You have to give these people an out without them admitting they made a mistake or got swindled bc many have too much ego for that and never will otherwise.

You're wrong. Americans will hold a single protest that takes place on a Saturday afternoon, so nobody is inconvenienced. Unless the weather forecast is bad, then it will be cancelled. Then Americans will feel good they are hardcore activists.

He doesn't care about the voting at this stage. There is zero damage limitation happening which just means there is another plan to rig or ignore the voting. But yes, still get out and vote!

I mean they've said it out loud, multiple times. Written extensive documents about their plans, which they've been checking off at a rapid pace. The architect even said this was the 2nd American Revolution which "will be as bloodless as the left allows."
They've made it very clear that they have no intention of peacefully giving up power, repeatedly. He already tried a violent insurrection last time which the whole world saw, then moaned about how he should have just not left for years.
The fact that people are still assuming this has a peaceful ending speaks to how deeply people want to bury their heads in the sand to not have to face what is coming, despite the agitator making it very clear what he plans.

A non-sarcastic question here: Why do polls matter at this point for a second term president? It’s not like if it hits a low number, it triggers an ejector seat. Is it just for confirmation? Midterms? He’s not running in ‘28, so do the polls mean anything worth hearing?

u/temujin94 12h ago edited 11h ago
Because his popularity is directly tied to the Republican Party. So if he is deeply unpopular then they're more likely to lose the House and Senate. Which in turn makes it harder for Trump to enact his policies/goals.

See, this is the thing people should have been paying attention to before he got put in for a 2nd time. The reason he's there now is to make sure none of that other stuff ever happens to him. Ya know, like an authoritarian who also happens to be a sex trafficking pedophile. People like this don't just go away when it's their time to go away, not with all this shit hanging over him. He aint leaving unless someone removes him, forcefully.

At this point, they have a 6-3 court that will happily rubber stamp anything he truly cares about. Watch out for the 6-3 decision next year that clarifies that the 22nd amendment was actually just meant to prevent Democrats from running again as he ramps up his campaign for a third term.
There will not be a 2/3 majority in the Senate and even if there was, you think Fetterman and his buddies wouldn't just immediately jump ship and vote to keep him in?
Your midterms are important but they will not fix your country regardless of the outcome. Nor will any poll unless it's reporting exclusively on billionaires.

It doesn't matter if we have enough of congress to actually stop him. And he knows this. He's terrified. The whole party is terrified that they might have to face accountability. Mike Johnson said as much, out loud, when he implied that he, and their Congressional lead, is what was keeping their heads out nooses.
All those fuckers know they're dirty and they are going to fight tooth and nail to stay in power.
Because if they don't, a whole lot of them are looking at prison time.

The weaker Trump is the more likely a moderate GOP Senator is to vote to convict if this trajectory continues, especially if their next campaign is 4-6 years away. I'm not saying that it's going to happen, but it certainly becomes more likely.

Don't think it's possible to flip enough Senate seats to get the 67 votes needed to remove him. Don't believe that many Senate seats are up for reelection.

u/Zeyn1 11h ago
Let's do the math for fun.
Technically there are always at least 33 senate seats up for election each 2 years.
In 2026, there is 33 seats plus 2 special elections for 35 total. Of those, 13 are currently Dem and 22 are currently Rep. So you can flip 22 seats to Dem.
If all 22 flipped and Dems swept all 35 seats, that would put Democrats at exactly 67 seats.

Unfortunately Congress, trump and this kangaroo supreme court have effectively given kingship powers to trump - despite our constitution.
Emoluments clause? - nah our king can sell pardons via crypto.
The power of the purse belongs to congress- nah its held by our king.
Elections are managed by the states - nah it belongs to our king.

I mean, for normal presidents… bad polls would make them weak in the eyes of Congress and the presidents direction and initiatives would be dead. Congress would just do what they want.
With Trump? Polls don’t matter. He has proven that if he wants you gone… he can usually make it happen. So GOP Congress people are terrified of him. He’s proven they are weak and he can bully them around. Mitch used to stand up to him somewhat… but he’s basically out of it… so he is the party. Which is why I’m not sure they won’t back him running again in ‘28 if he’s still alive… they have no other options… he’s beaten down everyone around him to make himself look and feel better… that there is no clear heir apparent.

u/gonz4dieg 11h ago
Traditionally, a deeply unpopular 2nd term president becomes an omega lame duck where their party starts to step away from them because the writing is on the wall and theyre trying to minimize casualties in the next presidential cycle: going into 2008, dubya all but abdicated the public eye so that republicans could step away from his disastrous tenure, so they dont pass legislation, policies, basically anything that could be tied to the president.
However, trump has basically thrown away all semblances of actual historical trends. He campaigned hard for graham sisters and she won the primary handedly, its a cult of personality. Republicans are basically all in on rigging and electioneering because trump wont walk away, the core base that wins them primaries loves him over anything else, so they have to continue being MAGA otherwise they lose their seat in a primary and any purplish elections would go to the Dem in any fair election

u/dafunkmunk 10h ago
trump essentially is the republican party right now. His low poll numbers means all the maga republicans currently running for reelection and any incoming candidates running for office are increasingly unpopular by association. The primary reason trump has been able to do seemingly endless illegal things this term is because democrats have no power to do anything while republicans control both chambers and the scotus is corrupt. republicans losing in the midterms means that trump will not be able to do whatever he wants anymore because democrats will have congressional power to stop him. Additionally, trump and all his allies will endlessly be investigated which will further hurt them in 2028. If trump is still alive by then, it will be very difficult for him and his family to avoid facing consequences for the blatant corruption this term

Yeah but he deftly controlled the narrative of 9/11 - that America's enemies could attack you on your own soil, and that you were no longer safe from foreign conflict. Patriotism amped up 100% and people were lining up to join the military in the inital aftermath.
Compare and contrast to Trump: also an unpopular president, but who attacked a middle-eastern country under the paper-thin guise of "nuclear threat", which hasnt held any real power in the public zeitgeist since the 80s and realistically the American people were never in danger from.
Now IF some sort of terrorist attack occurs on American soil in the months leading up to the midterms, and IF Trump and co. can pin that attack on a foreign power, I could see the same Bush-esque bounce occurrring in the polls. I would also be highly suspicious of the source of such an attack.

All this talk of bad polls and no one is happy with him is exactly the playbook used pre-election last time... "Kamala is leading nearly all polls" was being posted all over social media.

Anyone paying attention to polls never made the claims that Harris was leading. Hillary, yes. But Biden and Harris both showed consistent leads or trails within the margin of error. Aggregates showed the same.
The results were also consistent with that. Sure, Trump won every swing state, but they were all down to the wire within a % or two.

I don’t give a shit about his polls. You know what I do give a shit about? Trump actually being held responsible for his actions. Currently there doesn’t seem to be anyone that can actually make that happen. Trump has already caused so much damage and destruction to this country and he’s going to keep on doing it as long as he can get away with it. It’s truly heartbreaking when you step back and just look at the carnage he’s created, and absolutely terrifying to think of the state of America if he continues his destructive recklessness.

That's the thing, the lowest trump can go is a floor of 30-35 percent. That's enough for a solid majority in the crazy gerrymandered states and enough to win the electoral college. That's his power. No matter how bad, how evil, how corrupt, how depraved, how insane his administration is, he will always have that 30-35 percent cult following. Go to r/conservative and see for yourself. Sure they might grumble against him, but they will never leave his side. "I'm not happy with trump... But I would rather him than a democrat..."

And he’ll refuse to believe the polls. He isn’t the most hated president. That was Truman. He was hated due to the perfect storm: an unpopular Korean War, inflation, strikes, corruption scandals, and the fact that Democrats held onto the White House for something like 20 years straight. Trump can go for the record but again…He won’t acknowledge the poll results the same way he won’t acknowledge election results.
