A new AP-NORC poll finds nearly a year into President Donald Trump’s second term, his work on the economy hasn’t lived up to the expectations of many people in his own party.
Still as slow-witted as ever. They are probably getting what they deserve.
In the town of Waxahachie, Texas, south of Dallas, 28-year-old three-time Trump voter Ryan James Hughes, a children’s pastor, doesn’t see an improvement in his family’s financial situation. He said the medical bills haven’t declined.
But, he said, “I’m not looking to the government to secure my financial future.”
I’m sure he said the same thing when he and others were claiming 2024’s economy was the “worst ever” (LOL).
Oh, and of course…out comes the “both sides” bullshit when Republicans are unable to overlook how awful Republicans are:
Phyllis Gilpin, a 62-year-old Republican from Booneville, Missouri, praised Trump’s ability to “really listen to people.” But she doesn’t love his personality.
“He is very arrogant,” she said, expressing frustration about his name-calling. But she said the divisive politics go both ways: “I really, honestly, just wish that we could all just not be Democrat or Republican — just come together.”
Yes, the “divisive politics go both ways”. People protesting fascism are just as bad as those that cheer on and carry out the fascism…both sides. It’s far better to find a neutral position between those that want to murder and deport everyone that’s not a conservative cishet xtian…and those that don’t want that.
There is little sign overall, though, that the Republican base is abandoning Trump. The vast majority of Republicans, about 8 in 10, approve of his job performance, compared with 4 in 10 for adults overall.
They intentionally live in world of alternative facts.
They don’t see any improvement in their lives, but they’re told things are better, so you believe Fox news or your own wallet? You believe Fox News of course.

Republican voters are fanatical.
