    if the Dems were actually fighting and offering any sort of meaningful change, they would do FDR numbers because republicans are that bad…so far, it’s still mostly “we’re not Trump”

    Where is the Dems “Project 2028?”

    George Bush had an approval rating as high as 90% immediately after 9/11, but because of his stupid war on terror and destroying the economy, he fell all the way down to a 22% approval rating by the end of his 2nd term

    Trump has a cult which is why he always has an approval rating in the high 30’s no matter how sh*t he is…he’s now at 37% which is the lowest he’s ever been, but as he continues on this path, more and more people will start to jump ship and I could see him falling to 30% which would be only his most loyal meat riders

    10 years from now, everyone will be pretending they were never MAGA like they pretend they were never in favor of spending all those years in the Middle East

    290 days into Donald Trump's term

    The president's net approval rating is -18%, down 0.1 points since last week.

    39% approve, 58% disapprove, 4% not sure. Last updated on November 6th 2025

    The biggest shift away from Mr Trump has been among Americans under 30 years old. His net approval among that group was positive 3 when he returned to the Oval Office. Now it is minus 40. His ratings among Hispanic and black Americans, which began negative, have also plummeted. And white Americans, who approved of him on net by 16 points back in January, are now evenly split. According to analysis by The Economist, every state, save Idaho, has moved against Mr Trump. Oklahoma has swung hardest, from positive 27 net approval to minus 12.

    This would actually be a reasonable thing to say, if DOGE was doing what DOGE claims they are doing. Instead government spending is up.

    Hard to say which book has warped Republican brains more, this one...

    or that one:

    For Trump, it is clearly the former. He believes he can make things happen just by imagining it and then repeating it over and over again. For many Republicans, it is the latter. And yet the two go together--the toxicity of the combo is significantly stronger than the separate strains and prevents a serious attempt at seeing reality.

    What we believe has to be the truth--there's no other possibility.

    people are about to go nuclear if this keeps up

    no jobs, massive layoffs, no wage increases, healthcare premiums on the verge of doubling and tripling, inflation rising, grocery prices skyrocketing, energy bills going up, farmers getting fcked, most of the younger generation having little to no hope of home ownership, and so much more

    even the racist MAGAts will eventually reach a boiling point…all those white supremacist and Christian nationalist talking points don’t quite have the same bite when your stomach is empty and grumbling and you can no longer afford your home

    The funny part is trump has found a new word he wants the gop to start using.....AFFODABILITY :D I cant wait for the masses to start with that BS line to their sheeples. Gas is cheap for sure but not because of anything trump did, the market is flooded and NO one is "drill baby drill", they simply can't afford to. Billionaire trump doesn't realize that a 25% hike any day-to-day things is HUGE to those of us on a budget and then we have ZERO expendable income to do things like go on a cruise, buy some shoes.............things that muck and trump have no concept of. The 2 ladies and Mamdami ran on that, and it resonated with average folks like us. Stay out of the culture crap which is a trap and stick to the economy

    That is a lot of people who will soon have cars repossessed and homes foreclosed. I doubt they will be spending much on Christmas, eating out, entertainment, etc. Just wait until all these people are no longer on the payroll. The unemployment rate is about to surge.

    Not even the most uneducated MAGA could read those reports and still think the economy is fine.
