I'm not saying it's not still really bad, because we all know it is, but I may feel more optimistic today than I've felt in these whole 165 days so far. *sigh
Those 35% solidly behind Trump will never leave his side. They are the kool-aid drinkers. Nothing but him and all his administration says and does matters to them. I know, I have a sister in the fold. 😪
So difficult. Many of them are hateful, racist people who know exactly what he is, but others have somehow let themselves be fooled by all the lies & misinformation. They really aren't getting what they think they're getting
Yes, cannot be said loud enough,☝️study the psychology. Cult members are in very deep, it needs to be understood the staying power of religion isn't any truth in it. It's the effectiveness of trained, intensive, intergenerational brainwashing; zeolots. The first zeolots?Please look them up. Please.
There is no bargaining with zealots, and they are definitely zealots.
He's already had a tantrum and declared war on blue cities.
The need to get him the hell out is getting more urgent because protests are absolutely necessary, but I predict increasingly violent responses from him in retaliation.
I'll believe the tide is turning against #DementiaDon AFTER the midterms if 1) we even HAVE midterm elections, & 2) we successfully, and significantly, flip the House and Senate.
Let us hope. Full out resistance, rebellion and rejection is what eliminating a Trump GOP fascist regime will require - no let up - we have just begun to fight.
Let's not kid ourselves.
The particular breed of race&white supremist hate cult that peculiarly inhabits the US and South Africa only, has been a huge part of everyone's reality for hundreds and hundreds of years. It's not going away without more effort, than some feelgood advertising .
I’m 100% certain he couldn’t care less about approval ratings. He’s either going to ☠️ in office or stay in as a dictator, so either way, he doesn’t care.
I’m aware there have been situations where protests have removed tyrants but those were as a result of the tyrant’s minions giving in. Right now he is surrounded by yes men sycophants. The military appears to be all in too. Unless that changes protests will not help this.
Have we learned nothing about Trump’s cult and polling? They are nearly impossible to poll. Until he’s sitting at least 10-20 points lower and until democrats as a brand polls 10-20 points better than him, I’d exercise caution with this kind of overconfidence.
Do you honest-to-god believe that Trump and all he does was favored by 4 points in June, 15 days ago? And that the millions in the streets just sorta happened now?
"AGGREGATE" polls include: Rasmussen, Fox "news", American Eagle Macho Poll, Jesus Poll (<-I made those last 2 up!😜)
We cannot relent when he leaves office, we cannot relent. We must, at all costs, keep pressing forward.
JD Vance or whatever his name is this week is a mere puppet like Trump. More polished and might smell a little nicer but still a turd.
And to go a step further: when Trump is gone the MAGAs won't have a charismatic racist messiah anymore. Vance or whoever will not automatically assume his moron support.
The hapless successor will have no choice but to go full draconian dictatorship.
I don’t think when people who are anti-Maga say that, they mean they find him charismatic. I think they’re acknowledging this bizarre reality in which we find ourselves, in which the most repulsive of personalities seems to have inexplicable sway over tens of millions of Americans.
Also to be even more reductive, the boneheads saw this crooked, racist NYC slumlord on a scripted TV show and thought he really was a business Genius and a Strong Daddy. Yes too many Americans are really that dumb.
Even his supporters are tiring of him already. Has done nothing as President at all. Letting Ukraine 🇺🇦 to fight on alone, basically defending Europe. We need to work hard now for the Midterms. We must take the house back.
This is CNN's cheap way to milk headlines out of superficial numbers. If you dig deeper, there is much wider disapproval of ICE raids and sloppy deportations.
Is there? Conservatives still seem to be confidently assuming that every single person apprehended by ICE is illegal, and they're loving it. It's disheartening to see.
What amazes me is just how evil, corrupt, and pathetically incompetent you have to be to have poor approval ratings. Provided you're rich, white, and supported by billionaires.
I'm thankful for so many rising up. As a mentally disabled person, I've been so scared and depressed. Hitler killed the disabled at well as Transgenders and so many others. If people didn't rise up, trump would have killed us, and it's not over. I've found comfort in the online LGBTQ community.
I think that's a good point. Neither evidence nor argument is going to change the minds of the hardcore. But if he comes across as a weakling? That might. I think a sizable fraction of his supporters, even the so-called evangelicals, would still support him if he announced that he was the Messiah.
Yeah, pretty much. I'll believe his cult snapped out of his hypnotic spell as soon as something substantial happens. Hopefully involving handcuffs and a marshal informing Trump he "has a right to remain silent".
But that doesn't tell us anything about his support. It tells us that millions of people oppose him, and that's good. But this does not address the question of whether his support has dropped and if so, by how much.
Sadly, maybe 20% of the population supports him in a way that will be very hard to change. Even many of them who are directly suffering from his idiotic policies find it hard to wake up and admit the truth.
This isn't the dam breaking, this is just sleepy Americans finally starting to crack open their eyes and see past the propaganda. But only just *barely* and there's a long way to go.
She’s about the worst and most mediocre of the Sunday talking heads. I wish Padilla had asked her:
If the polls are correct, then why are Trump’s friends in the hotel, restaurant and farming industries panicking and asking him to put an end to the raids?
Almost to 3.5% of population protesting. That's the tipping point. The spineless ones in Washington will FINALLY notice that the people aren't having it.

"According to the latest WaPo/Schar School poll, Trump’s handling of deportations has 37% approval, 52% disapproval.
And Quinnipiac has it at 40% approval, 56% disapproval.
But @facethenation.bsky.social
insists “public approval is so high on deportation.”"
You have the entire Trump Administration demonizing immigrants and treating them horribly, what do they expect? We are all immigrants or here because our families were immigrants. We as Americans don’t have to settle for this bullshit and we won’t. Shut down ICE, fire Noem and Homan.
Nebraska farmers use 60%🤔immigrant labour. The immigrants, feeling safer in blue States, left Nebraska.
Goodbye to all that tax revenue, hello to bankruptcy in 6 months.
FAFO
"The dam is breaking" "The fog is lifting" "The fever is ending". The only thing that needs to end is the left's delusions that the "moderates" and "conservatives" are "good people who were deceived/lead astray". This is the US. They will feign regret and then do it again.
I think it will backfire. Most Republicans don’t want us to be in any kind of war for nationalistic reasons or even involved in the outside world at all. Most Democrats don’t want us to be in a war for moral reasons.
Approval rating in the toilet.
Sixty cases filed against him for breaking the law. (And he's losing almost all of them.)
Ten million Americans take to the streets protesting his policies.
Republican base turning on him over promised cost of living decrease.
His days are numbered.
Primary every single "Democrat" that votes with the rThugiKKKans. If they end up being the only choice during the general election or a thug? Only then would I vote for one of them.
Do everything you can to ensure they lose the primary.
Why? They wont get a worse one through. They BARELY got this one out of the house. Tank it and they will be basically forced to run either a clean bill, or another CR.
DO NOT TRUST POLLS. They are easily cherry-picked. They can be manipulated AND used to manipulate you. The media WANTS to manipulate you... sample sizes matter.... demographics matter... these are NEVER disclosed during whatever segment in which they're being used to tell you how to think.
It was evident yesterday whose still supports his sorry ass & who doesn’t. Despite media coverage & reports, in the end, numbers don’t lie. And photos/videos from the no kings events are proof Americans are pissed but we don’t let rage get the better of us. Instead we rise with peace.
Was there ever a time when the marmalade renegade wasn't "walking on quicksand"? I'm talking about all 79 years he's been alive up to now. The challenge we all face is getting the ones keeping him from sinking in it, the Republicans to go away and get out of the equation. It's their mess, not ours.

“But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.”
I think most people can understand why undocumented people who commit a serious crime should be deported. But ICE is picking up anyone who fits the description. Our black friends can tell you how that works.
George, you are better than this - Screenshots as facts are not facts. It's what the other side did for the last 8 years. Links to true articles and videos are always better. Not saying this is not true, or false, but just saying its a screenshot with a caption and anyone can make it up.
I’m afraid we are already seeing Trump's retaliation and should expect an escalation of mass ICE raids with immediate deportation - to any country he chooses.
This is all an experiment. Tomorrow there will be a flood of AI generating videos and pictures claiming there were 250k people at the parade. MAGA will share it even tho they know it’s false. This is where America is.

It was really nice to start the summer out with No Kings
One thing that sticks with me - the cops in MN responded to the first shooting. Nothing else had ben reported.
An intuitive cop remembered the politician in their district and asked to send a squad to check just to make sure.
When >
If that sergeant had not sent the squad, killer would have gone immediately to his next series of victims.
That cop saved lives. The system worked to mitigate the threat instead of increase it.
Good cops --> more hope :)
Because, every time he loses popularity, it seems some major event occurs to rally his base again.
So if those behind all of this decide to retire Trump, to shift momentum, we need to make sure that people know it’s MORE than just him.
But still better than up
He'll resort to more violence, all he's got
He's already had a tantrum and declared war on blue cities.
The need to get him the hell out is getting more urgent because protests are absolutely necessary, but I predict increasingly violent responses from him in retaliation.
He served on the Enterprise!

Protestors? Shoot to kill; shut down the press.
"Grab her by the pussy" Trump...charismatic?
Calling vets "suckers and losers" Trump...charismatic?
That's like calling a gas station hot dog, "fine dining". After you dropped it in the toilet.
SAD!
What’s worse is these news networks lean into these padded polls with gullible anchors like Harry Enten.
The more Trump is shown as being an incompetent fool the more they will distance themselves
The media & MAGAsphere keep carrying his water but make them work hard for it
We need to find an axe!
What a load of MSM crap.
If the polls are correct, then why are Trump’s friends in the hotel, restaurant and farming industries panicking and asking him to put an end to the raids?
I got so mad I had to switch the channel to some nature show FAST.
Plugging my crowdfund in case anyone wants to help a immigrant business get closer to their goal today 🙏🏾⬇️🥺

I can only hope it accelerates MORE!!

So exactly what you would do in quicksand - thrash about wildly while you continue to sink.
Who would have thought.
“But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.”
The much-touted 3.5% activism is a *minimum.*
If that shows tampering won't they have to examine all the other counties with similar results?
Probably retreat further into their carapaces.
They got what they wanted, so why the negative poling number?
The tech-bros will be planning to knife him now.
What do we do?
