The shine hasn’t worn off a bit. He’s polling pretty much exactly where he’s been throughout this presidential run; in the 44-46% support.

Almost half the country still supports him, and loves him, tariffs, destroying the constitution, and all.

It’s performative nonsense in the hopes we all back down and stay nice and peaceful, thinking that the rest of the US will just stop supporting him. This is just propaganda aimed at the left.

Um, no?

He’s still staying firmly in the 44-46% range, where he’s been since he was elected. The needle movements have been so small there’s a good chance they’re just rounding errors.

Biden was at 33% at one point. Harry Truman managed to hit 22%. Nixon was at 23% when he left office.

All this ‘Trump’s ratings went down half a point! The honeymoon is over! He’s the worst president ever!’ is absolute bullshit, and I’m tired of it. It’s designed to make us on the left feel like people agree with us. Probably so we’ll complacently wait for everyone to agree to help us get him out of office.

Almost half the country is still thrilled with what Trump is doing. We are charging headlong into fascism with a good chunk of the country cheering it on. And those cheering masses are not going to ‘wake up’ and change our minds about it.

Let me introduce you to a little concept called martial law…

It’s just going to be the ol’ ‘women aren’t allowed to go to school’ schtick again.

And yet his approval rating is holding steady.

Losing your job to own the libs, I guess

I dunno, Oregon’s reps are pretty old and trying to fight the good fight.

True wisdom is understanding how much you don’t know! And to a certain extent what you say is true.

But, as Bill Watterson once said, ‘most ignorance is willful’. Quite a lot of people don’t want to look into things more than surface level, because it’s too much work, and too scary to step outside of their comfort zones.

And, y’know, I’d be kind of fine with that? Except their ignorance is actively hurting people.

And then, sadly, there’s a lot of people who are just bullies, and use their ignorance to prop up their fragile egos. A friend of mine has been disowned by her family because she’s trans. They refuse to speak to her, and have been cheering on Trump’s deportations and treatment of trans folks.

What do you even do with people like that?

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

They actually are quite logical and unswerving in their beliefs. They believe the above quote is how the world should be, and that they should be in the first group, because obviously they are special.

If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.

-Lyndon B. Johnson

Just because only one group believes that Jesus was God doesn’t mean it isn’t the same God.

The prison is a labor camp you twat.

It is true.

You might want to switch news feeds if you missed that memo.

Satire is indeed dead

Isn’t that just basically My Time in Portia?

lol

Yeah, we definitely pick on them as part of a Soros-backed psyop and not because they have some amazingly garbage takes.

You’ve got that backwards. They’re turned on, and grabbing everything in sight.

You know, in the future, it might not be a bad idea to learn a little bit about something before you comment on it. Just saying.

Here’s a sub that has fun watching the Tankie Triad.

Oh dear. Any way to get him to watch BBC at least?

Maybe you should get him subscribed to that Mastadon News Front Page account
