They were completely fine with screwing everyone else over, fucking up the planet so long as the chief consequences didn’t hit until AFTER they died off, but now that their Social Security is on the chopping block they’re finally noticing.
Who cares now? It’s only 2.5 months in, and so much PERMANENT damage has already been done. Nobody will ever trust the US again. The only time his approval ratings will matter is if he tries to declare himself President or push through allowing him to run for a 3rd term.
His ratings could be 0% with every demographic, and the Republicans MIGHT vote to impeach him… maybe. And maybe his ratings might matter a little in TWO YEARS during mid-term elections. But that is two more years of him looting and pillaging and destroying the country.
Right? Not like millions of people very consistently pointed out every fucking bullshit lie and crime.
The weirdest fucking thing is that before the election, Republicans were desperate to NOT have Trump as their candidate. But now they enthusiastically beat their drums to the collapse of the country
Politicians in this country are totally focused on the next election. Every once in a while you get someone who can see ten or twenty years down the line, but those are the rare exceptions.
Trump is getting votes, and that’s all that counts.
Republicans would be the first ones to bend the knee to escape the purges.
What’s propping him up then, all the Gen Y and Gen Z males?
also gen-xers too.
What? Fuck no
Unfortunately:
It was Generation X for the win in last week’s landslide victory for Republican Donald Trump over Democrat Kamala Harris.
However, Millennials and Generation Z also shifted to the right.
Only the Baby Boomer generation, which Trump is part of, moved slightly to the left since the 2020 election.
Which sucks, because I remember the “slacker generation” being far more lefty in our youth. The social media virus is getting to some of us, as well, I guess.
Millennials get a pass? Nope
You skipped a whole generation there.
GenX is the forgotten generation for a reason 😅
It’s mostly a numbers game. Also, we came right after the boomers and they stole all the air out of the room for so long, we never really had our day in the sun. The “being centered generation” then skipped almost entirely to Gen Y and that’s all we heard about for quite some time until now Gen Z and alpha…
I’ll believe it when I fucking see it. My Aunts and Uncles still love him, and they’re not even American.
I notice that a lot with people that aren’t even American.
What fucking business do they have with American politics? Go get citizenship before they pipe in on matters.
It’s a global society, so American politics affects us all.
Last time he was in he did some shit that made timber prices jack up in Australia. Everything affects everything these days.
I hate him, he’s a dumb cunt.
Tbf the US probably has a military base in their country that they never asked for.
From the article, it was a 10% drop in approval ratings from boomers, compared to <3% drops among other groups (who already had a lower opinion of him)
Along with that demographic dying off.
We’re “Boomers” the main problem in this election? Were they the Trumpers…?
Voters 50-plus put their weight behind Republican Trump over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. These voters favored Trump over Harris, 52 to 47 percent, according to AP VoteCast.
They were also a majority of the electorate, though that number differs slightly depending on the source. AP VoteCast, which starts surveying voters a week before Election Day in order to capture early voters, reports that voters 50-plus constituted 52 percent of the electorate. Traditional exit polls, which survey people as they leave the polls on election day, put that number at 55 percent.
Middle-aged voters were especially influential in tilting the election to Trump. A commanding 56 percent of voters ages 50-64 cast ballots for Trump, with 43 percent voting for Harris, exit polls show. The candidates were tied at 49 percent among voters 65 and older. The two age groups together comprise well over half of the national electorate, meaning they provided the critical difference for the returning president-elect.
Trump improved his performance among voters among those 50 to 64 by 4 percentage points from his previous presidential run in 2020, exit polling shows.
“The older voters showed up,” says Republican pollster Bob Ward, a partner with Fabrizio Ward who teamed up with a Democratic counterpart to conduct AARP’s bipartisan preelection surveys this year. “It was big, and we didn’t see any surge of younger voters coming out in full force…. It’s the reason why Trump is now the president-elect.”

With the exception of the Christians.
Christians coming out in force to vote for the devil will always be the funniest thing in the world to me
Republican Utah Senator John Curtis said on Meet the Press on Sunday: “… If we don’t touch it, it touches itself.”
Texas about to outlaw social security as porn!
So? Who cares. How does this matter in any way at this point?
