1. If only there were things they could have watched or read that said how terrible a 2nd Trump presidency would be.

7. Unfortunately those anti-maga

things weren't on one minute TikTok clips that had the viral push of reich-wing techbros behind them.

2. my 20 somethings music class barely hints at politics but usualy derisive about trumpenstein nt

3. Good to know. We have work to do to get them more active.

4. When I was young, I bet trump's approval would have been 25% at best. Although, he probably would have come out

in support of legalizing weed, ending Vietnam War, etc., to attract votes. Lies of course.

5. That high?

Sheesh! I want him down in the single digits.

6. I think you're misreading the measure

I also thought 40% was rather high. But the number is -40% and that’s the difference between those in favor of him minus those against him. So if it’s 30% liking him and 70% hating him, then that difference is this -40%. We want to see an even LARGER net approval rate. I suspect by next January this net approval could be -60%.

10. I will fix my OP.

8. I too misread it at first as 40% instead of -40%

I thought the minus sign was a hyphen.

9. Sorry. I will fix it.

11. Just hope we can get them to vote----- !!!!

I've always voted since I came of voting age at 18---
at least for every Federal election since, so far as I can remember....

(I might have missed one or two off-year city elections
where there were no interesting races--- but I can't say for sure on that---

Statewide and/or primary elections, (which happen congruently in Michigan),
I know I missed at least one, many years ago....
when the car-chaser far-left lawyer won the Democratic gubernatorial primary,
and subsequently lost to the incumbuent GOP Governor, Engler
(whom I referred to as "Mengele".....)



I thought Republican politicians resembled NAZIs,
before it was popular......

12. They were expecting their grocery prices to go down,

slowly realizing they were lied to.

13. Erm, Gen X + Boomers and older elected Trump, not us Gen Z and Millennials

14. These GenX dumbasses (my gen)

Were reaganites in their formative years because their dumbass boomer/SG parents moved them that way. I can't remember how many time they would bash Carter due to the Iran hostage crisis or gas prices - all things they heard their parents say.

Alt-rocker Cherie Westrich’s journey may seem unusual, but given the strange political arc of her generation, it might not be.
