But fox is seen as the trump channel and he's made politics very divisive. The with us or against us thing is very like a religious fanaticism. And his support in the confederate states is very high with his implied association with racist groups. And in spite of the harm to the republican party, they seem to feel a party obligation to support him. Some of us are old enough to remember the yellow dog democrat effect. <br /><br />There are far more independents registered than either of the major parties which says people feel disaffected, but they've no organizational structure or alternative candidates. there's a lot of interesting material on the subject here...<br /><br />https://www.quora.com/Are-there-more-Republicans-or-Democrats-in-the-United-States<br /><br />And for an anti-trump voice there's Chauncey Devega who can be heard here discussing the phenomenon of stupid people who don't know they're stupid...<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=27&v=sx7FdA7af8s<br />olcharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309255390011851502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-68250851951660898452018-08-30T18:26:42.166-04:002018-08-30T18:26:42.166-04:00In a recent TV discussion I heard, someone comment...In a recent TV discussion I heard, someone commented that even on the cusp of impeachment, when it was clear that "I am not a crook" was a bit of over-reach, Richard Nixon still had a 20% support rate.genkakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135705172119950326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-142614328696856592018-08-30T14:59:42.645-04:002018-08-30T14:59:42.645-04:00The National Inquirer’s circulation statistics are...The National Inquirer’s circulation statistics are an interesting reveal.<br /><br />I’d like to see a fairly nuanced analysis of “Trump Supporters.” <br /><br />Politico has published a poll which indicates Trump’s approval / disapproval ratings among other things. It was updated 8/24/18:<br /><br />https://www.politico.com/interactives/2017/politico-morning-consult-poll/<br /><br />I still don’t completely understand why Trump’s approval rating is as high as it is. I’d love to know how much is due to FoxNews and Sinclair New campaign of misinformation which which helps some fraction of the 1% and how much is due to blind, deaf and dumb ideological loyalty.<br />Andy Shizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15215297395548845513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-53991480668247643492018-08-30T10:31:35.434-04:002018-08-30T10:31:35.434-04:00What kills me is that trump is such a whiner.

I imagine any of us might feel bullied these days, but knowing the bully so that you don't support him strikes me as pretty basic. He should get out of the kitchen. And his core should wake the fuck up and pay attention.<br />olcharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309255390011851502noreply@blogger.com
