He did do a good job though. These nazi traitors have about a fifth of the vote, we can only hope the are outlawed during the next four years.

They were polling at 20% in 2022 already, before he even bought Twitter. They gained basically no new votes in the last two years. Some hopium: 20% might be the highest percentage of people willing to vote for them.

Do you remember when people thought Trump had a ceiling?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 14 hours ago

Yes, but he still only managed to collect around 9% more of the total number of votes compared to 2016. Granted, that may be a lot in a two-party system, but it works differently when you have over a dozen to choose from. The parties are always much closer to cannibalizing each other.

The ~20% might be their ceiling. But depending on how much the conservatives and others fuck up, 30% are in the cards in the future.

They have popular positions and have a solid established voter base.
