Yep, obviously popular sentiment has shifted in favor of Dems to some degree, but much of that polling is still very depressing considering the current state and direction of our country politically, socially, culturally, economically, etc. under control of the Trump administration.

Really speaks to the ignorance and partisanship of many Americans as well as the reach and effectiveness of the MAGA political propaganda machine.

As more and more of the news media is bought up by pro-Trump CEOs and turned into MAGA cheerleading organizations, it's just going to get harder and harder for Democrats to get their message out there. Which has been the plan all along, of course.

But yeah, those polling numbers are actually kind of depressing in some ways. I mean, Republicans are still favored on the inflation and the economy? Are you kidding me? The mythology that Republican Presidents are better on the economy is still incredibly strong, despite all evidence to the contrary.

“Favored on the economy” is equal to “They say they’ll cut taxes.” That’s it.
 
Texted a smart, thoughtful friend ‘down home’ about how things were going - an anecdotal poll if you will: “So what's the word down in #DeepChatham? Are the trumpers abandoning ship over the child raping and the high gas prices and the war and the dementia? Or are they solid cultists still?”

“Cultist still , they are at the point they aren't putting up posts in favor of him, but I think that's so people won't see them in that negative light. I don't think any have jumped off that sinking ship yet. I eavesdrop on public conversations between them when I get the chance and they are still one minded and suffering tunnel vision believing only Fox and Truth Social.”

I had noticed a bit of social media silence from the cult of late - I do my surveying the landscape - good to get the “word from the back roads” when possible.

I’ve got a high school reunion coming up in October. My oldest friend from that group passed away suddenly 3 months ago - a brilliant farmer and lifelong, well-informed Republican. We talked a lot on the phone about a lot of things, including politics. He despised trump but couldn’t bring himself to vote for a Democrat so he left that one blank. He spoke his mind among that crowd and caught plenty of crap for it. The only other person that I really keep up with to talk is a guy that I played a lot of hoops with - one of the kids of a very brave Black family that sent their children to the historically white school way back in 1967 when it was optional. Interesting that he did that back then at 10 but is leaning toward skipping the reunion now at 68. If my No Trump Republican buddy were still alive i might make the scene for the reunion but as things stand right now I don’t have much inclination. Too, too sad of a scene. At 10 there was some hope for them - now? Not so much.
