41% approving is way too high. WTF is wrong with people? And 51% approved of his handling of gender and trans people? What in the actual fuck? I am so deeply disappointed in my fellow Americans
And 51% approved of his handling of gender and trans people?
When the life is bad, people want something to blame.
The people who benefit from life being bad for 99% of us, pick small marginalized groups and blame them.
If we fix people’s lives, they won’t want a Boogeyman and society becomes more acceptable.
It’s why the wealthy always want us to focus on social issues first, they want us to waste our time because the best we’ll do is shuffle around what social issues we’re fighting for.
We can waste all our time treating symptoms, or we can fix the root cause
The people who benefit from life being bad for 99% of us, pick small marginalized groups and blame them.
Yep.
I am deeply disappointed in my fellow americans, and I absolutely find our conservatives in particular to be selfish, bigoted, reprehensible pricks, but bottom line is there’s no war but class war.
It’s not the death of a CEO that makes Luigi Mangione so scary to the 1%. They give no shits about his life any more than they do ours. They can beef up their security and go back to ignoring the herd of human resources just like before.
But folks on the US left and right were vocally behind him for a time. I think it shocked everyone, at all levels, a little bit, at how relatively little it took to rouse some class-consciousness. It was definitely noticed.
Edit - I suspect, but do not know, that this is also somewhat true for Elon and Tesla. I have this feeling that there’s a sizable chunk of the US-right who hate him just as much as the US-left does, they just don’t feel empowered to openly express it.
Even a solid portion of Cybertruck owners hate him now. They blew like $100,000 and got nothing but recalls and teen girls laughing at them at every third stoplight. There’s some sort of forum they all post in and I’ve seen dozens of schadenfreude screenshots of them complaining.
Full disclosure: I have a Tesla battery on my house. I didn’t choose it; the solar install company did. The the brand wasn’t even toxic yet but I covered up the logo with WWOZ (our local, non-profit radio station) stickers. I’m not paying to be some company’s billboard.
They are in a cult. Literally, that’s not exaggeration. If you interviewed people led by Marshall Applewhite right before they committed suicide to “follow” him, they would give him high approval ratings too. These polls are flawed and will never show the true picture…
About 1/3 of the electorate is composed of backward degenerates. Trump’s approval will never go lower than that. Where the other ~8% come from is the real question. Independents can be a really fucking dumb lot, if you haven’t noticed.
I doubt most people are well informed so there’s room for improvement.
I keep saying mental health but no one seems to want to agree with me. They just want to blame the first causal factor they find.
Considering the propaganda machine of the far right is running at full tilt, and that Fox news has the highest ratings (while still decrying the “mainstream media”), this is jaw dropping.
This is what upsets him. He obsesses over his image.

How do they make these polls? By calling people on their landlines? Who are they going to reach like that?
Our Omnibus draws samples entirely from the SSRS Opinion Panel, which has a probability-based recruitment methodology. No one can volunteer or sign up for the SSRS Opinion Panel; members are randomly selected and invited to participate. The panel recruits randomly selected panelists using a nationally-representative address-based sample (ABS) design with a randomly dialed prepaid cell phone supplement (RDD). This reduces the risk of bias and ensures that bots or fraudulent panelists are not recruited.
So, people who answer strange phone numbers. I think 15 years ago that would have been fine. But now, not so much, and I really don’t think this filter is talked about as much as much as I would like.
Try looking for “ssrs scams”, and mixed into that are actual experiences with the survey, by people asking about what they experienced. Also mixed into are the various actual scams that pretend to be legitimate.
A huge percentage of mentally healthy USA adults would not participate
That’s what I thought.
I have thoughts this is an excellent sample of those who watch Fox News
Trump’s 41% approval rating is the lowest for any newly elected president at 100 days dating back at least to Dwight Eisenhower – including Trump’s own first term.
FORTUNATELY American Voters have no Choice but to Vote for this Again so our Politicians can Rest Easy knowing their Jobs are SAFE!
-Chuck Schumer and the DNC!
