Trump had majority disapproval before the elections too, somehow Republicans find the way to win elections with <40% of the electorate, quite frustrating

By rigging the state election boards, and now forcing through even more outrageous gerrymandering we won’t get Congress back without an absolutely huge effort to support the Democrats.

Yeah I said it.

Democrats are their own worst enemy because they keep nominating 'lesser-evil' candidates and expecting everyone to fall in line.

Awful candidates like Kamala are why people don't even bother going out to vote. They recognize the system is rigged from all angles and there is no sign of that changing because of how weak and spineless the 'fall in line' crowd is.

The corporate simps are already gearing up their rhetoric to convince us to vote for fucking gavin newsome over AOC. That's a guaranteed way to get me to stay home, again, but they won't learn because they don't want rich people to pay more in taxes.

Have you tried just eating him?

I assume that meat is rotten. Even if it isn't, I try not to eat meals with that much fat in them.

It means nothing if the maga machine will continue to support them.

Core MAGA will stay with him no matter what, but keep in mind, Americans are mostly idiot vibe voters. The typical voter blames the sitting POTUS and his party for whatever is happening, no matter if POTUS has any control over their complaint. FFS, people blamed egg prices on Biden!

Watch Mamdami's man on the street interviews with NYC Trump voters. Their reasoning boils down to, "My life isn't working out so I blamed Biden and hoped on Trump." With fewer and fewer lives "working out", Trump and the GOP are taking the heat. Notice how hard they're pushing this shutdown as the Democrat's fault? They understand everything I just wrote about.

Bet they're panicking behind the scenes. They have a year and a day until midterms. The economy and inflation is going to get far worse even if Trump stops fucking with it. If the GOP can't manage to rig hell out of the elections, or find a path to call it off, they're getting wiped out, worse than Trump's first term.
