It's mind boggling to me for a different reason, he has always had his cult locked in where he never dropped below 30something% no matter what he did. The fact that he actually lost some of the die hard "I'd forgive him for raping my daughter" croud is kinda wild.
Well there is a group of people who financially benefit from his presidency and an even larger group who sincerely believe they'll benefit in the long run. And then there is a group who don't really care about politics as long as they can buy shiny new things. That's not 29% obviously, but as long as the economy doesn't collapse there will be people who are fine with whatever happens so i guess you're right: that he continues to lose support is wild, wildly enough.

My grandma voted for Trump in 2024 ... by mail, from her hospice bed.
Hopefully, she won't be voting in 2026 or 2028. (Though I wouldn't put it past my family to cast another mail-in ballot for her 'because it's what she would have wanted'.)
Based on my interactions, I think the delusional/pedophilic demographic is far outweighed by those who are simply deeply ignorant (no comment on racism).
It's not that they're ignoring the evidence about him, or even support him in spite of it (though that definitely happens too). They live in a bubble where they just never see any negative news about him. Their news sources either ignore those stories entirely, or spin them beyond all recognition. Whenever something negative gets too big, they're told it's fake news, or that the Democrats are doing it even worse.
This. They're told, e.g., that the Epstein stuff is all a smear campaign by Democrats. And they believe it because it's hammered into them and because of tribalism.
If my father believed Trump was involved with Epstein and the raping of children, he'd never have voted for Trump. But instead he's convinced that Trump is God-appointed to save America from those evil Democrats who want to corrupt kids with trans ideology. He's stuck in an algorithmically-secured propaganda bubble.
My in-laws are these kind of people. They voted for a lot of politicians, local and federal, because their church told them to because these politicians didn't support abortion. That's all they needed, no other policy or information required. If they questioned it they'd get ostracized from their church circle, so why bother.
If we chatted about these politicians. Typically they were not aware of the deeper topics and would genuinely be disturbed by them, but their responses always went back to, well I just can't vote for X they are pro-abortion and the church doesn't support that.
They need someone to tell them what to do and they cling to these groups because they have never been self sufficient.
Nothing like an imaginary problem/thought exercise used to manipulate voters. Think of the unborn babies! Of course, ignore all the actual living babies. God these people are so fucking stupid.
I was reading last night about the reversal of the EPA ruling on C02. They were using propaganda like the "religion of climate change".
That got my wheels spinning! Wait a minute. If it is a "religion" then don't you have to respect it!?
Truth is that could give a shit about your Magical Sky Daddy beliefs, they only care if it serves their purpose.
Even post-Watergate Nixon had 25%. I think no matter what he does it isn't going to drop below that, there's a subset of the population that simply won't adjust their opinion on of him.
Keep in mind a lot of people simply aren't paying attention and a lot of people have made MAGA a core part of their personality; to turn on it now would mean admitting that all their social media posts, financial contributions, merch, and ruined relationships were in vain. It's massively humiliating to admit to yourself and others that you were that overconfidantly wrong to hitch your wagon to a known conman rapist.
I've found that in every US political poll, the absolute worst of the worst topic or candidate will almost always have 25-30% support. I really think a quarter of people are complete assholes who lack empathy and care for no one but themselves.
Realistically, a portion of that is going to be people trolling/giving a "joke" answer, a portion is going to be people who are so unaware of literally anything going on that they just answer "sure, it's fine", or are basically illiterate and effectively just answer randomly. The number of people who are seriously answering are going to be a smaller subset of that number, greater than 0% but lower than the true number.
29% is insanely low considering how much propaganda they spew and how much media they control.
I try to be "optimistic" because Trump is only going to make things worse, so even lower numbers are possible.
Even Truman was barely lower than this, though his were low because dipshit Americans fellated MacArthur who was a Trump-like figure in many ways. Fake bravado (he abandoned his troops in the Philippines when things got tough), shit talker who spewed bloodthirsty talking points (he wanted to drop 50 nukes on China during the Korean War), but wore cool shades and smoked a pipe, etc
Maga simply represents the shallow, indulgent narcissism at the root of American identity, especially in the shithole South. We've been like this for a long fucking time.
It's an intentional mix of low education, racist history, rural isolation, a faith-based understanding of reality, and 50 years of relentless fascist propaganda. It creates a culturally reinforced tribalism in Republicans and makes them into a sort of cattle-class that can easily be led around by media misinformation. They're too isolated, too dumb, and too blindly loyal to The Party to ever wake up to the reality of their subjugation or the evil of their leaders.
I'm sure there are those that have fatiqued from any pressure to change their opinions and tuned out of any negative news as something they don't trust. They are not even reading them. Kinda the same way I'm fatiqued about anything Trump related and just moving on.
Just like a grand jury will typically indict a ham sandwich, a GOP voter will typically approve of a ham sandwich if their is an R next to its name. Then again, I would rate Sandwich, Ham (R) higher than Trump too, so...
And our whole governmental apparatus is dedicated to propping up a brain-dead, geriatric asshole's ego so people in power can steal more from us with zero accountability.
Which would be bad, but it gets worse, because propping up brain-dead geriatrics is a bipartisan effort now.
Me either, but I'm sure that famously litigious Trump didn't threaten to sue them if they continued posting bad numbers like he's threatened anyone who hurt his feelings.
nah yeah totally got that. just wanted to make sure anyone coming accross this knew to recognize it in the future as not being the same. i realized with your comment that a little bit of my intention was lost
I remember when dubya was in charge it was a global meme how stupid he was. I heard some clip of a speech he made a while back and god damn did he sound coherent and respectable compared to what we have today.
"There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, 'Fool me once, shame on...shame on you.' Fool me—you can't get fooled again."
It was absolutely ridiculous that he said that. Full stop. No politician should mess that up that badly.
But, I've heard people theorizing that, somewhere in the middle of the sentence, he realized that telling the world "fool me twice, shame on me" would have been a disastrous PR nightmare, so he tried to bail out.
Yeah everyone really rallies around a president when the country is attacked. Can't help but feel like it's why Trump is picking fights constantly. I'm sure he would love nothing more than to have Iran or another country to kill some US civilians.
Working in hospice, I regularly come across patients/family members who actively seem to avoid anything that could potentially challenge their beliefs.
Step one, vote orange because R.
Step two, remove anyone or anything from your life that makes you uncomfortable or requires reflection.
Step three, exist comfortably with your head in the sand while the rest of the world burns.
I mean lots of people do the same thing on the other side, but many deem it as reasonable because they agree with the viewpoint. It's natural when the opposition is considered to be wrong and irrational to cope by removing all interaction. It doesn't matter which side, it's true for both. When it gets to an extreme point, you get civil war or capitulation.
People on the left don't bury their heads in the sand and pretend people with opposing opinions don't exist. Fuck, I'm a lefties precisely because the other guys are fucking fascists. You cut those out of your life because they are horrible evil people and their entire world view is incompatible with something as basic as empathy for your fellow human.
Just to be clear, I'm not justifying it, but the reason doesn't matter. The right thinks the same of the left. You say they don't, but then go on to say why they do cut people out. Of course they do, else they'd be going insane... It's a mental survival coping tactic. Both sides do this, until something changes, like regime change, civil war, or capitulation.
I just saw the picture and I initially thought you were going back to the early aughts when we used to say simply "dick" as a dismissive. And I thought that was perfect.
The problem with Vance is that people don't actually like him at all. Even conservatives I talk to say he skeeves them out. Everybody seems to recognize that he's a political snake with no real true convictions or principals, he says whatever he needs to in the moment to get a step ahead.
Trump has a certain turn of phrase and flavor of charisma that seems to resonate with at least a third of the country at any given time. Vance does not, he's awkward in face to face settings and generally comes off as a big dork. I don't know that Vance can command the same loyalty in his party, much less his voting base. There will hopefully be enough cracks in the party and enough blood in the water to make things really messy on that side of the aisle.
Exactly. I don't think he can get elected. But if trump kiels over during his term, and Vance assumes the post, then I wouldn't put it past him to use incumbent advantage and voter suppression to stay in office.
He has thiel's backing, which will keep too many republicans inline. Evangelicals might not like his Catholicism but they might look past that if he implements theocracy.
The republican base would fracture, which would be our saving grace, but I think that would be more advantageous if he actually has to run in an election, and not simply inherit the position.
I love how his approval rating is above water until he actually starts governing. I need to sell snake oil to this country, because I could become filthy (emphasis on filthy) rich.
I am not saying its not politically related but its worth adding the context they provided: "Gallup said the ratings are now "widely produced, aggregated and interpreted, and no longer represent an area where Gallup can make its most distinctive contribution."
Generally gallup has good methodology so I am not sure their reason is sound but im also not fully sure its because of Trump

Just another company gargling Trump's mushroom-shaped member. America is so fucking embarrassing. Now I know how Russians feel.

He would've gotten away with it if he just stfu and retired a rich pedo in New York/Florida. But creeps can't help but tell the world.

I am not saying its not politically related but its worth adding the context they provided: "Gallup said the ratings are now "widely produced, aggregated and interpreted, and no longer represent an area where Gallup can make its most distinctive contribution."
Generally gallup has good methodology so I am not sure their reason is sound but im also not fully sure its because of Trump

I get on a specific type of food bender when I'm smoking and got the munchies (it's currently carrots with home made Greek yogurt ranch🤤).
I call all my munchies scooby snacks, and they are a 10/10 every time!
