• Trump’s approval has taken a substantial swing of 9.6 points, from a net positive of 6.2 points in late January to a net negative of 3.4 points in mid-April.
  • Trump’s loss in support among Hispanic and young adults has been especially steep.
  • The president has not persuaded Americans that foreign countries and producers will bear the burden of higher tariffs, or that the gain will be worth the pain.

        He won the popular vote. Step foot outside an urban area and you’ll see that his popular support isn’t just an illusion.

        There’s a floor of around 38% of Americans who are going to hold that line to the death. They’ve lost friends, family, and businesses over their stance already and haven’t budged. This has been going on for ten years now. They’re in it til the end.

          I live in a very rural area. I’m aware of what rural people support. My point was just that the popularity polling has been and always will be flawed. It doesn’t represent what the majority of the country believes. But we have a fucked up system with the electoral college essentially allowing lower populated states to have essentially the same say as states with big cities.

            The majority voted for Donald Trump.

            He won the popular vote.

            He did not win because of some electoral college bullshit.

            He won because more people voted for him than his opponents.

            Come to terms with the fact that 1 third of our country would sit on the couch and watch another third exterminate the last third.

        It’s closer to what Obama was at mid career. If you want bad you gotta hit W numbers, he was at a low of 19% approval in 2008.

        Historically speaking, fascism is voted in but never voted out. Historically, it is only ever been uprooted through military action.

        Also, it is easier and safer to say what needs to be done between friends in conversations not mediated by the internet.

          The silver lining of all this, is that it’s unlikely that any of these Nazis will die of old age. Most will die from a bullet or at the end of a rope.

        Don’t play stupid, it’s just as dumb as the people trying out fantasy plans about straight up murder
