Study released a day before State of the Union address shows president has lost support among Republicans
Most US adults think Donald Trump is moving the country in the wrong direction during his second presidency, according to a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll released the day before his State of the Union speech.
Fifty-five percent of adults feel that Trump is changing the country for the worse, a 13-point increase from around the same time of his first presidency, the survey conducted from 27 to 30 January found.
The number of people who held that view also increased four points from April.
Unsurprisingly, support for the president splits down party lines.
For the dumb dumbs that voted for him but now think he’s moving in the wrong direction, just what they fuck did they think he was going to do?
He ran on carrying out vendettas against his personal enemies and doing incredibly stupid shit like culture wars, tariffs, and mass deportation.
No, I assure you, I am a loser… But I never supported Trump in anything, and certainly not as a politician.
I would support however his effort to furtilize a random field in Montana with his corpse. But nothing else really.
Not all losers support Trump for all Trump supporters are losers.
Your inability to figure out this simple logic mapping indicates your self-assessment is otherwise correct.
hey easy clent some of us were edumacated in statesia here
Looks like peole took my comment too serious; looks like you’ve uncovered the reason.
Usual thing with these people: “I didn’t think he would hurt me”
Probably the same assholes that keep talking about animals infiltrating human society. Bunch’a rubes, if you ask me.
My face!
This. but not to THEM.
I remember talking to a relative of mine (he’s a redcap) and we were talking about the economy a few months into 2025.
He said something about how Pedonald was “fixing” the supposedly terrible Biden economy. I asked him what was so bad during the Biden economy…both he and I had steady jobs. He said something phrased in a kind of passive-aggressive way about how maybe the “wrong” people were doing well - implication being ME and other people present that were not redcaps were not doing poorly and that was a problem. I pointed out that I worked a steady job through his first term, too.
And I could tell that reminding him of this annoyed him. I think he expressed some kind of wish that maybe this term Pedonald would do better at harming people like me, at least economically if not something more directly nefarious. We were interrupted by other people (lots of people at this gathering) before I could ask more questions.
These people are truly warped. Sure, in my weaker moments, I express vitriol towards the redcaps and don’t always say the nicest things about them. But I really don’t want them and their spouses and their children to go without healthcare, shelter, food, a job with dignity, clean air and clean water, etc…I’ve seen lots of the redcaps really champion death and so on online, and definitely I’ve seen them talk about it abstractly IRL, too.
But to have a relative stand there and tell you that they want harm done to you and your family is another matter altogether.
When you think about it that way it’s no surprise they worship the Orange Pedo as the Second Coming of Christ. You’ve been Living A Wicked Life and have Gone Down The Path Of Sin, and so you deserve to be smited by the divine! But the divine never answered his prayers; you and all those other icky upstart ‘sinful people’ kept having a nice job and everything that he felt should be taken from you.
And then Trump comes along and grants his prayers with deportations and shootings and everything else he thinks you deserve. Is it any wonder he’s willing to suffer himself, as long as you ‘get what’s coming to you’?
Well you said it. They are dumb dumbs. And dumb dumbs believe the first thing they are told, any information that they are given after that is “fake news”.
Remember a few years ago there was a push to not call his supporters dumb, that they were much worse than that. Thing is, they can be both a reprehensible person beyond reproach and a dumbass at the same time.
It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.
Kill people they don’t like, of course. I’m sure there are a few people who want a legal reason to hunt down and murder the woman who unmatched and blocked them on Tinder.
