I don’t care if Trump voters are getting what they want or not. I’m waiting for the day they get what they deserve.
Still as slow-witted as ever. They are probably getting what they deserve.
In the town of Waxahachie, Texas, south of Dallas, 28-year-old three-time Trump voter Ryan James Hughes, a children’s pastor, doesn’t see an improvement in his family’s financial situation. He said the medical bills haven’t declined.
But, he said, “I’m not looking to the government to secure my financial future.”
I’m sure he said the same thing when he and others were claiming 2024’s economy was the “worst ever” (LOL).
Oh, and of course…out comes the “both sides” bullshit when Republicans are unable to overlook how awful Republicans are:
Phyllis Gilpin, a 62-year-old Republican from Booneville, Missouri, praised Trump’s ability to “really listen to people.” But she doesn’t love his personality.
“He is very arrogant,” she said, expressing frustration about his name-calling. But she said the divisive politics go both ways: “I really, honestly, just wish that we could all just not be Democrat or Republican — just come together.”
Yes, the “divisive politics go both ways”. People protesting fascism are just as bad as those that cheer on and carry out the fascism…both sides. It’s far better to find a neutral position between those that want to murder and deport everyone that’s not a conservative cishet xtian…and those that don’t want that.
There is little sign overall, though, that the Republican base is abandoning Trump. The vast majority of Republicans, about 8 in 10, approve of his job performance, compared with 4 in 10 for adults overall.
Republican voters are fanatical.
They intentionally live in world of alternative facts.
They don’t see any improvement in their lives, but they’re told things are better, so you believe Fox news or your own wallet? You believe Fox News of course.
They intentionally live in a world of
alternative factslies.FTFY
Are brown people getting hurt? Then they are getting what they wanted from his second term.
The sad reality is that his approval rating isn’t even at its lowest, and hasn’t even moved appreciatively since November.
That page is still showing his average dropping a whole point in less than a week, and it seems like almost everyone else is showing an even more pronounced slide (arc)
In RealClearPolitics’ straightforward polling averages, Trump’s net job approval dropped from minus-8.6 percent on January 9 to minus-13.2 percent a week later. Silver Bulletin’s more nuanced averages place his net approval at pretty much the same place: minus-13.1 percent. At the relatively new FiftyPlusOne site, Trump’s net approval is all the way down to minus-16 percent. The freshest polling is unusually negative, with CNN showing minus-19 percent net approval (40 percent approval, 59 percent disapproval). Marist is showing minus-18 percent net approval (39 percent approval, 57 percent disapproval), and Reuters-Ipsos is showing minus-17 percent net approval (41 percent approval, 58 percent disapproval). For a while now, even Trump’s favorite polling outlet, Rasmussen Reports, has placed his job approval well underwater (net approval is minus-8 percent now).
I think his approval rating is close to reaching its floor. It could maybe fall down to somewhere between 37 and 33% and then that’s the lowest it goes. That many people are just hardcore believers and will never stop supporting him. They will be talking about Trump for the next few decades no matter what happens to him.
When he dies they are going to think it was faked and will be talking about Trump sightings 50 years from now the way loonies talk about Elvis sightings.
Nevermind that it would mean Trump would be 130 years old, reality isn’t the world they live in.
In the link I sent, his approval average hasn’t moved more than .2% in the last week. RCP is actually showing a higher approval rating than my linked one from Nate Silver. If there’s any meaningful difference it just looks like it’s because RCP has a shorter time window they average over.
In the link you sent
His net approval rating in our average dropped from -12.0 on Monday to -12.9 today.
RCP is actually showing a higher approval rating than my linked one from Nate Silver.
I think the important part is that the RCP one is also headed down

Public opinion might change in a week when we get distracted with the next thing, and I think either way it’s going to have to get a lot more intensely negative to have any kind of impact, but I think at least there is good reason to believe that most Americans are upset by the murder of Renee Good specifically and ICE brutalizing the country generally
We really need him to break through the 40% approval threshold. That’s where impeachments tend to happen.
All this to distract from a tangerine turd’s lusty felonies.
The one with his daughter or the ones with Epstein or the one with his ex-wife? There’s so much rape, pedophilia, and incest it’s hard to keep track.
