Disapproval is a temporary condition, anyway. Soon enough, it'll be illegal (or at least dangerous) to express disapproval, and Trump's numbers will be right up there with Putin and Kim.

The most bizarre posts are the "Elon Musks polls plummet" kind. That fucker wasn't even elected.

Even if people do care they'll clearly forget how much they hated him 4 years later...

They won't until 2028.

Also, the nearest office is three states over.

So, some good news, when you are forced into an involuntary road trip to get your daughter or granddaughter an abortion you can use verifying your identity to social security as a cover to avoid being deported to El Salvador.

All my life, I've watched the US slide. But it's crazy it's falling apart right now. Seems surreal for some reason.

I care about Americans and America. There are many good people, who care about me, and us. They deserve to thrive in a secure, prosperous country. I don't want to discount a nation just because of the idiots.

All roads lead to Rome.

There will be no more elections, or the elections will be falsified Russia-style.

We're going to test this hypothesis soon enough. Two big gubernatorial races in Virginia and Pennsylvania this year. The "voting no longer matters" crowd is going to assert that these will be landslides for heavy MAGA conservatives, I'm presuming?

We've also got five out-of-cycle vacancy elections for House seats happening, two of which are scheduled for April 1st. FL-1 already had a primary for the GOP position, while the Dem candidate ran uncontested. FL-6 had primaries for both R and D candidates. Have these elections already been rigged? Is the outcome predetermined?

It’s game over in the US.

You wouldn't be the first one to make this claim.

The End of History and the Last Man is a 1992 book of political philosophy by American political scientist Francis Fukuyama which argues that with the ascendancy of Western liberal democracy—which occurred after the Cold War (1945–1991) and the dissolution of the Soviet Union (1991)—humanity has reached "not just ... the passing of a particular period of post-war history, but the end of history as such: That is, the end-point of mankind's ideological evolution and the universalization of Western liberal democracy as the final form of human government."

...

In 2014, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the publication of the original essay, "The End of History?", Fukuyama wrote a column in The Wall Street Journal again updating his hypothesis. He wrote that, while liberal democracy still had no real competition from more authoritarian systems of government "in the realm of ideas", nevertheless he was less idealistic than he had been "during the heady days of 1989". Fukuyama noted the Orange Revolution in Ukraine and the Arab Spring, both of which seemed to have failed in their pro-democracy goals, as well as the "backsliding" of democracy in countries including Thailand, Turkey and Nicaragua. He stated that the biggest problem for the democratically elected governments in some countries was not ideological but "their failure to provide the substance of what people want from government: personal security, shared economic growth and the basic public services ... that are needed to achieve individual opportunity." Though he believed that economic growth, improved government and civic institutions all reinforced one another, he wrote that it was not inevitable that "all countries will ... get on that escalator"

But it's not a game and it's never over.

Trump may not care about approval ratings, but representatives and senators care about keeping their seats more than anything else.

If baby boomers reject republican candidates, they’ll turn against Trump.

It's not over until the fat lady sings. At the very least, tank Tesla's stock via protest while you still can.

It's straight outta the conservative playbook. It's how their entire rotten brains work.

All these articles are pure hopeium. I check his approval rating daily hoping my country will gain some sense. His approval is higher than his first term. Half the population has has their brains turned to scrambled eggs by social media. And I get the irony of saying this on social media.

People are impressionable and the tech bros who control movement of information have fallen in line behind Trump. It's going to be a bumpy ride y'all.
