    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

      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 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.
