Its high for as terrible of a job as he’s doing and compared to his first term his points are much much better. Like its still a net negative approval but i would think the number of approval would be around 33%. Nate Silver has it at almost 44% at the time of this response, granted 54% disapprove. But to me considering his performance, how tumultuous the news cycles have been, and compared to his first term. To me 44% is very high( a relative term by the way).
This is just stupid. Do you think in caricatures. I think one day and done for me here. Enjoy yalls echo-chamber Im glad y’all coming claws out so I know to stay the hell away
Hmmm, i think thats a foolish thing to think when you’re talking about roughly 1/4-1/3 of ~330 million people. And when you consider the modern state of the political landscape and the way that social media has created these massive online echo chambers.
They have one of two choices neither of which has shown to do anything to advance the interests of your average working American. We live in the most propagandized country in the world that isn’t ruled by a dictator. And we live in a political system which has shown itself to align itself to the interests of Capital Markets, it should definitely be the other way around.
Everyone who supports Donald Trump is not a bad person, many of them are just like you know your neighbor. Trumps policies are terrible and I doubt that well make into the next election with a major net negative economic event due to his lack of understanding of global markets, but I have to remind myself constantly that people all have there own perspective. While you or I do see Trump as an obvious villian, many very intelligent people from doctors, lawyers, business executives to forklift certified laborersee him as strong and capable hero.
I remember meeting two guys from Mexico out and about one night at like a techno concert. They were both very proTrump. I was confounded. Honestly like he was already president he was wildly unpopular by the end of six months and those four years were a chaotic nightmare. Like why did these two dudes from Reynosa think he was what America needed? Ill necer understand, but they were smart guys and I felt like they might have been good people
I am just joining Lemmy but I may not be able to stay for long if the conversation consist of such one dimensional with us or against us rhetoric. This type of vitriol by the way is very off putting to people who are not yet aligned, also known as the people you need to win over if your political/philosophical movements are to gain strength and support.
I am a lefty a super lefty at this point, but I’ll never be a diluted to the point that Im ineffective. I promise you that. There are good people on both sides of the aisle. It is unfortunate that civics in this country has devolved to the point where we are so divided we don’t even see each-other as a united America anymore. But we really see each-other as enemies. Very bad for us, good for our true enemies.
I’m not sure we understand each-other. I am saying that close enough to half of the population voted for Donald Trump. A lot of those people, probably most, are good people. Even if we don’t politically align. They are just under the spell of a would be authoritarian. Its very troublesome to have someone as problematic as Trump elevated to one of the highest positions of Power in our country.
I don’t know how to answer your where do i draw the line question. But I hope this helps improve the understanding in the conversation.
It’s nowhere near as low as it should be. And NO, not historically low, it’s much higher than this point in his first term.
With all this factual evidence on Trump and that fact his approval rating is what I would refer to as Very high. I think we’re in for a bad time. Good people are devoted to supported an obvious villain. Luckily the economy is failing hard right now, couple that with the Tariffs and we might be able to defeat this undercover cristo fascist regime. But Goddamn fucking Trump really is just made of fucking Teflon.
You are probably correct about that
