You can't compare percentage of votes cast to percentages of poles asked of the population.
That is not even comparing apples to oranges. More like oranges to rocks.
How about someone come up with the percentage of votes in the last presidential election based on number of registered voters and not votes cast? That would be interesting to know. And for the poles, they are wrong most of the time as the questions are misleading and the samples are too small or biast.
And what happened to those voting precincts that reported over 100% voting? I haven't heard anything about them in a while
The midterm approval poll has to be wrong first. So far it is better than Iowa. Even Kalshi has its odds near 4:1.
Since WWII, EVERY president that is below 50% approval (regardless of poll bias) loses an average of 37 seats at midterms. Thats our TRADITION. That is verified through polls and results.
I think only a miscarriage of our democracy could script otherwise. I think the second honeymoon is over. He lost a lot of independents, and only his base still keeps alive the majority narrative.
Its almost one of the givens. "Lose control of the house at midterms with low approval." And even the most flattering polls have Trump maxing out at 44% with The Daily Mail Poll. Lowest is 36%
IF TRUMP MAINTAINS THIS HOUSE ADVANTAGE WITH THESE POLLS, we may be as fucked as Hungary with our illusions of representative democracy still existing.
So I am going to make a prediction now:
Even though Trump CONSISTENTLY OVERPERFORMS, he still loses 15-25 seats, and the house flips anyway. Trump then calls the result a scam, everyone ignores THAT IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME, and we all have to deal with the stolen election shit again.

And Trumb wouldn't? Look at what he has already done to your political system.
Trumb breaks things he does not understand, demands applause while they are breaking, and then blames everyone else.

We can buy oil on the global markets from different suppliers.
And if we're talking dependence, the US also relies heavily on its allies for trade.
Never mind investment, intelligence, and military cooperation...
Before you get into an orgy of America bashing, you may want to solve your owns problems. But you refuse to see that you have any, so you just criticize others while living in denial. Stones...glass houses...you know the rest.

LoL
I freely recognise the UK has issues, David64.
When have i ever claimed otherwise?
Life is hardly a bed of roses over here for the majority of people, any more than it is in your nation.
And it's not America that people take issue with.
But Trump, his administration, and the problems they helped create...
Can't see how thats denial, if anything, quite the opposite.
"Yet so it is, we see the illiterate bulk of mankind that walk the high-road of plain common sense, and are governed by the dictates of nature, for the most part easy and undisturbed. To them nothing that is familiar appears unaccountable or difficult to comprehend."

Sick of this notion...
It's not "America bashing" any more than 2020-2024 was. It wasn't America bashing when it was anger and hatred or obsessing over gas prices, lost elections, drag shows, and hair sniffing, and it's not this time.
It is, "Strike it, reverse it!"
So I will say it.
Trump could bring peace to the planet, and it would only confirm he's the antichrist to me. And that's not America hate, it's STRONG DISLIKE for trump, his behavior, and his vision for the America that I am part of.
And no amount of being called the enemy will do anything but make me think how much more correct I am... at very least for the epic hypocrisy he's injected into society..
What did the right do under Biden?
Was it bash him at every turn?
Was that anti-american when they did it?
Or is this all so far fucking gone that everything the right was pissed about was real, and everything the left gets pissed about is " fake news?"
Talk of glass houses..
TRUMP ISN'T AMERICA.
HE'S THE PRESIDENT DESTROYING IT THOUGH HIS PERSONALITY CULT..
And I want to see his toxic linfluence voted out of office by popular opinion.
And if youd like i can go through the 2022 through 2024 posts here to demonstrate equal levels of boiling hatred and commentary towards the sitting president, THAT WAS NEVER ONCE CALLED AMERICA BASHING, ANTI-AMERICAN, OR AMERICA HATING..
At most it was tagged as "dangerous misinformation," and restruclicted on certain private platforms under pressure from Biden.
Kangaroo done hung the guilty with the innocent...

Thats because the party that hates America was in charge back then.
We were not bashing America, we were bashing the incompetent asshole that was in charge.
90% of the posts here not only bash Trump but America too.
How is your life harder under Trump?
What doom and gloom that you have been hand wringing about continuously has come true?

Ditto.
We have 2.5 years left to do so too.
And then maybe Vance, god forbid.

Have you seen Trump's world support levels and do you know how many posts here are from an international opinion?
To them, talking about us, is no different then when we sometimes call their countries a festering hell hole of welfare and iimmigrants, which happens a lot.
Trump supporters do get bashed along with Trump, but that seems like a by proxy thing for supporting his policies, but no more than Biden followers were.

Probably a lot longer than that until your party comes up with a candidate that wants to help America instead of destroying America.

it is not so much the ability to thrive, which he hasn't made easier either, but what he did to society and the world. How very lovely his impact made everything. He's like a forest fire. And after he's done, we will see what survives.
It is like those old WWJD bracelets, only his followers have on a WWDJTD bracelet. They mimic his stubborness, ego, inability to EVER admit fault or be wrong, self-worship, misogyny, and distasteful political approach in everything he does. They do as he does, and the churchy absolute infallibility is the worst.
For now, its all about his fucking ego or image being protected from being wrong, whether you support it or loathe it.
He needs the Zaphod Beeblebrox surgery. Cut out his fucking impulse and self-service that makes me want to tell him to put down the fucking phone.
