Hoover kept >70% of his 1928 votes in 1932, and...
but this is only like half of that so it's probably fine. (And, yeah, some portion of disapprovers probably keep voting R. Not easy to get a landslide anywhere near this these days. But it's very much not nothing!)

Problem is this theory would seem to preclude ANY fight out of fear MAGA voters might notice: don't let the government shut down in an attempt to fight for healthcare, don't release files on the president's pedophile friend...
None of which seemed to hurt. Depressing R's is also a strat!

it would be so funny if It Happens seeing how long the media reflexively spins out "some critics say the President appeared to no longer be living" or if they snap right to "well obviously everyone knew he wasn't in good health, so there was no point in reporting on it earlier"

America's diversity is beautiful; we can have a Jewish man lecturing Europe that they must protect their Christian, European heritage.

given the doctrine of Kavanaugh stops and presidential immunity, I believe any Democratic president legally can and *must* detain him for a while, deny any documentation he attempts to show, and pay no restitution if they ever get bored and let him go

what gets me is they're the one policy he seems to actually care about (beyond general racism), even has some historical trivia memorized, and he still doesn't know a thing about them!

I feel like my cohort already saw a little "being polarized left specifically because TPUSA etc. were so annoying and easy to mock", critical support in their mission for more of that!

gotta say the incident when the IDF killed two escaped Israeli hostages attempting to surrender because it believed them to be Palestinian civilians did not do much to dispel that narrative!

I *guess* there were always other, worse possibilities for "inside job", but I like the implication there's a chunk who believe Bush Did 9/11 and that they should vote for his party.
At least the old few-% crosstab of "Biden stole the election, which was good" was consistent!

and as we all know, before that they were always at peace, on account of being white, civilized countries who would NEVER start a war for a hundred years, or a world war, or a world war when left to their own devices; just zero disputes whatsoever that could make some sort of governing body useful

Pacific Rim having "we need to cooperate internationally [with giant robots] to deal with the impacts of climate change [kaijus] instead of putting resources into a useless wall" in 2013 still gets me
