As bad as all of those were, Trump is different and much worse. He is all of them but MUCH worse is so many ways.

Trump is as bad or worse, true, but the statement is also true: We haven't evolved since 1960. Hell, we haven't evolved since 1860. And Strom and Jesse were indeed just as bad as Trump and had they been given the Presidency right after a black man had been in the office, they too would have been doing the same shit as Trump - and possibly worse. No, make no mistake. This 40% approval crap is there precisely because Jesse and Strom were around to pave the way to where we are now.

I know, it's madness. But hate is a helluva drug and misery loves company. Based on interactions with my (former) friends and family who are Trump supporters, I personally feel they stick with Trump because he hates the same people that they do, instigated by and perpetuated by Fox News and the like. They don't care if Trump and his cronies are engaging in a kleptocracy in plain view, as long as the libs are being owned (libs = anyone not in the cult). Us being concerned or frustrated or mad about what they're doing is what they live for. I laugh when I see a headline somewhere that says "Trump coalition splintering" because it's bullshit. Them not liking something he's doing doesn't equate to abandoning support for him. It's a moronic cult in every respect.

Yep. If improving things in this country means white conservative Christians giving up control they'd rather stay stuck where they are, even if it means living in dying small towns and struggling farms and dying industries with little hope for the future. And they'd much rather drag all of those "snooty and condescending" liberals down to their level where we can all be miserable together rather than work together for a better future. That's why MAGA has so deliberately targeted universities and colleges, big cities, and made so many cuts with DOGE - they're firing (mostly) liberals in decent-paying jobs to get them down to their level. And in truth they've been this way long before Trump. Poor white Southerners supported slavery and died by the hundreds of thousands for it in the Civil War even though slavery ensured that poor and marginal whites would never be able to get out of poverty or improve their economic status - how could they compete with a free labor source?

And I also have family and old high school friends back home who feel and think the same as the people you described. It's a vicious cycle, and most definitely a cult.

so let's look at those polls:

Rasmussen and RMG are run by Rasmussen
Daily Mail is a hard right "news" org in Britain
Quantus insights is an on-line poll that is conservative

and even with these Trump bias polls the best they can muster is a range of 42-46% approval for Trump
