So much #winning. He's at the same approval rating Bush Jr was in late 2006 when Democrats had a wave election and took back Congress against all odds. And it took Bush 6 years to get that low. Trump accomplished that in 9 months.

I agree, a smug sense of superiority against the people who voted for him is the best way to take back congress in the midterms.

That's made even better by the fact his running average is still abysmal for someone 9 months in to their presidency. The only one who comes close to being that bad was Ford, because he wasn't ever voted for and be pardoned Nixon.

Because in kindergarten we learn that if we ask someone for a cookie, and when they refuse we call them stupid, we're definitely going to get that cookie the next time we ask.

Seriously... are you so dense as to not realize that doubling down on calling 50% of the population deluded can only hurt in the midterms?

EDIT: Or 33%, going by the current approval ratings.

33% approval rating means the GOP won't align themselves with Trump ahead of the midterms. At the same time, they can't run on legislation because the GOP controlled house and senate haven't done jack ****. Stars seemed to have aligned for a resurgence of the democrats.

...but we know better than that, don't we? The Dems will find some way to blow this opportunity.

They could do literally nothing and still take back the house next year. Trump's brand is so toxic fight now that "not Trump" would be a working strategy.

He probably wants a culture shift where both parties stop acting like "their side" is objectively and morally right and the other side is literally trying to destroy the country. I sincerely doubt he wants the left to continue to have a seething hatred of the right but simply bottle it up.

not only had axiom not yet posted yet but you quoted no one in this post which seems to have been the basis for your ranting about people shitting on trump voters

you seem to have invented a strawman to rail against. no one in this thread is mocking people who originally voted for trump, they are mocking people who presently support trump despite his performance as president and the allegations against those in his inner circle.

not even axiom was doing that. he also referred to 'people who support him' as opposed to 'people who voted for him'.

i reiterate my statement: you have no reading comprehension. you created a strawman to swing at and are trying to pretend people are defending it.

Go back and look at your reply where you point out the discrepancy between my 50% comment and the 33% approval rating. That was explicitly in response to a post Axiom made. My original comment made NO REFERENCE of the 50% number. All it did was refer to the smugness in the topic, which is absolutely 100% there.

And as for " no one in this thread is mocking people who originally voted for trump", EVEN EXCLUDING the fact that I edited my post to refer to the 33% (the edit you continue to pretend doesn't exist), AND excluding the fact that I already pointed out to you that justaguy3492 did exactly that (you know, the part of my reply you conveniently edited out), the reality is that the specific number doesn't matter. My point is being a smug dick to ANY significant portion of the voting base is a terrible strategy, and you seem so incensed by that notion that all you can do is double down on it.

you were the one who brought up trump voters. axiom was noting the ridiculousness of tone-policing on a gaming site and not actually criticizing people who voted for trump. justaguy was trolling you.

happy to condemn justaguy for doing what you are also doing.

you were the one who tried to make this about trump voters. this topic isn't about trump voters--it's about trump approvers. many of whom probably did not vote at all.

and my point is that a significant portion of the voting base is not listening and will never listen, and engaging with them is quite honestly a waste of resources.

the answer is to invest more in turning out those who will listen.
