If you haven’t read the New Yorker article about Angela Merkle and Team Trump Treason in the issue with Sherlock on the cover, you should. How anyone could have ever associated or used the terms “brilliant,” “brilliancy,” or “brilliance” in a positive connotation is way beyond me. And some on here want to think Team Trump Treason cares about tsunami victims? Please.
He understands the contempt most people have for (non-military, of course) government employees. This helps his image.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. Who has contempt for for government employees? And if this is helping him, why are his numbers regarding the shutdown so terrible?
he tells the military he just gave them their first wage hike in years. 10% he said.
obama gave them raises several times. the actual raise they are getting from trump is 2.9%.
when will the right start giving a fuck about the lying?
Never.
The 'deplorables' are simply too stupid to ever get much of anything (why's that black hole in my front toof gettin' bigger?).
The people that lean right with two brain cells to rub together don't give a shit how bad Trump is as long as their lefty counterparts are irritated and their medieval set of values are promoted- state of the country be damned.

Disagree. The people in your second group will start caring as their 401k’s continue to slump. I know many of these people and I can see the cracks starting to widen.

It’s not just 401Ks that people are going to start noticing. It’s going to be a whole lot of other things that Team Trump Treason doesn’t have a clue as to what’s affected by a government shut down. Untenable brilliant brilliance in all its brilliancy.

it's really interesting, i see so many people (seemingly professional intellectuals to boot) on social media who's profile contains the words "loving triggering the libtards!" or some variation. were they so butthurt over having a black man as president for 8 years that they suddenly became 10 year old bullies?

As an avid history nut.... I've always wondered how the German people could so easily fall in line with the Nazi Party... Now I've lived long enough to see exactly how... now that 38% of Americans have completely given up their logical thinking....it's a little easier to understand now.
Unfortunately fear mongering and blaming others still works today...

It wasn't an 'all or none' deal. Nazis came to power systematically with small and seemingly insignificant steps at first (to the alarm of scholars and intellects).
When it was said and done, the morons that scoffed at the scholars and intellects when they warned of the potential direction the country was headed were scratching their balls and wondering, "How did it happen?"

those polls are only asking the registered voters of the country, not a sampling of the total population.
Only some 57% of the eligible registered voters DID in fact vote. Less than one fifth of the total population put that fuck in office. He has lost some support from some of those that chose to vote for him.
Keep those numbers in mind when looking at various pools. also just who is conducting the polls and what was asked specifically , then HOW those questions were asked.
It was found and reported that taken by themselves most in the country supported given policies or ideas but once obamas name was attached that support went down dramatically.

Well put... it certainly makes one think. I just hope Trump isn't the tip of the iceberg, meaning the next "Leader" of the "movement" could be worse.

There's a controversial book called "Hitler's Willing Executioners" written by Harvard historian Daniel Goldhagen. It explores the role of ordinary Germans and German culture and how, according to this thesis, the rise of the Nazis was the fault of the entire population, not just the leaders of the party. The prevailing thought at the time is that the ordinary Germans and soldiers were victims of group think, peer pressure, etc., and this book attacked that premise. Many historians attacked the book for various reasons, but the rise of Trump is a great example where Goldhagen may have it right. I think we can clearly see that he harnessed the power of racism and nativism, he didn't create it.

He promised to run the government like his businesses.......
He's refusing to pay his employees
And he just took away a promised pay raise for 2019

As is anyone still supporting and believing him..
tRUmp : nothing is my fault
He's an ass of the highest order.
I so look forward to the day when he is disgraced beyond the doubt of even the most steadfast morons that wear the red hat.
