        40% approval? As a non-american, I’m actually curious what kind of propaganda is still convincing these people.

          Cult mentality largely. And a bunch of people who don’t pay attention, haven’t lost their jobs and still answer pollsters.

          He won the election with 49% of the vote. I think the majority of those people just have the “let him cook” mentality. Like Trump knows what he’s doing and this lull in the economy is temporary pain that will be replaced by the greatest economy ever. That’s the most generous interpretation I can given

            I could somehow understand that in 2016. Not everyone knew that he was an absolute moron. People in Europe knew, Mexicans knew, etc, but somehow Bob in Pennsylvania thought that the serial bankruptcy guy was a great businessman. Whatever.

            But in 2024 after the first term, the treason, the criminal convictions, the rapes, etc… it’s inexcusable.

                The right-wing propaganda machine has gotten very good at blasting “The Democrats are DESTROYING THE NATION” across every channel they have whenever there’s a non-Republican in power. Anyone who listens to it will never vote D, no matter what - because they believe that everything Democrats do are aimed at stripping rights from citizens and taking money from their paychecks. That propaganda machine is getting a broader and broader foothold as moneyed interests continue to gain ground.

      Lmao so he’s both the first AND second worst president of all time. He’s more racist than Woodrow Wilson, dumber that George W. and more corrupt than Warren G. Harding.

      I wish we wasn’t a narcissist so he could feel the deep shame that he should about that.
