We need to regulate all forms of media. Brain broken right wing wealth hoarders are beaming their bizarre worldview into the minds of grandma and grandpa.
I live in the deep south and the people down here will cut their own foot off for the president if he asked them to. They don't know how to think for themselves and their whole identity is racism and hate. You cannot ask them any political questions without them getting angry, because you are questioning their intelligence in their mind.
So the disapproval rating will stay around this level because you cannot save any of those cult members.
Ugh. I dislike titles like this.
Lowest high? Highest low?
Just say “record lowest” or “lowest ever recorded” or something.
The amount of people angry at Trump is higher than ever before
I'm all for bullying papers over shitty headlines but, honestly, this isn't one of them.
There should be a rule that when approval ratings go below 50%, there's a new election
There should be a rule that when president rapes children, there's a new election.
Or a judge that he himself appointed can't "indefinitely postpone" sentencing when he's convicted of 34 felonies. Or that someone convicted of 34 felonies directly resulting from election interference can't even fucking run. But here we are…
Or when it is proven he raped children in the past. He should not only be removed from office, he should be in prison
Hell, he was proved to have raped an adult woman in a valid court of law! THAT should be grounds for both removal from office and prison. We shouldn't have to lower the bar to even more monstrous deeds. A proven rapist should not be in office. Full stop.
This is one of many reasons, he shouldn't have been allowed to run for office in the first place. The insurection is another one
Don't forget trying to coerce state election officials of trying to "find" more votes aka commit election fraud.
As if manipulating political state was not easy enough already.
None of this matters because at the end of the day the American electorate is just too stupid for any of this to count for anything.
They're always going to vote for the next hard R that will promise them that they'll make it all White and now you'll probably won't have a choice but to vote for the hard R in many states going forward.
hard r?
In reference to the "N word," a slur directed at Black people (rhymes with "bigger"). Rappers tend to use a version that ends on a kind of soft vowel sound ("-ah" or -"uh") whereas racists are known to use the "hard r" ending. Republicans tend to be racist and also are depicted on TV as having an R next to their name to denote party affiliation. So this user is playing on the double meaning here, "hard R" being in reference to Republican racism.
I disapprove so much it should count multiple times.
How many years have I been reading this headline? Too damn many
No no. It went from 60% to 62% This is a historic event. Only 38% of Americans like his policies now. Only 38% would take up arms to defend him. Only 38% would kill you to protect the files. Only 38%
Only 38% of Americans like his policies now
Which means nothing because Magatards would vote for him anyway and Libs would just bravely stay home... again
Only 38% would take up arms to defend him.
Which again means nothing... the military is still doing the pedophile's bidding regardless
Only 38% would kill you to protect the files.
Ok, now I am just depressed
38% is still a lot of people that's more than 1/3.
According to Google, 38% is roughly the amount of people who have the most common of the four blood types
And it's somehow the lowest it's ever been every single time, with the exact same numbers. It's unreal.
I am here to promise you that conservatives will vote for the next one to come along.
And it's not like conservative candidates are going to get any better from here on out.
I'm not convinced Americans will get to vote for president again
They're not the brightest, which we all know tends to correlate strongly with conservatism. I'll always remember the idiots in 2004 who voted for a second W. Bush term because "he made this mess, now he needs to clean it up".
That's like hiring an incompetent employee who messed up a mission-critical project and not only took no accountability, but verifiably lied about their actions, yet you continue employing them to finish the project.
What do you think the bunker is for. Dude is not leaving alive. Let's hope he follows Hitlers lead and eats a bullet soon.
Palantir data center, like the $350 M one they sold Israel
It's obvious that disapproval ratings mean nothing yet the media machine constantly spits that up. I guess it makes all of us anti-trump folk feel a bit better while the brazen pedophile stumbles ever upward.
It does. It reflects the general population's approval and therefore affects the decision making of politicians looking for reelection.
I totally agree, if what is being reported is true. Is it a small group of spin doctors or the general population?
I don't know how it is done on the US, but it'll always be samples, of course. Which does not make it a useless result at all, statistics on a population sample can be true for the full population if the sample is well done.
Typically polling agencies will not pick people at random to answer their questions. There is always criteria they respect to have a valid sample. It is of course not an exact science, but done properly and transparently (that's where I don't know if the US does it right) it is very powerful.
As much as I like seeing the high disapproval numbers, I find it a bit disappointing how many people will turn on their president over gas prices. I mean, after all the insane shit this guy has pulled, all it takes is a buck or two more per gallon to turn them. We aren't even in a shortage situation. No lines. Nothing.
As someone else put it: "I'm fine with rapes and pedophilia, but I draw the line at higher gas prices!"
I think it’s more a case that the people for whom gas prices are A Thing have now joined all the people who already disapproved of him… so another 5% of the population, who believed his lies right up until there was no denying that his actions were hitting their pocketbooks.
But that's the point: the suffering of others, which they could prevent simply by voting, wasn't enough for them. It wasn't until it hit them in the pocketbook this way (after reduced healthcare and still-unmaintained infrastructure and tariff tax and, and, and) in addition to all this other ways it preventably hit them in the pocketbook already, that now they jump on board the harm-reduction bandwagon.
There are simply no more arguments for supporting this man that make sense logically; and there haven't been for 10 years (before his first narcissist orade if fools), of course, but the apology now needs to be a little more sincere.
Yea. There are by now hundreds of valid reasons to kick that guy, and gas prices are the deal breaker?
Many Americans just seem to hate all other humans
Many Americans just seem to hate all other humans
I would say it's more pathological indifference, likely spawned from the idolization of "rugged individualism". I'm often reminded of a nearly decade-old article titled "I Don't Know How To Explain To You That You Should Care About Other People".
No one has ever seen (disapproval) ratings this high!
It's good to take a step back every once and a while, and remember that at one time we reported approval ratings...
There's a psychological effect coming into play here.
We need to go back to:
38% approve of trump
It hits 100% different
AKA 38% total idiots.
Still way too high
Keep in mind that a lot of Americans are really stupid.
Americans are groomed to be stupid by the corporate media.
Wow, 25% of independents still approve of him. Insane.
