32%?
i am also a moron
Don’t worry, everyone makes mistakes. ❤️
Don't call their parents out like that...
Too large of number still
32% is very comparable to Nixon right before he resigned, and GWB at his lowest depths. As far as I know those are pretty much the lowest presidential approval ratings ever recorded.
The fact that Trump has now joined this club is really significant in terms of making things happen politically in America.
It's that consistent 30ish percent again. They're not just morons, they're extremely dangerous in both their dogged conformity to the fascist norm and their own personal spite. If the "Throw every Democrat voter in a dog cage and throw the cages in a lake" Act got unveiled, that 30 percent would be polling positively for it.
They're human cattle.
Brainwashed cult is probably more accurate
No, they're authoritarians. They're the exact personality type that will step up to fight for others when told to do so. They will also fight against others when told to do so. They're the kind of person who will go out of their way to pick up litter because littering is bad. They're the kind of person that will follow orders. They will support established institutions against threats.
Point is, authoritarian personality is not necessarily a bad thing, it's just easily weaponized by Social Dominators. And they make up approximately 30% of any given population. You will never get rid of them.

Technically, 32% of voters, which is about 65% of adults, so about 20% of Americans are morons.

The president even admitted in a Wednesday interview that Republicans are very likely facing a bloodbath come November’s midterms—even if his response to that prospect, and the issue Democratic control of either chamber could create for his agenda, has amounted to little more than a shrug.
“They’re angry at Republicans,” he told Punchbowl News. “They’re not angry at me.”
That motherfucker has no self-awareness.
Honestly, the only reason I have hope these days is because Trump is so deeply fucking stupid.
The next one likely won't be. Does that help?
Trump has his ballroom, Nero had his fiddle.
History doesn't repeat, but it's been rhyming a lot lately...
That's not really something that had to be leaked. I would categorize it as common knowledge.
Absolutely. It would be more surprising to find out he can change his own diaper.
"Trump Insiders Leak How He Is a Carbon-Based Lifeform."
It could be worse. He could be paying attention to those issues. Every decision he makes is the worst possible decision for the people, and only serves his rich mates, or himself.
Instead he has some the most vile people in the world making those decisions for him.
There is that.
As long as someone's doing the job, right? :|
If he was more intelligent and clever, the reception would be wildly different. It's a gift he's dumb as shit.
You have to leak common knowledge?
Breaking!

A slamming. oh my.
Like no shit. Anybody with eyes or ears can tell that, hell even people without eyes and ears could tell that
He has been detached for 80 years. This is not news.
For some reason, the use of bonfire in that text really bugs me. Bonfires are great. People gather around bonfires and generally have a great time.
Especially when there's the perfectly good dumpster fire they could have used.
Especially soltice bonfires, with witches.
Trump leaks that every time he opens that second asshole he calls a mouth.
Isn't there some kind of protocol for when the president is insane?
Republicans: Yes, oooh, we know this one. Is it, manipulate him to doing what you want while publicly refusing to question him so you remain in his favor?
They are waiting until the point where Vance can serve 2 full terms. Right now I believe he would still be only eligable for 1.
Once that date passes I think they might make a move. Force Trump out, give him a pardon or let him "escape" to Russia. Then its just them declaring some national emergency and oopsy doopsy no election in 28. Only issue is Vance has the charisma of warmed over shit. If they can get anyone with half the juice Trump has its gonna get worse somehow.
They are waiting
They're not waiting. Vance isn't going to be president. The rest of Trump's cabinet hates him.
This strategy implies rules still apply
IMO aside from being a black hole of charm, I don't think Vance could keep up the pace of fuckery Trump has. Hard to focus on Trump shooting someone in Times Square yesterday when he's bombing Greenland today and tariffing the moon tomorrow all while posting 35 tweets a day with random capitalized words calling sesame street communist and depicting himself as elvis via AI. Vance lacks that juice.
They say Hitler was some sick, methed-out guy controlled by generals. I think insanity is the goal here.
Oh, not leaks. He hates those.
Trump, 80, dropped
🍿🍆 Yes...yes.....
to 32 percent approval in a Quinnipiac survey released last week.
🔵🔵
Are ... are you fucking the popcorn?
Hopefully his bones will be the fuel of this bonfire eventually. That'd be a hell of Samnhain gift.
It’s not a leak, it’s VANDALISM!
Sure, the shit leaking out of his diaper is "vandalism".
