A CNN/SSRS survey of 1,245 U.S. adults shows that 63 percent are unhappy with Trump’s performance as president, the highest figure of either of his terms.#

    this. the most shocking thing to me is how low it is for disapproval. What would it take for those folks to disprove? We literally have masked paramilitary grabbing folks off the street.

      Stock market collapse/bubble bursy and more aggressive recession indicators. That’s what it will take to really move the needle.

      These things are all bad if you are paying attention and have empathy. But the number of people being DIRECTLY impacted is still too small for it to affect that 37% of consistently stupid, selfish idiots. It will need to take more impact, for millions of people, and more than gradually worsening prices and things.

      You gotta account for the bigots, intellectually challenged, sociopaths, illiterate, old and senile, etc. If you’ve worked retail, you might even be surprised it’s only 37% of people who lack critical thinking or empathy.

        Yeah and I sorta feel it. I know this is not nearly on the level but I was coming back to my car after putting the shopping cart in the return carousel to watch a woman push hers to the side of her car and get in. The return carousel let me be clear was behind us like 3 parking spaces distance down. So as she pulled out I grabbed her cart and walked the excruciating few steps to put it in the return. I then mopped my brow from my superhuman effort, got in my car, and rode away. I swear the effort bar for people to do their part is so incredibly low.

          It may not cause excessive damage but it’s certainly a red flag. One of those signs that someone is probably a shitty person, like being rude to wait staff or yelling at nurses that are trying to help them. But hey, it’s been proven that you can be a scummy piece of shit and still become president.

      I’d imagine a lot of those people are on food stamps so that’ll hopefully impact that disapproval as well. This is pre-losing snap, it’ll be interesting to see polls after.

      You’ve got to remember that for most people living outside of cities, or living in red cities, this might as well not exist. Hell I bet even within big cities you might not be exposed to it depending on the neighborhood. You’d only really know through the news, and they don’t get their news from anywhere that would show them the truth.

      If by chance word actually gets back to them that something really is happening, it’s already been carefully run through the Republican spin machine, where this is all very legal and very necessary to “restore order” - where resisting is the real anti-American thing to do.

      What would it take to collapse the fantasy-land Trumpers inhabit on the daily? I’m not sure. You’re fighting 50 years of conservative propaganda for some of these folks - Trump is just the latest at the helm. They won’t be swayed easily.

        I mean again. Even their own footage shows it. Their videos honsetly makes me ill because of how they try to make it out like its something good.
