Bad Dog!! Bad Dog!!

From the beginning, it looked to me that wannaBePresident Huey Long 2024's base stood around 25% of the electorate. My reasoning has always been that his support, real blind approval, had to come from those with minimal critical thinking ability at the nether end of the Republican party, which has been the distant minority affiliation for decades. He just lies so much, always with the goal of ego-flation. Put another way, his blind approval comes from the minimally educated, bigoted white folks who live vicariously through his malignanat narcissism: "If I were as rich and nasty as him, I'd be just as nasty!".

In sum, a quarter

In the poll, three-quarters of respondents said Trump bears either a lot or some responsibility for the riot, while only 24 percent said he isn't responsible at all. [my emphasis]

Only those completely in thrall to exPresident Mumford would absolve him.

Today's news is a bit better, but damning with faint praise

It means Trump will be the first president in the polling era to end his first term with an approval of below 40%, the first with a disapproval rating north of 50% and the first with a negative net (approval - disapproval) rating.

This was always an attempt at minority rule at best, and elected dictatorship at worst. The insurrection showed anyone with functioning eyesight who his supporters are: "Swamp People" the uneducated rural elite determined to tell us city folks that they're the ones to run a modern country. Swell.
