Donald Trump’s closest aides say that the fact he’s obsessing over pet projects while his approval ratings plummet shows he’s in total denial about the bonfire he’s made of his second presidency.

Trump, 80, dropped to 32 percent approval in a Quinnipiac survey released last week. That’s the lowest figure of his political career—lower, even, than his numbers in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol Building. Sixty-eight percent of voters now say he’s not paying enough attention to the issues weighing on most households.

      It’s that consistent 30ish percent again. They’re not just morons, they’re extremely dangerous in both their dogged conformity to the fascist norm and their own personal spite. If the “Throw every Democrat voter in a dog cage and throw the cages in a lake” Act got unveiled, that 30 percent would be polling positively for it.

      They’re human cattle.

        No, they’re authoritarians. They’re the exact personality type that will step up to fight for others when told to do so. They will also fight against others when told to do so. They’re the kind of person who will go out of their way to pick up litter because littering is bad. They’re the kind of person that will follow orders. They will support established institutions against threats.

        Point is, authoritarian personality is not necessarily a bad thing, it’s just easily weaponized by Social Dominators. And they make up approximately 30% of any given population. You will never get rid of them.

        The reason they turn against democrats now is that there have been several institutions in the media and religious spheres that have slowly turned them against democrats. That took decades. That can be undone.
