Summary
Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating of any newly elected U.S. president since World War II, except for himself in 2017.
While his immigration policies and government downsizing have support, controversial moves—like ending birthright citizenship and renaming the Gulf of Mexico—face strong opposition.
Economic concerns, particularly rising prices, remain a major issue for voters.
Analysts say Trump’s popularity will likely hinge on broader economic and immigration policies, with potential political consequences for Republicans in the 2026 elections.
If Democrats are better than Republicans, then they’re the only option we currently have.
If there’s only one option then the idea that we might have had a choice is merely a delusion.
Half of the one option passes completely different legislature than the other half, so maybe get your delusions checked.
Could you finish that thought? It sounds like you’re admitting that the Democrats are too divided among themselves to effectively resist the Republicans and that would seem to confirm my argument that the voters is this country do not have the agency to justify blaming them for the outcome of the election.
Lmao you can’t even follow the setup of your own centrist hypothetical?
What centrist hypothetical? My argument is non-hypothetical and based in a question of agency rather than political orientation.
