33% is still shockingly high

1/3 people support the pedophile in chief. Lmao. Let that sink in. "Craters" lol

Still too high approval.

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.

"Craters"

Journalist looks at a slow genty downward slope....

Trump will be remembered as the worst president in history.

33% of Americans are so fucking stupid. They're happy to hurt themselves knowing that democrats will also be hurt. It's weird and sick.

Catholics leaving the church because they follow that shitgibbon over the friggin POPE is insane. Really shows they didn't read that book they kept waving at everyone...

The News:

Seems to high.

33% of the US are traitors. Not just to the US, but all of humanity.

That’s a bit more than the number of people who voted for him. So technically he’s doing better than before he went into office.

Which still shows that 33% lack basic skills for poitical reasoning.

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...

Ready for him to lose midterms, have the Reichstag burn down, and have him declare an emergency.

33% are plain dumb.

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.

The Muppet Line is 25%. Those are the people who are either so partisan, so misinformed or so dumb that there is no helping them.

We should be closer to the Muppet Line.

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.

It's not going to get much lower than this. About all that's left are the total morons that wouldn't change if Trump himself had a gun to their child's head, as well as the criminal sociopaths who appreciate the corrupt MAGA environment that makes their occupation so easy and lucrative.

Neither one of those groups is going to abandon MAGA to any great degree. We might get to 30%, or perhaps one or two points lower, but that's about it.

So work on those people around you who are close to quitting, or have recently quit. We don't want them going back, or digging in deeper. They are doubting MAGA right now, so show them what's going on now, while they are slightly receptive.

It’s always 30-something percent in support, every poll.
