But wtf do the polls keep talking about “hits a new low”? It’s been inching for a year now.
That’s still 36% too many. Rapes/bombs children=> what more do you need to know?

His opponent was a woman. Of color.
/s if you need it.
Stealing taxpayer money? Eh at least a white guy does it. Doesn't do his job and just plays golf? Eh, that's so smart. Being a racist dictator? Good, actually. Raping children? Eh, that's someone's children. Bombing brown people? Good, nice. Gas prices go up? Wait a minute, now he does things that impact me directly? I'm gonna vote for him again, but boy oh boy.
He could kill supporters and they'd vote for him harder.
what do you call the handling of COVID and the “don’t mask up it’s just the flu bro” policy, if not killing his own supporters?
He already has
36% are shitheads for supporting a pedo, rapist, felon and murderer.
mass murder and industrial scale rape of children on epstein island (thats then used as bribery material by foreign powers) is bad, sure.. but we all draw the line at gas over 3.96 a gallon!
It’s sad there were people who only voted for Trump for their own gains and now because of it their entire country will fall to pieces.
I'm convinced that ~30-35% of all living beings are complete and utter psychopaths, who are incapable of caring about anything that doesn't affect them on a personal basis. Literally a third of all people going about their lives with no empathy whatsoever. I wonder what the evolutionary purpose for this is...
Probably those without emotions can take riskier and more damming roles of society and real the benefits while indirectly killing everyone else ask the way up the ladder and reproduce with several failed marriages. It’s like an asshole run and dump rogue like for them and they just love seeing the funny number ($) go up
Wow, a whole 1% lower than the previous ‘new low’ months ago? Amazing.
... Now correlate the people in that percentage with income levels and tell us something new...!
I would wager that most of them have very low income and very low levels of education. The mega rich are less than 1% of the population, and use their money to misinform the gullible into voting against their own interests
36% is all the Democrats and that bunch of Republicans that are fine with mass murder, genocide, rape, child rape, extrajudicial actions, work camps, fraud and abuse, and so much more, but draw a line with high gas prices.
Every limbo boy and girl
If you want to understand how 37% can still support Trump, all you need to do is spend a day watching Fox News. It's completely detached from reality and in this Fantasy land they've imagined the president is a heroic figure and all minorities are evil extremists. The 37% get all their news straight from the propaganda machine and refuse to believe any other source is credible.
Keep in mind, Nixon had a 24% approval before resigning, this was before Fox news was even created to run propaganda for conservatives. Even without fox, roughly a quarter of the country will just never change their mind.
Fox News is interchangeable with OAN, Newsmax, Breitbart, and [insert any right-wing white supremacist fascist Nazi broligarch grifting podcaster here].
There's an interesting and distinct difference in flavors of conspiracies supported by viewers of TV news propaganda and the people who doomscroll social media for news.
The Fox News viewers are all believe roughly the same brand of crazy. The social media users build their reality freestyle out of the craziest conspiracies imaginable.

I think we all kinda know that. The next question is harder: what's the response? For the sake of discussion, let's say Dems win the presidency and the house in 2028. What can be done to address the propaganda cult networks?
Here are some thoughts:
- Full court press on conservative news:
- Modify how the press pool operates. Like Hegseth but legal and not dumb.
- Election law violations. Directing and collusion with campaigns (think PAC vs Super PAC).
- Insider trading law violations. The market manipulation is apparent.
- FCC Fair Time rule. If they want to play that way, let's play.
- Anti-trust. Break up Sinclair.
- Address the misinfo directly while avoiding "Ministry of Truth" vibes. Get lower ranking Dems on the news networks BUT
- Very publicly establish fair ground rules for on air discussions. Break the rules and the topic now becomes why the host is a propo shill
- Do a better job of getting lower ranking Dems together and being on the same page. GOP knows how to close ranks. We have a higher purpose.
- Put. Them. In. Jail.
- Why is this so fucking hard.

In a sane county it'd be 3-6%
Sample sizes can fuck anything up, you see if they included me the sheer gravity of my distaste for that man would wreck the scale.
Ah, good ol' Righteous Fury Georg.

How can it still be so high at this point?
It's the same reason Trump got elected in the first place. These people absolutely don't care about doing the right thing. They either do exactly as they're told, or they are simply obsessed with winning. As long as their guy wins, they don't care what he does.
It's insane.
Because the only media they consume is Fox News or something even further right. Just spend an hour watching it and you'll understand why they live in a fantasy land.
