"Public Religion Research Institute" poll: Most MAGAts still on board with Trump, 100 days in

Trump’s approval rating is low, but good luck finding those who regret their vote

A Public Religion Research Institute poll released around Trump's 100th day in office finds that just about everybody who voted in November is satisfied with the choice they made.

I mention this for a few reasons.

1). I know we are smart enough to not expect the MAGAts to "turn" in either the 2026 midterms or 2028

2). Our opportunity...outside of Democratic voters, of course...is the "disenfranchised Independents" who thought they were "voting for change" (in a positive way, not anarchy), and the 90,000,000 people who sat out November 2024

3). Republicans already have read the tea leaves on the 2026 midterms and know some kind of dirty tricks are in order

4). As many have pointed out, Trump may just stop elections altogether, so none of this will matter

From drinking cyanide laced kool aid to following him over a cliff to jumping off that cliff all by themselves to allowing Krasnov to sacrifice their kids, they would do ANYTHING for him.

I know he would like to stop the elections. I just don’t think he can do it.

...part of bullying is creating the kind of threat that just hangs in the air and lingers, perpetually.

He achieves the same end result, whether he intends to pull this off or not.

He WANTS America to be agitated, afraid, uncertain. It's all part of his "revenge" tour. It's not targeted. The target is EVERYONE.

Even those who have taken a cursory look at Trump's pathology know the answer to "WHEN will he get OVER losing 2020" is "NEVER."

HE HAS THE GIG RIGHT NOW, and it's not enough. He has to hurt America in a way that will leave scars for decades to come, long after he heads off for his dirt nap.

Think both sides are equally bad so vote for neither.

This is because of all the misinformation out there and outright lies.
