The Trump Administration

Careful what you are saying here. If it were Obama saying same thing to a historically black church with a similar photo, suspect your view would not be the same. It would considered racist. Denigrating to marginalized citizens.
Let's be fair and honest.
if this, if that, if whatever. Quit playing whataboutism. Obama didn't. Bush didn't. Clinton didn't. No president in our history has lied as often as Trump. Nothing he says is the truth.
Nor have members of one party ever simply abandoned the truth and so blindly followed its corrupt leader with Nazi-like devotion.
Woody, you didn’t mention Biden, interesting.Voters after four years look see at DT elected Joe and Kamala. Four years of that mess elected DT again with all his warts. What does that say about the DEM party? Says a lot. The DEMs with all the woke far left mandates drove the voters to say enough, life was better with DT. Today DEMs can only call names, kick, scream, cry, and, post memes derogatory to those that did not vote for more of what the far left was shoveling. I would expect better here.
Local - why do people vote against their own self-interests? Sure some of the "woke" stuff strikes me as stupid but relatively unimportant when compared to national security, the economy and other much more important issues. If people think that "wokeness" is more important and vote that way, it doesn't say much positive about their priorities. Finally, there is also a right-wing wokeness that is far more dangerous in my opinion because it is coming from the state rather than a fringe group with no power of coercion.
Whatever happened to "F your feelings?" a pretty popular stance in 2017. You Republicans are sounding like a bunch of snowflakes who can't stand criticism.
Please check your retirement accounts/IRAs and tell me life is better today than under Biden.
The stock market is an indicator of investor's faith in the future. Why is it tanking? How has he trashed one of the greatest economies in our country's history in less than two months?
Why hasn't the price of eggs dropped, like he said they would on day 1 of his administration?
Why do countries who have been our allies for more than 200 years, countries which we went to war with to stop the Nazis and to stop Russian postwar expansion, now despise our president? Why does he cower and give Putin everything he wants?
Please ask the Ukranian citizens if life is better today than under Biden.
Please ask your friends with gay, trans or other marginalized children/siblings (and you have friends like that, even if you may not know it) if they feel safer under Trump.
Why is the Supreme Court, which he packed, continuing to declare his executive orders and other MAGA-related nonsense unconstitutional?
Wait until the midterms. You'll get your comeuppance by voters fed up with Nazi rule and government by the oligarchs.
Struck a nerve I see. Section 204, you didn’t mention the southern border, illegal horrible crimes, fentanyl deaths, inflation, boys in girls sports, our worse enemies starting wars, etc. The economy and national security, the majority felt itwas in the ditch. Dems no longer had anything to offer resulting in DT reelected. Respectfully, all the negative derogatory zingers don’t help unless the Dems have better solutions. Unfortunately, the majority believe the party has no statesman to lead out of the wilderness.
Woody, you change course too frequently, and don’t defend your post. Comeuppance, you said the same last November, how did that work out.

"The Democrats’ unfavorability rating is the highest since Quinnipiac pollsters began asking the question in November 2008. Similarly, the percentage of voters viewing the GOP favorably is the highest over the same period."
Not a Repub, but a 31% positive rating for Dems would lead most to suggest a course correction. Hate ain't winning.

I wonder what the majority feels now and will feel in the future. Trump was handed arguably the best economy in the world and is already destroying it. People voted for lower prices, most could care less about the rest of the economy when it in fact was great. Its apparent Trump just lied about lowering prices, he is doing everything to actually raise prices and do exactly opposite of what he promised. But that shouldn't be surprising since Trump could care less about the average American, he just loves his oligarchs.
National security in the ditch? Trump is siding with Russia on just about everything, has alienated our allies and weakened NATO after Biden had strengthened it, and is treating 2 of our closest allies, Mexico and Canada, like they are our worst enemies. Most of the rest of the world feel like Americans have lost their minds by electing Trump. And with his cabinet consisting of Hegseth and Gabbard, Trump is the one putting our national security in the ditch.

Respectfully, wake up, polls aren't the end all be all. Polls are not always accurate, your man Trump won in 2016 with all the polls saying he would lose.
The poll that KE cites above polled 1,019 registered voters. Quite the sample of all Americans.
I'm not debating polling, you are the one who referred to KE's post like it was gospel, when in fact it was a poll of 1,019 registered voters. If you think polls are always accurate, then Trump lost Iowa in the last election, one poll had him losing by a wide margin.
Southern border. Biden had gotten it under relative control. R's have no real interest in coming up with solutions on immigration because it's been a viable campaign issue. R's have backed out of two major deals which were reached on the issue.
Crimes by illegals. No one is in favor of this. But crime rates are lower among immigrant populations than the country as a whole. In fact, the highest per capita murder rates are largely in rural areas that heavily vote for Trump.
Fentanyl deaths. Again, no one is in favor of this but overdose deaths actually decreased in 2023 for the first time since 2018. And were you holding Trump responsible for any of the opiate deaths caused by Purdue Pharma? Not fentanyl but the dead people probably can't tell the difference.
Inflation. All Biden's fault right? It was largely a side effect of the pandemic where spending shifted heavily towards goods and away from services. And by the end of Biden's term it was almost at the fed's target level of 2% annually. Oh, and wages gains more than made up for the increased price of goods on a macro basis.
Our worse enemies starting wars? You're going to have to explain that one and you can't say Russia invaded Ukraine since Trump seems perfectly OK to side with Putin.
Boys in girls sports? Sorry - I don't think it's a major national issue. The raw numbers are exceedingly small, VHSL and Olympic committees are dealing with the issue on a case-by-case basis. And I'm supposed to think this is a major national problem when Trump is tanking the economy not to mention my 401(k).
You are free to believe that Biden was a disaster, but that belief doesn't make it so. So, no nerve struck here. I just think you and people who hold the views you expressed are just largely wrong.
