say the reason people aren't treating you warmly is that you showed up and started being pretty hostile out of nowhere. Complaining about how much he tweets, etc. is also a thing Vic's supporters do constantly. So while I can see you're posting in good faith and are just worried about this stuff, I am not surprised that others questioned that at first.
