Which still shows that 33% lack basic skills for poitical reasoning.
Aka Republicans.
Of the economy. I’m sure his loyal ~38% is still in there overall, minus a blip for the gas prices.
Economy approval is at 30% according to this poll.
33% is overall.
Wow, I’m impressed that the ride-or-die overall 38% finally cracked.
Ready for him to lose midterms, have the Reichstag burn down, and have him declare an emergency.
1/3 people support the pedophile in chief. Lmao. Let that sink in. “Craters” lol
MAGAs would eat his poo if he told them it was lobster, and accuse us of treason for not eating the “lobster.”
sone of them would forgive him raping their young daughters and say it must have been gods will.
Don’t need voter approval if you don’t let them vote. One dimensional chess!
33% of the US are traitors. Not just to the US, but all of humanity.
66% allowed him into office through action or inaction.
They are all Nazis or Nazi sympathizers.
Which is functionally one group
I’ve lived in a area thet is mostly red area from birth until about age 20…
It is absolutely stunning the level of ignorance from many (most) MAGA. The circle jerk eachother something fierce.
Traitorous is an appropriate word for many, but for many-also- they are so uneducated, so uninformed, so lacking in critical thinking and accurate up-to-date news that, for those people, they may as well be considered retarded; and are victim to the FOX et al news and media sources. I dont know how the nation will ever get this cohort to change, unless there is a concerted (and well effective I guess)effort to improve education and some sort of changes to cable news, Facebook news and other uncool places where these peoppe get their news.
The rural people problem…
Even for the demographic that is 'mericans that’s impressively low.
It’s always 30-something percent in support, every poll.
If we somehow survive this, 60%+ of Americans should file a class action lawsuit against Fox News for causing and contributing to such widespread destruction of our democracy.
Media is consolidating into the hands of right wing billionaires, now CBS and CNN are in those same right wing hands. If it keeps goign there wont be any left wing mainstream media.,
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy
The last tanker of oil was said to have reached port a couple days ago. Our buffer is gone. Let’s see what happens. Will paper prices meet the real price? What about food prices? Next month should be interesting.
This happened to me yesterday and might help explain why his approval is still so high:
I’m in my 40s, sitting in a waiting room, waiting to consult with a doctor about the ol’ snip-snip. The room is filled with aging boomers and gen-x of all walks of life. I mean, the next youngest patient in this room is probably 20-years my senior. Some random guy down the seat row on the other side of the room is talking to someone, presumably his wife but maybe an older female child, about mutual family and friends and the goings-on. I’m ignoring everything as usual until I hear, ‘I know you don’t like tRump…’ My ears perk up.
He goes on to talk about finding these tRump coins online and inquires into whether some acquaintance of theirs, or their offspring, might like one. I can’t really hear the woman’s response, but she clearly doesn’t want to talk about this now, in this place, and within easy earshot of every soul in the room.
He reiterates that he knows that she doesn’t like tRump, but this is about someone else and if she thinks the coins might make a good gift. I still can’t hear the whole response from the lady, but she mentions the AI Jesus post. Dude seemed clueless as to what she was talking about. He says, ‘no, I hadn’t heard about that’. She goes on to explain how much it upset people and the backpedaling he tried to do to sane face with Christians.
Here’s a dude buying tRump coins as gifts like a dude might buy a sports team’s merchandise, not knowing the shit that’s actively perpetuated by that sports team. It’s clear that most are not on tRump’s Twitter clone for infantile adults, but likely only see the posts that some Facebook groups want them to see. Whatever echo chamber these people are siloed in is going to great lengths to isolate that 33% from the real shit tRump does.
…not knowing the shit that’s actively perpetuated by that sports team
I may consider this reasonable if the Doctor Jesus thing was the odd thing the child rapist had done but we are literally talking about 2 scandals per week at minimum. What you saw there is not a man who is out of the loop, what you saw in display was one of the true American values: “willful ignorance”
The MAGA slogan: Don’t bother me with facts, my mind is made up.
like cement: thoroughly mixed and permanently set
The only future for the world is the fact that most Boomers will be dead in the next 10 years.
I have definitely heard the “I know you don’t like tRump…” intro to a statement from his supporters (who happened to be family or friends) at least a few times before. It’s too early for me to analyze the commonality right now.
It’s lampshading to deflect negative reactions.
“I said I know you don’t like him, you don’t need to keep repeating it.”
When all you consume is garbage like Fox News and Newsmaxx, you never see like 95% of the shit he does.
I hear you and I want to acknowledge that people are complex and many otherwise good people are caught in these echo chambers doing or supporting bad things.
That said, it’s no fucking excuse to not educate yourself and stay up on the news.
These people barely understand that different news sources exist. They just learn things from “the TV”.
“Social Media? I think my nephew told me about that once in 2014, but I can’t remember what it is.”
it’s no fucking excuse to not educate yourself and stay up on the news.
you mean watch Fox news on the TV?
No excuse, but that anger seems to only exacerbate the issue. For what its worth, i think the information age has created a huge curse of knowledge between generations and social economic groups and social media is being weaponized to increase this phenomenon
The “curse of knowledge” is a cognitive bias where experts or informed individuals fail to accurately imagine what it is like not to know something, assuming others share their level of understanding. This leads to poor communication, teaching difficulties, and overestimating others’ knowledge. It differs from the Dunning-Kruger effect, where people with low ability overestimate their competence.
The bar has fallen hasn’t it? Dubya had a lower rating and he at least handled himself with more decorum than Trump even has the capacity for. This 33 needs to drop below 20.
New lows/highs in polling are definitely worth reporting, but we also shouldn’t overinterpret individual polls. Nate Silver’s approval tracker still has Trump at 39.3% approval, just below the 40% line.
So what I’m trying to say is: It’s still much much worse than y’all think. High costs of living, cruelty towards immigrants and non-white citizens, blatant corruption, wars, and all that together doesn’t even move the needle that much.
Just to be clear, this is not a recognition of a poor political choice. This is a mere demonstration of the representation made of the US citizen. Nothing has ever really come from an approval rating, and poor ratings have done little other than throw some insults around. Even as a record low, this just shows the truth about how well we’re truly represented, and because of its lack of consequence, it’s also a representation metric we’re willing to accept unless we fight back.
Who, exactly, is shocked by these numbers? Even Tucker Carlson is flipping.
You know you’ve fucked up as a republican when even Tucker won’t back you anymore. I mean, that dude is the lowest of lowlifes and even he is like yo man this is too far…
This seems organized, as even the conservative talking heads outside of the US are now turning on Trump. Perhaps their boss sent them a note.
“Hey, you know what’s a good distraction from the Epstein files? Let’s just throw the dirtiest mf under the bus when it starts becoming inevitable, the rest of the world will forget all about us having anything to do with it!!!”
Rats look extremely organized when they’re fleeing a sinking ship.
What’s shocking is that there are still 33 % of people who approve.
Have you met Americans? About 50% of the people in rural America that I grew up with are the dumbest people. Poor as crap, but keeps voting against their best interest. I’ll never understand it
In my experience it’s down to a horrid mix of tribalism, lack of education, and propaganda which further enflames the former two. How can folks better themselves if they can’t even fathom that their so called leaders are the ones fucking them over. This is why gas price is so notable because it increases the price of everything and propaganda doesn’t fill an empty stomach.
In an age where you have the breadth of the worlds knowledge at your fingertips there is absolutely no reason that anybody should be ignorant. ESPECIALLY about politics. You can learn anything you want, about anything, all you have to do is some unbiased searching.
The ability to parse information and disinformation is a skill like any other which requires the wisdom and humility to fully apply. A lot of folks grew up in near complete information bubbles and are incapable of even knowing that there may be a different path, there are legitimately people who think all Democrats are possessed by the literal capital D Devil, how the fuck do you even begin to unravel and parse that without just killing propagandists and preachers?
I grew up on the edge of that environment and was lucky enough to break free from it all around 2015/2016 since Trump reminded me of those false smiling CPS workers who fucked me over repeatedly trying to put me with my rapist father. But most folks don’t have that type of automatic response to things, hell some suppress it to better fit in for sake of sanity.
Come at it like you would a cultist be it Scientology, Mormonism, or Seventh day Advenentists. Because that’s effectively what it is since half this shit was being built up as far back as the 60s and most of these poor bastards weren’t even alive at the time.
Sending you a virtual hug. Glad you got out and I hope you’re healing.
I’m so sorry that you went through that. It’s awful. And yes I do understand how cultish those people are, it’s just so frustrating.
They’re polling landlines and people that answer calls from ‘unknown’ so the actual numbers are drastically lower
