Democrats tried to warn everyone what a disaster Trump 2.0 would be again. And before the board Trump cucks come along and start screaming about the dims lost because of immigration and inflation, well..... he's way underwater with those two issues as well.

Guess fear sells... or at the very least causes some form of amnesia.

Maybe it's as simple as Trump on the campaign trail seems refreshing, irreverent, etc., but Trump in the Oval Office seems like the ignorant, impulsive asshole he actually is. No idea why so many people were convinced by the campaign version after we saw him act like an ignorant impulsive asshole for four years already, but that seems to be where we are.

They probably just woke up one morning recently and realized that their pets weren't going to be eaten by immigrants with or without Trump in office and started having buyers remorse. I mean, he was saying and doing bat shit crazy stuff daily on the campaign trail...

This is all only relevant if those numbers are among active voters. 36% of eligible voters did not vote in 2024 (and previous elections) and many people see the fool Trump is but don’t do anything about it. The key going forward is engaging (some of) that 36%. That is where the MAGA came from in 2016. Dems need to find and activate their version of MAGA (low propensity voters) from that 36%.

Racism, bigotry, ignorance and greed are the only reasons anyone would vote for Trump. The greedy rich just vote for not getting taxed and don't care about anything else. The others are just scared of losing their white, straight Christian America after a man of color was elected President, the LGBTQ community started getting rights and treated as equals, and DEI became a thing. They either didn't think or just are too ignorant to realize how it would affect them personally, too.

Electing Trump in 2016 was bad enough - there were all kinds of warning signs with people who knew him saying that he was in no way qualified to be POTUS, and anyone who looked at his background and personality and behavior should have known that he wasn't fit for the office. But at least in 2016 his voters could say they didn't know what he would do as POTUS and they were sick of the Clintons and the "same old same old" and were willing to take a risk (a big one) on something totally different. The reasoning sucks and I'm not excusing his voters that year, but at least there was something there.

But to vote for him again in 2020 and 2024 just defies any semblance of reason or decency or reality. People who supported him in 2020 and 2024 were willfully overlooking his actual terrible record on covid and a host of other issues and his chaotic, crude, and destructive policies. Having willful amnesia and wearing rose-colored glasses towards your leader is one of the hallmarks of a cult, which is what Republicans are now. They're not a political party, they're a cult of personality with an adored leader who in their minds can do no wrong and who must be supported and defended at all costs.
 
The other big point here with the recent polling numbers is that when MAGAs like calla and Ram talk about how happy they are with Trump's "successes," they are admitting they're way out of the mainstream. Yes, they were on the side of the plurality of voters last November. But the majority of Americans -- and in some cases the enormous majority of Americans -- are opposed to the things they support.

yep

If you look at the conservative leaning RCP average of polls Trump is underwater on every major issue :

economy - 55% disapprove
Foreign policy - 54 % disapprove
Immigration - 51% disapprove
Inflation - 59% disapprove
Israel/Hamas conflict - 52 % disapprove
Direction of the country - 54% disapprove

“… On the whole, voters disapprove of the president’s handling of the economy, inflation, tariffs and foreign policy. And yet in each case, the new Journal poll found, voters nonetheless say they trust Republicans rather than Democrats to handle those same issues in Congres

Republicans have won the messaging wars and have successfully framed Democrats in the public mind in exactly the way they want. Until that changes Democratic approval is unlikely to rise much, imo.

That's the price you pay for electing a black president to two terms.

Thank the lord we did not elect a black president this time around.

As Zach asked Obama between the ferns, "What is it like to be the last black president ? "

The whole interview is hilarious:p
