Most Americans only care about themselves and their cost of living. It's going up with him in office so they'll likely swing their vote the other way yet again.

I wish I had any confidence polls meant anything to him or the GOP.
Trump is saying we are "at war" eith our own cities, cartels, and probably Venezuala sooner or later. And if we are "at war" no way to have elections right guys? I mean Ukraine did it so he can too.
The man tried to overthrow the legitimate government of the USA and Americans still elected him into office. Approval rating doesn't mean shit.
Elections happen every 2 years. Approval polls are taken every 2 weeks. Things change.
And the voters have an even shorter term memory. Trending downward is nice, but I doubt the shit we're dealing with now will be in most people's mind when they vote in 2026 and 2028.
We'll probably have worse things on our mind by then...
No shit. He probably will have nuked San Francisco or something by then.
I'm doing my best to put it there and keep it there.
Imagine if in the midterms the dems get supermajorities in both the house and the senate
Depends, if it's a bunch of Sinemas and Fettermans that win then nothing would change and people will ask why they even bother voting. Leadership needs to be primaried and changed or else it's a wasted shot.
great, he is not planning on their being another election so it really doesn't matter.
But he had all those "Trump 2028" hats. Surely that means he plans to run again. He wouldn't just troll people for the sadistic glee, right?
Nah if his BK special oldddd ass body doesn't give out on him by then he will definitely "run"...
... in a "fair" election
Pro Wrestling Style election you know how it goes.
Yeah well fuck those states specifically, I hope they lose everything.
Hey man, swing states are at least trying. Go yell at Ohio or Florida. They used to be swing states and gave up.
I know the feeling, but I think the reliably Republican states are much worse.
He thinks swing states will see him punish blue states, and that will motivate them to go Republican so they're not targeted...
Instead of the rational response from anyone with a shred of empathy: stopping maga from doing it again by voting blue
Everything trump is doing is setting up a progressive Dem to win in a landslide, and neo liberals lost their death grip on the DNC, so there's nothing to stop a progressive in the primary either.
stopping maga from doing it again by voting blue
We did that with Biden. Good thing he took his responsibility seriously and went after Trump for attempting to overthrow the government. Whoops, I guess he forgot that part of the plan.
We did that with Biden
The difference is this time we'll have a choice who the general candidate is...
From your lips to.... well I'm not religious so whatever, I guess your hips or something, but I hope this happens.
Where can I get whatever it is you're ingesting to believe the way you do when reality is telling a much different story.
At least those states are getting what they voted for.
What did a state that elected a statewide Democrat and a Trump president vote for, exactly?
