This is the sad reality. Put three people in a room - 1 will be a trumper (on average of course)

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/

This plot is showing pretty remarkable stability. It really staggers the mind - 1 out of every 3 people surveyed looks at the past 2 hundred something days and says "bravo".

I don't think I can add anything more to that sad observation....simply inexcusable.

I'm the 1 out of 3 that isn't a Trumper.

They still believe Trump is trying to bring back American jobs. All the other stuff (statues, Russia, pardons) is noise to them.

The will continue to support Trump until they understand they have been had, or someone else picks up the American jobs banner.

I want a map of this. We are horribly divided by enclaves. It's not as if one in three people are evenly distributed throughout the country are okay with all this corruption and chaos. Everyone I know or talk to is in a state of either despair or panic. Nobody's "okay." But I can imagine that lots of people in, say, Nebraska, feel the opposite. Though probably not in its larger cities.

This divide of the urban-rural is starting to feel a lot like the 1930s. And it worries me to no end.
