I think it’s more a case that the people for whom gas prices are A Thing have now joined all the people who already disapproved of him… so another 5% of the population, who believed his lies right up until there was no denying that his actions were hitting their pocketbooks.

It has immediate impact and they cannot lie about the giant numbers in their face while they pump. Even the dumbest of people can grasp this.

As someone else put it: "I'm fine with rapes and pedophilia, but I draw the line at higher gas prices!"

No no. It went from 60% to 62% This is a historic event. Only 38% of Americans like his policies now. Only 38% would take up arms to defend him. Only 38% would kill you to protect the files. Only 38%

And it's somehow the lowest it's ever been every single time, with the exact same numbers. It's unreal.

I've worked in market research. It's just like the Internet. Bad faith respondents are very common and very eager and they all give exactly the same inane responses.

Maybe their brains are independent from their bodies?

AKA 38% total idiots.

Is it as simple as 38% approve and 62% disapprove? Many polls have something in the middle for “neither approve nor disapprove.”

In those polls, the disapproval rate can move without anything changing in the approval rating, and that’s worth reporting.

Just saying It isn’t entirely either/or.

37% per the article

Keep in mind that a lot of Americans are really stupid.

Most of who is left are the ones who are either rich enough that they want to keep gorging at the corruption trough, or are so stupid they don't know how to turn way.

We'll never do anything about that first group, except punish them harshly when we get the chance, but the stupid ones can be influenced by others who were like them and finally saw the light, and those people are starting to speak out. Carlson has been very noisy, and MTG just posted that TDS now stands for Trump Disappointment Syndrome. MAGAs are very susceptible to that sort of stupid propaganda, and that's the kind of thing that could spread widely among MAGA dopes, like the original meaning did.

It will take time, but we still have 2 1/2 years to work on them. It's unlikely that their love for Trump will increase. It's not like he's suddenly going become competent. At this point, just sowing doubt is a win. As more and more shit piles on top of them, those doubts will flourish, and eventually take over.

Kicking and screaming, on television

They're not the brightest, which we all know tends to correlate strongly with conservatism. I'll always remember the idiots in 2004 who voted for a second W. Bush term because "he made this mess, now he needs to clean it up".

That's like hiring an incompetent employee who messed up a mission-critical project and not only took no accountability, but verifiably lied about their actions, yet you continue employing them to finish the project.

Yep, it's very black pilling to think about sometimes, especially with the Democrats moving farther and farther right along with them...

I'm not convinced Americans will get to vote for president again

hard r?

It does. It reflects the general population's approval and therefore affects the decision making of politicians looking for reelection.

Palantir data center, like the $350 M one they sold Israel

He's dying. I'll be surprised if he makes it another 12 months.

There should be a rule that when president rapes children, there's a new election.

As if manipulating political state was not easy enough already.

Yeah, he has the BEST disapproval, biggest, strongest, most beautiful disapproval.

The amount of people angry at Trump is higher than ever before

I'm all for bullying papers over shitty headlines but, honestly, this isn't one of them.

Followed by "they'll vote R anyways"
