Elections Trump's approval rating

[ShadowRun]

It will go up, it will go down. It will still be higher than Democrat approval, which is what the lefties really need to focus on. You'll need Trump to hit sub 30's to start getting excited. That's how shit the Dems are right now, and I can't imagine that mocking a child cancer survivor is helping.

100%

 

[HereticBD]

Republicans are definitely going to screw all this up and Democrats will be back in the race for 2028.

Yeah, I don't know about that. The Dems have issues beyond their shitty politics. For instance, their donor situation. They're gonna be fighting with a lot less in their piggy bank in 2028. Pissing off their donors is probably the biggest loss they suffered on November 5th.

What you need to focus on is how America's economy looks in 2028. We have 4 years to go, so we'll have to see what happens, but I put it at about an 80% chance Trump's policies blow up in his face and piss Americans off.

I imagine without a once in a lifetime pandemic occurring, it will be doing alright(relatively speaking). I also think that social issues will still be a big factor, and the Dems have a lot of holes to dig out of there. People aren't gonna forget about open borders, anti-criminal justice and mutilating children anytime soon. Certainly not with the Dems hellbent on doubling down on that stupid shit.

I think for the Dems to become a threat again, they will need change from within, and not merely hoping for the other guy to fuck up. They're still bench warmers who aren't gonna get to play, if Lebron goes down.

Who are we kidding, though? There's not gonna be another election. Democracy officially died on November 5th.

During Trump's first term, he had opposition limiting what he was able to do. This go around, he doesn't have to worry about another election and he has practically the entire government behind him. These are two totally different scenarios. The Dems best hope now is that Trump has a lot of rope, and he'll hang himself with it.

Republicans held the House and Senate during the first two years of Trump's first term. Dems have a shot at the House during midterms but not great chances at the Senate. Trump could still have some opposition.

Perhaps.

I still believe this is Trump 2.0 where he's back with a vengeance and things can get ugly real quick. He's been demonized by the left for years and just survived a couple assassination attempts. He's already starting to dismantle things he sees as a problem. He's old and has nothing to lose.

 

[evansusmc2]

Trumps approval rating is sky high, just like the price of eggs

Haven't the dems already admitted that problem started way before January 20th??

I dont give a fuck when it started, I was promised that it would be solved on DAY 1, what day are we on now?

You act like Trump is some kind of wizard that can bring back dead hens. With the amount of egg-laying hen population decimated there is no way to erase that aspect. It would take an act of god and Dr. Strange to fix that. The good news... at least you got something you can yap on Trump about, right??

I'll answer it for you, yes, he did in fact say that so I ask again, what day are we on now?

I know youre too dumb to see past the "left-right, D vs R, Me vs You" nonsense so let me draw this out in crayon for you, no Im not a Lib or a Dem, I supported ole Donnie Big Hands in the last election because I would never vote for a San Francisco Liberal but unlike you I dont blindly follow behind anyone(march, march, march, jarhead) and I dont make excuses for politicians, I expect them to stick to their word which he has failed to do so Im gonna bring it up every damn day

If he cant do it he shouldnt have promised that he would

Now go run along and get your foot locker ready for inspection so you dont gotta clean toilets again

In a vacuum that's a perfectly fair argument but in the wider context of the lead up to the election it can come off as a little hypocritical given how much this kind of thing was talked about and blamed on the previous admin

Republicans are definitely going to screw all this up and Democrats will be back in the race for 2028. However, the future looks grim either way with the sad state of affairs that both parties are stuck in.

How hard is it for either of them to just do well and not fuck up horribly?

Doing what's right while catering to a bunch of simpleton ideologues for votes unfortunately are mutually exclusive efforts. We get what we paid for so to speak.

Only two days in this thing. The day you go in, and the day you get out.

Still Day 1 according to "The Wire" logic.

If he cant do it he shouldnt have promised that he would

It's best not to take any politician literally. You'll be lucky if any of them accomplish even 10% of what they promise on the campaign trail, and that's being generous. At least Donny Two Scoops has the social issues he campaigned on, on lockdown. Economic issues...definitely needs some work. No, Mr. Trump, America is not a real estate company.

I only care about one dang thing, EGGS!!, I love them and I take them very seriously and I am getting sick and damn tired of waiting...

Well you're not getting any of our chickens, I can tell you that. You're gonna have to go to one of those weird vegan stores and find a supplement. I'm sure it all tastes the same...

Trump is popular, because he is an unapologetic and unhinged populist. He is obviously a very talented politician, who knows that truth is secondary to giving the impression of being blunt and entertaining. Moralism, which has been the left's discursive ground, is just annoying and it has gotten stale, with no signs of reinvention.

But politics are woven of personalities, and who knows what lies ahead. If the democrats could reel in someone like Cuban, they would have an advantage over someone like Vance. People take Trump's victory as if the electoral history of the U.S. hadn't been in a perpetual pendulum, relative to who happens to have the more alluring personality at a given time. Politics is about populism, which is why you have people here celebrating anything Trump does or says irrespective of content, or whether it is actually good or bad for the country or even them. The same, obviously, holds for indoctrinated liberals. People take politics as a sport: team blue or red, and let policy become secondary.

People think the 'culture wars' and Trump's victory is what matters. What really matters are the actual results in the economy, labor, international relations and so on. And so far, Trump has been extremely hostile to close allies, teasing a trade war, while prices have not gone down, he has come across as an authoritarian bully threatening to take Greenland, turn Canada into a state, and claiming back the Panama canal. Meanwhile, economic forecasts predict a 1.4% GDP decline for the first quarter of the fiscal year. It's good that they are auditing and evaluating state bloat, and trying to make things run more efficiently, but things are not exactly looking particularly good neither for the local economy nor the international landscape.

People saying 'hahaha we won cry harder' need to grow up.

And I am not a liberal, and did not vote for Kamala.

 

[evansusmc2]

Did he or did he not say he would solve the problem on day 1?

Yes. Did I agree that it could be accomplished? No. The war room posts I posted that say otherwise..... feel free to point them out.

I'll answer it for you, yes, he did in fact say that so I ask again, what day are we on now?

Day? Its been quite a few weeks.

I know youre too dumb to see past the "left-right, D vs R, Me vs You" nonsense so let me draw this out in crayon for you, no Im not a Lib or a Dem, I supported ole Donnie Big Hands in the last election because I would never vote for a San Francisco Liberal but unlike you I dont blindly follow behind anyone

Neither do I and I am on record many times saying we were in the Game Of Lesser Evil Thrones. Neither candidate was great but the lesser of the two evils.

(march, march, march, jarhead)

Been retired from the military since 2019 (20 years active).

and I dont make excuses for politicians, I expect them to stick to their word which he has failed to do so Im gonna bring it up every damn day

No one says you can't bring it up every day. Like I said... at least you have something to do now.

If he cant do it he shouldnt have promised that he would

Yeah true. None of us are saying he should have said that. But our vote was surely gonna be him over a kamalalal kackaling mess.

Now go run along and get your foot locker ready for inspection so you dont gotta clean toilets again

Like I said, been retired since 2019. Spent 30 days on 30 days off vacationing in South American from 2021 - 2024. This past few months I helped coach a HS wrestling team that got 3rd in state. Now I am back on vacation in Medellin, Colombia.

Disney laying off employees at ABC News, polling site 538 is shutting down

Disney is laying off about 6% of its workforce across its ABC News and Disney Entertainment units. The company is "winding down the 538 brand."

Ooops.

Lmao I didn't know 538 was owned by Disney. I'm sure they aren't biased at all.

Oh well, into the 🗑 they go.

Everything is biased if it doesn't confirm your narrow and isolated view of the world as a sweaty Canadian that wants to get annexed by my country. Got it..
