Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Second paragraph says he has less support overall. I would bet that 51% includes a lot of people who dont know shit. Like my boss for instance, not a single second of cognitive dissonance when I showed him the cat eating lady that splurged racism all over the country was actually American. They're fucken dumb. They'd support anyone who says big daddy will make all the hard problems go away. They're children.

It will last right up until Trumps dumbass policies have them struggling to afford their basic necessities because he kicked off the second great depression, and people are dying in the streets because our healthcare system has collapsed under the load from all the unvaccinated people.

I would say I hope that leads to a moment of self reflection, but I'm not that hopeful. They'll just blame it all on Trump and not the terrible Republican policies they've been supporting for decades.

It will even last past that, because the elites will give them someone to blame for all the problems caused by qons and their stupid ideas about how to run things.

They'll blame the Jews, POC, liberals, Teh Gheyz, immigrants....

That won't stop it. It'll always be someone else's fault. Republicans have been screwing over their constituents for many decades by making them afraid of immigrants, liberals, etc.
