    41% approving is way too high. WTF is wrong with people? And 51% approved of his handling of gender and trans people? What in the actual fuck? I am so deeply disappointed in my fellow Americans

      When the life is bad, people want something to blame.

      The people who benefit from life being bad for 99% of us, pick small marginalized groups and blame them.

      If we fix people’s lives, they won’t want a Boogeyman and society becomes more acceptable.

      It’s why the wealthy always want us to focus on social issues first, they want us to waste our time because the best we’ll do is shuffle around what social issues we’re fighting for.

      We can waste all our time treating symptoms, or we can fix the root cause

      About 1/3 of the electorate is composed of backward degenerates. Trump’s approval will never go lower than that. Where the other ~8% come from is the real question. Independents can be a really fucking dumb lot, if you haven’t noticed.

    Considering the propaganda machine of the far right is running at full tilt, and that Fox news has the highest ratings (while still decrying the “mainstream media”), this is jaw dropping.

    Trump’s 41% approval rating is the lowest for any newly elected president at 100 days dating back at least to Dwight Eisenhower – including Trump’s own first term.

    How do they make these polls? By calling people on their landlines? Who are they going to reach like that?
