Summary
Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating of any newly elected U.S. president since World War II, except for himself in 2017.
While his immigration policies and government downsizing have support, controversial moves—like ending birthright citizenship and renaming the Gulf of Mexico—face strong opposition.
Economic concerns, particularly rising prices, remain a major issue for voters.
Analysts say Trump’s popularity will likely hinge on broader economic and immigration policies, with potential political consequences for Republicans in the 2026 elections.
Maybe some of those people who he’s not popular with should have fucking voted.
There were a whole lot of low-info voters and certainly a lot of idiots fell for that gEnOcIdE jOe nonsense, too.
People think that “politics doesn’t matter” or fall for the “bothsides” thing honestly think it doesn’t matter if someone like donvict gets into office…and unfortunately all of us are likely to find out…
‘Fell for’
I’m sorry, it’s a very simple conclusion that the genocide will be worse under Trump. There is quite literally no way you can interpret otherwise - he has made it very clear what his plans for Israel are.
They didn’t ‘fall’ for anything, they’re just fucking stupid. They didn’t think, at all.
I try to give some the benefit of the doubt - there are a few that genuinely do seem to think that “both sides” is a valid position.
But yeah, a whole lot of voters demand that the Democratic Party gives them a pretty pretty pony and if they don’t get one, they will then proclaim just how extremely moral it is for them to be extremely selfish in their unrealistic demands and will loudly sit out or cast a “protest vote”. All of us are incredibly impressed, of course. Many of this same bunch will now proceed to the next step where they sit their with arms folded, adopting this “I told you should have listened to us” attitude.
If not sitting around with this smug attitude, they’ll put on a Pikachu face for all the horrible shit donvict and the qons will do to America, but probably forget all that come the next election, where they will demand a pony from the Democrats again, or they will withhold their vote. 🤦♂️
They were too insignificant to listen to. If you think they’re significant enough to blame, you should have listened to them.
That fickle bunch changed their mind more than their underwear.
They say the guy is too old so they switch her out for a younger woman and they don’t vote anyways.
No you fucking ingrate. Democrats would have lost if they listened to them anyway. The tik tok voters were never going to vote for democrats, that would be against their sense of virtue. Harris fucked up a ton by not distancing herself from conservatives and Biden but even she tried to throw the Palestinian protesters a bone at one point and there wasn’t a singular budge.
The reason the DNC lost is many. The blame for the end of US democracy is easily spread around because there are many people deserving of blame. It doesn’t really matter anymore anyway though does it?
The enemy is both weak and strong.
Not that I have the power to do anything about it, but everyone was supposed to be listening to people with severe delusions about the way our system works?
Those in power did. Here we are.
But … the last guy who was not even on the ballot is as old as Trump. And eggs are expensive. And another country is waging war, sorry, gEnOcIdE. And Kamala sounds foreign and I don’t know what she would do because I prefer to revel in ignorance instead of finding out myself.
I agree that there is genocide happening. I also understand that the guy who got elected is actively in favor of it and wouldn’t lift a finger to stop it if everyone in the country begged him, while the person who lost was trying to balance millions of conflicting priorities (and sadly those dying are not the top priorities) and the result isn’t what I want. There are other things to consider after you realize you’re not going to get what you want.
is this another one of those famously accurate polls we were subjected to during the election?
He won with 1% of the vote, 35% of eligible voters stayed home.
Yeah, that was my point.
I understand, I was just throwing actual numbers out because it pisses me off too.
Especially this previous election, since they’re about to write the tax laws AGAIN which won’t expire for another decade.
Maybe people in the most heavily propagandized country on the planet should stop relying on the “Democratic” process.
