      What stage of decline is it when Trumpers are bragging about a stat that still shows a majority of the population saying we’re on the wrong track?

          According to your own stats, the majority of people disagree with that assessment and think things are still getting worse.

          But regardless, what people think isn’t necessarily reflective of reality. This is the best argument you can muster, not that Trump is actually improving things in specific, tangible ways, but just, “My guy has managed to convince marginally fewer people to hate him than hated the last guy.” Of course, we’ll see how many people still feel that way by the end of his term when we’ll have likely fallen into a recession thanks to his bullshit.

              If you look at the historical polls about the direction of the country, wrong track always win, it is just a matter of how bad.

              Yeah, no shit. That’s the point. What you’re bragging about is “Most people hate us, but they hate us marginally less than they hated the other guy.” It’s pretty pathetic that that’s the point we’re at.

              Significant improvement since taking office is a good first step for the Trump administration.

              It’s not a “good first step for the Trump administration.” Trump didn’t do shit to actually improve anything, it’s just that he has a significant following who defend anything and everything he does, or are willing to give a different face a chance. Democratic voters are more likely to vote reluctantly while still seeing the country on the wrong track if their guy wins. It means nothing. The minority of people who think like you are simply wrong and the majority who disagree with you are correct.

                  Lmao yes. I’m literally a communist.

                  I’m frequently accused around these parts of being a secret republican trying to sow chaos and help Trump win because of how much I criticize the democrats. Here’s my comment history searching for the word Biden and for Obama, if you want to see for yourself.

                    I didn’t search your user history. If your position is all the recent presidents are bad, then that is fine. I don’t have an issue with that.

      See this is the problem right here. 1/3 of Americans are deplorable, always have been, back to the founding fathers. And it only took 28% to elect Trump/Elon/Vance. How can the world ever trust the US political system again? It’s been hacked by Citizens United, and at this point has been completely corrupted by the billionaires. I do believe that it can be fixed, but it won’t be. This has been a long time in the making.

        What do you mean 28% to elect Trump? Are you including people who are ineligible to vote?

        Anyway, the problem is that you think the other side are deplorable instead of trying to understand why more voters voted for Trump rather than Kamala. You are the problem.

          Would love to hear your explanation as to why voters chose Trump over Kamala that doesn’t boil down to being duped into conflating popularity with functional policy.

          Our government is a clown show of reality TV rejects that you have rationalized as qualified due to a diet of purely manufactured infotainment.

          Anyone with any meaningful government experience has done nothing but warn you about how little fucks Trump gives about this country, but you think because he puts himself in front of an American flag he has every right to store all our countries most valuable secrets in a bathroom with a fax machine readily accessible to any foreign agent willing to pay Jared more billions.

          Trump has done nothing but shit in your mouth, and the only one believing it tastes good is you. Too bad generations of Americans will now have to eat it too because you’ve been tricked into thinking punishing made up enemies somehow equates to societal progress.
