  1. Wow, it dipped below the usual 40-something percent? I’m surprised! Not that it matters, since he’s still president and he’s still engaging in authoritarian, dictatorial bullshit.

    Really makes one wonder what those 37% are so enthused about. All I can imagine is that they’re big fans of being cruel to “the others” without realizing many of them are destined to end up “othered” at some point.

  3. No matter what he does, 37% of folks still support him. I’m curious to see how folks respond once he invokes the insurrection act.

    I have been seeing a lot of comparisons between the “No Kings” rallies and the “Tea Party”. Except the Tea Party was largely a astroturfed movement who at its peak had only about 500,000 demonstrators across 750 cities. The No Kings movement seems to lack any party or special interest organizational backing (the democratic party and some groups are getting involved but they most definitely do not have control). In this past weekend’s demonstrations there are estimated to have been 7 million demonstrators across 2,700 cities.

    And even though the media has been trying to downplay the numbers and the impact, it is clear that this is only growing and serving to engage and educate people.

    A lot of disappointed MAGA republican’s, that there was no violence or damage that happened during this very successful peaceful protest.

    Democrats will use trumps unpopularity as a reason to continue fighting change. Don’t let that happen.

    They’ll try to float on the assumption his failure will drive people to vote for them rather than out of enthusiasm for their own message

    We don’t need “No Kings” rallies, we need our own project 2025, strikes, and material policy changes

    While this doesn’t impact Trump for reelection, of course, a low approval rating will ultimately weaken him, as Congress abandons his craziness to enhance their own chances for reelection.
    Trump actually has very little power if his minions aren’t there for him.

  8. Now we just need to increase the popularity of the Democratic Party. One easy suggestion is for Schumer to announce this will be his last term as leader in the senate.

    I wonder if showing himself as a king dropping shit on Americans peacefully protesting will drop it even lower. Sadly, I’d guess not.

    Those are rookie numbers. Wait til SNAP is cut off and the non-affluent Caucasian population loses their ever loving shit. 💩

  11. This is about where it’ll sit until a couple big events take place. First, farmers are set to harvest and have nowhere to sell their beans, grains and corn. This should take an even bigger bite into this once it starts to play itself out. Second, with open enrollment a couple weeks away, more and more people, red voting people especially, are going to start getting insurance letters about premiums skyrocketing. You’d have to think that’ll bite into this. Third, holiday shopping will be kicking into early stages and the sticker shock on things will piss people off. Again, hopefully that bites into this. Maybe he gets down to 33-35% with those things. But it won’t matter in the grand scheme, he’s got his own completely made up numbers.

  12. My local No Kings protest was fun. It was nice to see a bunch of similarly frustrated people. Looking forward to the next No Kings.

    Are there polling numbers from the early 1930s on American support for the Nazis? It was pretty widespread. I’m legitimately curious if it was roughly the same proportion of the population that is broadly supportive of apartheid and dictatorship.

    Irrespective of that historical tidbit, it’s clear that trump is a symptom of the broader problem we have in the US of a significant minority of people being unambiguously opposed to pluralist democracy. trump has accelerated the decline, but even then, *he* doesn’t actually do much at all besides being the public face of the treachery planned by much cleverer authoritarians at the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation, and their billionaire-owned media allies. When he’s gone we’ll still have those villains and a little over a third of Americans who hate America to contend with.

  14. Can we ban approval rating posts for like a while. Sick of seeing them every day. We get. His Aproval rating is in the 30s. And it probably won’t dip below that. It’s every day. It’s clear engagement/karma bait at this point. At least this one has the decency to put the actual rating in the title instead of having to read 3 paragraphs of pointless drival to get the actual number.

  15. And yet he says it was “very small and very ineffective”. He literally just says things out loud that he wishes were true. It’s psychotic behavior.
