Political Memes

there are a LOT of severely uneducated inbred racist bigots in this country. pretty much anywhere in the south, or any isolated rural area anywhere--that's what it is

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.

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.

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.

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.

Or firing the jobs agency statistician because the numbers were so bad...

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.

Don't forget, "Stop counting the votes".

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.

Gallup is an employee-owned corporation. i'm not sure where the funding for their presidential approval polling comes from

Dubya's plot arc is WILD.

Not that I've seen. On some issues, he's down a lot, but overall has him in the 37-42 range. Which is about 50 too high

There's a solid core that will never abandon him, and a squishy shell that could, but only consumes right wing propaganda
