I had to do a double-take on the fact that Trump's approval rating has been steadily improving since the beginning of January. Jesus fuck people are ignorant. I guess I shouldn't be surprised with the wealth inequality, the media consolidation, the education standards the way they are...
- You have to stop and think, where are they getting the data? I'm not even sure if you call it confirmation bias, or journalists with guns to their heads.
- Whenever I think "man, the people around me can't be that stupid right?" Then I get in my car and drive around for about 15 minutes and realize that yes in fact they are that stupid.
- I think that's all about who's doing the polling and how they are doing it: https://abcnews.go.com/538/trump-approval-polling-average-works/story?id=117999010
- Thats what happens when the average joe gets his news from Xitter or Fox News. They get rid of all critical thinking skills for the sake of owning the libs and freeze peach.
  Trump could literally burn down their studio and Fox news would still spin it like “The democrats would have done even worse”
  
  I had a conservative admit they receive the the bulk of their news from Twitter, and Tim Pool. But simultaneously exclaims without evidence that AP/Reuters are not to be trusted. JFC.
- Trump said he was going to raise the price of Canadian and Mexican things by 25%, then he didn't do that.
  Wouldn't that improve your opinion of him?
  
  No, it would make me pissed off that he’s instigating shit with our neighbours.
- The fact that his approval rating still exists after that first term shows that he can do whatever he wants and his followers will still support him. It's a cult, nothing will change that.
  
  The best ratings you can buy!
- Approval ratings tend to go up as people fear to speak against their oppressor.
