McCarthy & Spanky - approval numbers tell us something important

[donkeypoofed]

McCarthy had an approval rating of 34% three months after he was censured.

Spanky Let-me-drop-my-drawers' numbers are generally around 38% most of the time.

This just goes to show that anybody, and I mean anybody, can get 34% (1/3) of the population to follow them.

This just makes me feel a bit better; I don't know why.

1. Hoover got almost 40% of the vote in 1932.

That was after the policies of repuke presidents Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover (along with a repuke congress) had literally destroyed the country the previous 11 years.

2. Nixon still had 24% approval

in Aug 1974, the month he resigned!

3. And Trump has such a cultish following that I don't expect his approval rating to get that low.

Trump's approval rating has been far steadier than any of his predecessors. I attribute that to the Republican base being cult-like. Trump truly could shoot someone on 5th Avenue in broad daylight.

4. Next time you're in public ...

look to the person on your right.
Then look to the one on your left.
One of you is a Deplorable.
