    Ah yes. As an uhmerican, my primary concern is ‘the economy’, and not the loss of my entire political structure, climate, and rights.

    Anyone else sick of this out of touch bullshit?

    His approval should be near-zero, but we have a whole lotta idiots schooled in the way the qons wanted them to be schooled.

        What I’ll never fully understand are the ostensibly capable knowledge workers that believe the shit Trump says. Our web admin hurts my heart. “Dude, I know you know how to fact check.” In their case, it’s just Christianity.

            Lol I made a comment to another engineer at work that was something like “idk how an engineer could ever be religious due to the fact many think logically”

            Turns out he was very Christian oops

        Hmmm I wonder how accurate this is. It’s very hard to believe that 75% of Americans read below a 6th grade level. Not sure if that’s a testament to how good 6th graders read or not. Or is that 54% inclusive of those that are also illiterate?

    TL;DR: approval down 1% from 45% to 44% over 6 days. Was at 47% on Jan 20. Disapproval up to 51% from 41% though since January.

        In fairness, its only been 30 days since the inauguration, and even though trumps/Musk power grab are batshit insane, many cases illegal, and many unconstitutional, to the average citizen their life hasn’t changed yet. Unless people seek out news and think critically about its implications, they see the lights still come on, there’s still food at the grocery store, gas at the gas pump, and their kids seem the same. They simply aren’t engaged.

        Unfortunately by the time these folks finally notice something’s wrong, many MANY things will be already set in motion with massive future short term and long term consequences.

        Reason why fuck Americans is valid thing to say. He got voted in because most Americans wanted him or were apathetic about him. Americans made this possible. It’s not a small number that is in support.

          That’s something that will probably never change. Our collective IQ has been “room temperature” for a long time.

        They’re not necessarily dumb but they are one track minded. Democrats focus on a wide net approach to governing, voting to help the most people even if it means you personally don’t benefit directly from policies. Takes years for social nets to build up and benefit you/the masses. Republicans won’t vote for you if they don’t directly benefit immediately. That sort of government is short sighted and not concerned with consequences later.

        Okay maybe some are really dumb, I’m in the doctors office waiting right now and I’m overhearing a couple talking about trumps tariffs on chips and they think it’s about potato chips. Like actually.

              I’m still just trying to understand how that would be a bad thing, and tacos are not really even my thing.

              I would just ask that we get Indian, pho, Thai, ramen, etc., food trucks (preferably with veg*n options) on every corner, too! 🤣

                  Ramen shops figured that out already. Big styrofoam container for hot broth, lidded and wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, with the noodles and other delicious mix-ins in one of those sectioned styrofoam containers.

      First of all, that’s within the margin of error, so the headline is pure clickbait copium.

      Second, it’ll take some time for the effects to be reflected in the economy, even with tariffs. Give it time; it will drop further once it impacts people directly.

        Yeah, the delusion is only growing. I saw a woman involved in a state Republican Party post that she “saw through Newsmax’s liberal bullshit” and that while her husband still likes them she “knew the truth”.

        We’ve far surpassed dangerous levels of delusion.
