    We deserve it for being so fucking stupid. Hopefully the next super power has some limits on captive algorithms and data collection.

      So he isn’t burning anything down because he’s doing what he said he’d do?

      He said he’d burn it down.

      Now that’s some real big thinking logic right there.

      Approval ratings are garbage. The real winner this past election was the “I didn’t vote” party. Trump has the approval of 53% of the 5% who answer surveys. That’s only marginally better than the senile old man when you consider the actual number of citizens.

      But that’s fine. You’ll suffer as much as the rest of us. Pucker that asshole, we’re going in raw.

      Bullshit. 47% approval rating from what I saw yesterday. Show your source or GTFO.

      Those are some amazing numbers for Trump, I don’t think he was ever that high in his whole first term. This raises some questions, one of which - what exactly is he delivering for working class people that is improving their lives and thus their approval rating?

      Btw, the 53% was a poll published by Forbes. Perhaps a small bit of bias in their methodology. 538 is saying latest polls show 47%, which is still incredible to me.

        I promise there’s some selection bias going on in there. Most people leaning to the left of the Republican party aren’t going to answer polls or surveys about Trump.

        With all the possible outcomes, there’s more incentive to hang up than participate. The actual people writing the policies won’t change their strategy as a response to Trump’s poll numbers, which is the only thing they could have hoped for. Instead, they’ll probably end up on a call list.

        Or, it could be a fake poll made by some MAGA nutjobs looking to create a list. Is it likely? No, but the risk still outweighs the nothingburger that participating will actually do.
