    I find myself increasingly not giving a shit what other people think. They should have realized 6 months ago what would happen and vote proactively. This guy is not acting like someone who cares about future elections. Which should give us a clue what is going to happen next year in the midterms.

    Trump: “I have the best, most beautiful poll numbers. No one has ever had poll numbers like mine. I was told more people like me than anyone else. Elon was telling me the other day about how beautiful I am. He says no one is more beautiful than me. Sure am glad I got him to rig the election. No one can rig an election like him. But those numbers…wow. I bet more people like me than are alive. We should look into making all polls about me.”

      And then the article:

      “The poll shows 1 in 3 Americans support continuing to send random brown people to a gulag in El Salvador on the off chance it lowers grocery prices.”

      If it’s really that hard for people to tell that biden is no longer president, that’s a damning indictment of the biden presidency.

        It’s an indictment of propaganda. Biden’s presidency was 1000x better that the shit-show we have now and if someone can’t tell the difference then they have their head up their ass or are drinking conservative propaganda through a fire-hose.

                Yes, she did plenty wrong… but you cannot evaluate that without the context and alternative

                If you have cancer and they tell you chemo is your only shot at living even thought it will be painful… you cannot set yourself on fire and pretend it was chemo’s fault for not being a better choice

                  Not everything that inflicts pain is a cancer cure. But damn, people who like inflicting pain sure like to pretend it is.

    Also, the lowest IQ, the lowest charisma, the most criminal convictions, the most criminal associates, the most rape accusations, the most bankruptcies, and the most baby mamas. Lets face it he’s a loser and a scumbag.

      lowest charisma

      What? This guy has one of the strongest cult followings of any human being I’ve ever heard of. How is that low charisma?

        I think that says more about his cult than him. I know that I’m not sitting here thinking “oh poor people, if only they could break free from Trump’s stunning charisma and dashing good looks.” I’m actually sitting here thinking that there’s a lot more ignorant, illiterate, inbred, hateful fucking morons on this planet than I previously thought. And even if they all suddenly turn into Democrats, my impression of them as ignorant, illiterate, inbred, hateful fucking morons is never going to change again.

      Approval ratings get weird, someone with a lower approval rating can beat someone with a higher approval rating.

      So relatively fewer people are “excited” about a democrat candidate. If they have to pick between that candidate and Trump, they may still pick the candidate as the best practical option available, but they don’t necessarily “approve” of the choice they are making. People have a hard time mustering “approval” for a milquetoast candidate, even if that person is the least objectionable to a broad set of folks.

      Meanwhile Trump is making a particular sort of folk very happy, in a way no other modern politician has dared to do. Most people may find it highly objectionable driving a lot of disapproval, but you will have the die hard MAGAs ecstatic about stuffing those brown people into vans and locking them up in El Salvador without any due process.

      I mean, last time we gave democrats a majority, they showed themselves untrustworthy by going back on the bulk of their promises.

      And yes, 2020-2022 counts even if you don’t want accountability.

        The changes in approval for each are likely from their own voters. D voters haven’t approved or trusted any R’s for years, so the change in Trumps approval is almost certainly from R voters.

        Likewise, R voters haven’t trusted D’s for decades, so the change in D trust is almost certainly from D voters.

      Oh you just wait and see till midterms come around. Or don’t see but it’s crucial that you wait. Never interrupt the enemy while he’s making a mistake. Once he stops making mistakes, which has to be any day now, that’s when surely somebody will come around and do something.
