Lower. It needs to be lower. The idiots are still not suffering enough.

30% of Americans are dumber than a bar of soap.

[–] sirboozebum@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Hilter had about that approval rating at the end of WWII.

Berlin was destroyed, tens of millions dead, and a country divided in half.

Still about 30%.

And those 30% kept going until they were killed, and after the war they kept having Nazi club meetings until they died. You do not change polarized opinions.

And Hitler didn't even have online bots propping him up.

And 60% dumber than a barrel of hair.

You can fool some of the people all of the time.

Who cares anymore? I was here for the very first "Trump achieves lowest approval rating" story and they just keep coming. More and more of them. It's become meaningless.

It’s the whole messaging in media in general. 3 good examples of this: Meidastouch, David Parkman and Brain Tyler Cohen.

Everyday it’s “Trump receives major blowback in stunning court order that he can’t recover from”. Or similar headlines. Meanwhile shit just steadily continues to chug along shitcreeck. At some point saying things like that loses its meaning.

The messaging should read “US empire crumbles and takes the rest of the world with it” that should be a bit more trustworthy and correct.

Yeah, poll ratings are pretty useless when we are talking about dictators. That is the main thing about them being dictators.

[–] Pringles@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Still at 33%. Surely you can disapprove harder than that, dear Americans?

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

A lot of European politicians would dream of 33% approval rate...

I knew this would be here somewhere.

[–] brownsugga@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Lowest approval rating is 33% lol 1 in 3 ppl still think he's great

[–] oyo@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

I never used to believe in good and evil. These fuckers are evil

[–] favoredponcho@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

That is down from what was his previous floor of like 39%. Hopefully, this shows some cracks forming. That 6% of people are probably living amongst the 33%, so hopefully their attitudes spread a bit more readily to the remainder.

[–] homes@piefed.world 5 points 1 day ago

I saw one over the weekend that said 36%

[–] ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com 43 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Except for his cult who still love him 💯

[–] Blum0108@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Fewer by the day

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh no, what're we going to do about it?

Oh.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 4 hours ago

Best we can do is military dictator for life.

[–] core@leminal.space 19 points 1 day ago

33% is still too damn high

[–] Unleaded8163@fedia.io 20 points 1 day ago

lowest approval rating so far

[–] pentastarm@piefed.ca 13 points 1 day ago

That poll really slammed him! Good job everybody! Crisis averted.

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Makes you wonder why he doesn't seem concerned with it anymore at all, plowing ahead with whatever, $200 oil, complete Middle East infrastructure loss in a war literally nobody wants, spending 6 trilly in just over a year, it all seems like it's NBD.

I find it hard to imagine they have that attitude because they know renewables will benefit.

[–] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Well, if you can’t vote anymore, why should you be concerned?

This noob is a fail lord and pwned
