I am utterly agog that at this stage, he still has 36% of the people…. Are they completely tuned out where they’re not watching the news and somebody shops for them or something? 🤷‍♀️

Angus Young's avatar

I couldn't figure that out either Suzanne. My human brain just can't get an understanding on the 36 percent. I humanly just cannot find a way to understand all of those people - I have tried using as many arguments against myself as I can. It just "DOES NOT COMPUTE" in my brain.

Vivi Survivor's avatar

Don't break your own brain trying to figure out their thinking. They don't think. They are motivated by knee jerk thinking, low self-esteem and hatred, pretty stupid stuff for an adult with values.

Angus Young's avatar

Yes. And most of them seem to be uneducated or of low IQ, just like TRUMPSTEIN. He appeals to ignorance.

Vivi Survivor's avatar

Yes, he does appeal to ignorance, but to hatred as well. At least that's true of the working and middle class. The wealthy, well they only care about money and themselves.

Russ's avatar

Yes and it seems to be working great for the wealthy. As long as corporations fund and buy elections this is what we get more of this.

They Only Care About Their Tax Breaks, All the Ways The Rich Avoid Paying Their Fair Share of Taxes, & Screw People Who Work For Them

I'm totally disgusted that anyone could possibly still like him. My brain just can't process it either.

Tracy Kohlbeck's avatar

My guess it, they're people who primarily ingest Fox, OAN and other far right media exclusively. Easily lied to.

Angus Young's avatar

That is why it is called FUX NEWS.

😂 When they’re not on their OxyContin or other shyt…

David's avatar

Even bush 2 had close to that %, I think that's the hardcore repub base for any repub. But yes, 36% hardcore idiotic imbeciles seems to be margin.

Russ's avatar

Not that hard to understand. That number does not represent those who like Trump. More likely 36% do not like Democrats. A good percentage live miserable lives, have subpar IQs and see the chaos as a way to spread the misery.

Easy to blame education, however the failure lies with the decline of the family. Why marry when you can get the "benefits" without the obligations? What little is left is now being extinguished by inflation. The negative rot you see on tv and the net does not lift America. Just glorifies the downward spiral.

When Dems come back into power, they need to give all Americans something we can all be proud of like universal healthcare. I have little hope for a better day. They will probably go back to the same sad playbook that elected Trump in the first place. Open borders (catch and release), pushing for racial and sexual equality at all costs (reparations and transgender rights), lots of free stuff like forgiving student loans. Dems still treat crime as a failure of society and not that of the individual.

Biden had a perfect opportunity to arm up Ukraine to defeat Russia. Instead he was more worried about oil prices and upsetting the Russians by allowing Ukraine to attack Russia.

Neither party has a plan to make America "great". Just keep the stock market juiced, the donors to keep on giving and whatever it takes to home fires burning. More debt, more promises to keep themselves in office.

Wake up America. Term limits, take away pardon authority, absolute limits on corporate meddling in politics.

Alison's avatar

It’s mind boggling but it shows how insidious Fox and those other far right tv news and podcasts are. The 36%ers watch that stuff with no buffer of other more neutral news sources. Total brainwashing.

Vivi Survivor's avatar

They love their racism far more than they love their own kids' and their chances for a future. How tragic for the entire world.

Racism is not exclusive to one party. Dems have used it against Repubs to the point whites are sick of being portrayed as slave holders and bigots. If truth be told it was central to why Trump got elected.

What makes it so hypocritical, it is mainly white Dems scolding white Repubs as if they are somehow morally superior. They do not live in in black neighborhoods , do not send their kids to the inner city schools. When the crime statistics disproportionately show blacks are incarcerated and involved in crime at higher percentages, they yell discrimination and police brutality. The mainly liberal press puts white on black crime on the front page and the reverse gets ignored or buried in page 10 with no mention of the race of the perpetrator.

Until we have an honest discussion of crime and poverty, I see little hope that either party can make a dent.

Angus Young's avatar

I often wonder if they would still support him if he had raped THEIR daughters.?

Vivi Survivor's avatar

Good question! However, some dads and moms don't really care about their sons and even less their daughters. The birthrate is the USA is going down. We need immigrants if we wanna keep a tax base. Once again, trump and his supporters prove pure moronic.

Russ's avatar

The rich already have their money. The game is to keep it and control govt so they can keep more of it thru trusts and tax avoidance. US should not spend more than it earns in taxes.

The tax code is rigged so the top stay there. I fully understand the rich do pay most of the taxes. However it is still not totally fair when salaries get taxed at a higher rate than stock market (ponzi scheme) earnings. Everyone should pay the same rate regardless of source. Gains on stock should be taxed just like the property taxes on the rising value of homes.

Stock market is one of the biggest drivers of inflation with rising valuations. One of the reasons is that it is tax deferred. Yet interest on savings in a bank get taxed every year even if you do not withdraw it.

Drakossi's avatar

Exactly how in the heck can anyone still support this oaf, unless they are just the same, maga, racist, evil, money hungry and or idiots, pick one or put them together they are interchangeable, then again there is newsmax and faux news and cbs. and a few others, that should be step one in healing america, require if any news reports opinion or anything other than straight verified news they be labeled as such with a disclaimer. 'The following is opinion and not news, nothing we say can be verified or fact checked.', of course most of the folks that watch that crap either cant read or won't read.

StephenieW's avatar

The news? You mean the same lame liberal loons who hate Trump and every conservative on earth.

Trump told us what he was going to do and he's doing it. He is doing it. Not a cadre of wingers who want power like during dead head Bidens administration. The same haters are out there hating(and being paid for it). 🙄

Douglas Gilligan's avatar

I figure at least half of them are the pure haters. They know the facts and hate 'somebody' or some group so much that they just do not care. The other half are simply too 'programmed' to question the war they are in. Yes, they see it as a war and see Democrats as evil, and Trump as their savior. Sad but true that when you look hard and deep, on any given subject, you can always find about 15% who believe the most absurd thing possible.

Angus Young's avatar

Well then let the "potential bloodbath" begin.

Jason Merchey's avatar

**caveat: the midterms might not happen.

^^that is how to responsibly report this alleged good news. IMHO.

Angus Young's avatar

Yes, it's really scary. And we cannot ALLOW it to scare us! WE really need each other more than ever before. WE are the ones that can non violently bring this country to a stall.

Laura Pizzicara's avatar

Agreed. And very, VERY frightening…

Jason Merchey's avatar

Oh gosh sometimes I can't relax because it preys on my mind. If I had one wish, it probalby would be that the midterms go off without a hitch. I see our side gaining somewhere between 30 and 60 House seats and maybe a Senate seat. So it will be akin to the riders of Rohan appearing high on the hillside with the sun rising at their backs....to use a Tolkien analogy. Simile. You get the picture :)

Angus Young's avatar

It is now up to us to non violently shut the country down. Period. Voted in officials "ain't done a thing".

Mary Ellen's avatar

He won't care, although it will hurt his ego. Tripling his wealth since becoming president, I believe, is what he really cares about.

David's avatar

The only thing

David W. Sutton's avatar

Trump should not have been allowed to run based on his participation in an insurrection, as a starting point. Unfortunately that ship has sailed because greed, racism and other factors prevented congress from doing their job, not to mention the bought and paid for supreme court. I'd like to see a democratic platform focused on the working class, universal healthcare funded by raising taxes on millionaires and corporations, and preserving the environment for future generations. Get off fossil fuels, especially oil, and invest the tax breaks currently given to oil companies into education and green energy.

Trixie2u's avatar

First Felon will try very hard to rig the elections. He’ll be bribing everyone who he thinks will “find” him more votes. Republicans will create roadblocks. And, of course, they are going to lie lie lie.

PpPatrick's avatar

Lying liars always seem to lie. Who would have thought??

Hound's avatar

I don’t really see this as a positive. About 40% of people still approve of him. Those people must be the scum of the Earth. Clearly there’s too much scum in America.

If we were a good country with good people in it his approval rating would be 0%. The only thing is motivating them is their own personal well-being and greed and not the fact that Donald Trump is the epitome of evil and so the people in his orbit.

I don’t want any feel good news especially if it’s not really feel good. Other presidents have had low approval rates who weren’t complete scumbags.

Here is what I see is good news. Trump leaves the White House alive or in a body bag along with the rest of the Nazis.

The constitution is amended so that this will never happen again. Then the trails start and these criminals are punished to the letter of the law. Traitors and insurrectionists her executed. And sorry David, violence can solve a lot of things if it is applied properly. They’re talking about impeaching Noem. The word impeach is a stupid word. She needs to be removed if we want a country that is based on laws and justice. People like her can be asked to step down and if they don’t they could be told to step down and if they still resist they should be removed. But the bitch in handcuffs and maybe she’ll accidentally stumbled on a flight of stairs like what Trump did to his first wife Ivana.

Hey David, why don’t you find the medical examiners report on the death of Trump‘s first wife. Good luck with that because you’re not gonna find it. What you will find or bullshit news reports that I’ll say the exact same thing nearly Word for Word.

Angus Young's avatar

By the way, TRUMPSTEINs wife Ivana is buried in the back of his golf course here in New Jersey about 30 minutes from here in Bedminster. It's all grown over with weeds and unattended. She was in the car buddying around with Maxwell when Maxwell was pulling over and collecting young girls, giving them Epsteins phone number. Supposedly Ivana "fell down the stairs" and died. Yah, right. She was in on the whole TRUMPSTEIN thing AND participated as well. He needed to shut her up. She was a piece of crap and involved. And Melania was with Epstein first, and supposedly had sex with Trumpstein on the plane Lolita Express. Epstein introduced Melania to TRUMPSTEIN, supposedly.

Angus Young's avatar

Hello my friend 👋🏻❤️🤍🩵. And your question: "TRUMPSTEIN leaves the white house alive or in a body bag". Brother - you already know my answer to that.👍🏻

David's avatar

If donnie🇷🇺 could go before signing any, all encompassing pardons would so f'n awesome! But, I also think there might be blank pages with donnie🇷🇺's signature in some safe that little stevie miller is the only one knowing the combination to!?

Robert Sandera for president's avatar

I think he's only got like 16% support CNN is now a Trump supporting station because it was bought by Trumper

Just like TikTok Ellison just ruined it

Angus Young's avatar

Yes. And that is WHY I can no longer post pro-democracy comments online anymore

Sherry Somach's avatar

But owning the SC and DOJ and all the sycophants, will this matter?

Shelley Jeffries's avatar

Exactly my thoughts. I have no respect for the majority of the court. I’ll say his name, John Roberts. Forever burned in my memory is him being thanked by trump. How saying an oath meant absolutely nothing to so many. And the lies! Endless lying. We knew it was lies and have had to live with it. I watched the dems frozen as they pussyfooted around for all those months. Strong words from oversight committees, but no accountability. Everyone protected. And we have the Project 2025 family. Ugh!

I can’t think about 2028. We have to go month to month battling evil.

Sherry Somach's avatar

I hope we have mid-terms. I think if the SC gives immunity to ICE, it's game over. Hopefully it won't come to that

Angus Young's avatar

It doesn't matter anymore. Political people haven't done a goddamn thing anyway. It is now up to us to non violently shut the country down, and only WE can do it. And it's our duty now.

Sherry Somach's avatar

It is our duty to do what we can. The people of Minnesota took to the streets in freezing weather and they were upbeat. The speakers were marvelous. I watched it on live, but it probably is on YouTube.

States run elections

Glenda Kathleen Bauerle's avatar

Thank you. This was the confirmation we all needed.

Urban Hermit's avatar

These dismal poll numbers are why Trump must corrupt the midterms to keep Republicans in control of the House and Senate to complete his authoritarian takeover and protect himself and his cronies. He and his operatives will do anything, legal and illegal, to protect Trump. On the front end there are daily reports how they are attempting to suppress the vote by gerrymandering, purging voter rolls, restricting mail-in ballots, reducing access to polling places, etc. There are several prominent Democratic lawyers and organizations fighting these efforts. They include Marc Elias and his Democracy Docket, Norm Eisen and his Democracy Defender, Democracy Forward and the ACLU. On the back end, Trump and his cronies may have corrupted election software with malware that subtly tweaks the ballot counts in close races to favor the desired candidate. While it's always been an unquestionable shiboleth that American national elections are "free and fair" and "safe and secure," because they are run by the states and counties, that may no longer be true now that ballots are counted by electronic scanners running software that is written and controlled by just a couple of companies. Election Truth Alliance and Smart Elections both have ongoing lawsuits challenging the electronic ballot counts in several counties where there were unexplainable statistical anomalies in the 2024 election.

Sheila Smith's avatar

You should get the British to organise your elections, very tightly controlled. Trump will refuse to accept the result if he loses.

Ally Hills's avatar

James Cargill said yesterday that republicans could lose 6/7 seats in the senate yesterday. How good would this be?

Ally Hills's avatar

Sorry autocorrect.

Prices not going down...at the store...$1 more for this or that....say you have 20 items...thats' $20 dollars extra...most carts I see have way more...and he's buildinga golden ballroom....

Angus Young's avatar

Yes, the Golden TRUMPSTEIN Ballroom, and gold leaf everywhere covering everything when I just paid $43.67 for seven damn groceries today. I now break my items into portions and try to add ingredients to make it go further for longer.

MaryKay's avatar

Trump says "affordability is a democrat hoax" a word made up etc. He never had any interest in prices. He has always used the office to get people to make side deals ..it is why his son in law was in Israel "helping" with ideas for rebuilding. The help was making sure they got in on those deals. The people dying in Gaza were irrelevant.

Delores A Haugland's avatar

Ya...the Trump Gaza Casino strip will be built over souls.

MaryKay's avatar

He wont change! Moving Bovino is all optics. Trump wants to be like his BFF Putin and just stay in office as long as he wishes and keep making $ for himself with "side deals" /favors. He has zero interest in Democracy or anything that helps the majority. He is and always will be 100% ( loops Trump math..500%) self serving. He needs to be removed from office. They have a long list, time for Congress and Senate to re read the Constitution.

Angus Young's avatar

Congress and Senate will do nothing. They have not done anything, they are not doing anything, and they will not do anything. That is why I am asking all of us to do our duty as WE THE PEOPLE and non violently bring our country to a halt. The US Postal Service brought the country to a halt years ago. There are even more of US ! WE need to do this.

JMTeddybear's avatar

Remind everybody, Trump has dementia he's gonna be lucky if he lasted another 2 months in office. Gonna look like he at Bernie weekend.😂😂

David's avatar

That donnie🇷🇺 is continually repeating himself says so much to the progression of dementia.
