Conventional
wisdom holds that there has been a consistent thirty-three percent of Americans
who are hardcore far right for many decades. While this might be depressing to
have to accept, it does seem to be a reasonable assessment. That is the floor,
but clearly not the ceiling, as evidenced by the recent rise in sympathy for
fascism in this country, which thus far has culminated in the election of an
unrepentant authoritarian narcissist, who believes he should be ruler for life,
and had a forty-plus percent approval for far too long.
Since
the election of the syphilitic creature Trump, it was my feeling that we might
begin to have some hope of recovery with him having no more than a twenty-five
percent approval rating. If only 25% of this country approved of the
34-count-convicted felon, sexual abuser and pedophile protecting dementia
patient as president, the maybe, just maybe I might be able to breathe and keep
food down. In recent months that figure has been downgraded to thirty percent.
If Trump’s approval rating reached that level, perhaps that is a sign we can
begin to turn things around. It should be difficult if not impossible to
sustain control with more than two-thirds of the country thinking you suck.
Current polling on Deathbed Don’s approval;
he looks like we feel
Well,
given Dementia Don’s continuing mental decline and his growing distain for the
general public and democracy and his absolute inability to change direction in
any way, he seems hell-bent on making this happen.
More current polling…getting closer to barely
acceptable
Low and steady
Meanwhile, Death-To-America Don is
destroying everything, including himself. The former, faster than could have
been imagined. The latter, just not fast enough.
Keep up the good work, sir. Can I
call you sir? With a bit more work, sir, you could lower these numbers by
five-hundred or forty-thousand or even eleventy-billion percent.
