MAGA’s Theory of Trump’s Dismal Approval Ratings
The political result of Trump’s full populism in his second term appears to be largely the same as the political results of his first term: a president with an underwater approval rating and a drubbing in the off-year elections that portends a blue wave in the midterm elections.
So how exactly do congressional Republicans answer Trump’s question about why he and Republicans aren’t more popular in the mind of the public? Some Republicans contend the problem is simply one of messaging, while others claim the party needs to be even more populist. While polling shows Trump and the GOP faring poorly on the economy and affordability, few elected Republicans are willing to argue that Trump’s tariffs—at their highest level since the 1930s—are a source of the GOP’s political woes.
The core tenet of today’s Republican Party is that Trump cannot fail; he can only be failed. And according to Missouri GOP Sen. Josh Hawley, congressional Republicans have failed Trump by not fully implementing a populist agenda.

———— Murder in Minneapolis ————
I’m filled with rage. Just got a text from my son who lives in Minneapolis:
Morning Dad. Getting pretty scary around here; ICE was in (his employer’s) parking lot yesterday and then later stopped a friend who was out running with his dog and tried to intimidate him. Have photocopied my papers to have with me at all times, feels like I’m going to get stopped at some point.
He shouldn’t have to live in fear. We no longer live in a functioning democracy. Trump will probably die before ever facing justice but Vance, Noem, Miller, et al must have Nuremberg 2.0 trials.

I'm pretty sure this is one of the best posts you've ever written, @preparedwombat. But to be fair, I'm biased (being from Minnesota) and I really like you (being related to you and all) and I'm also a slacker and haven't read every post you've written.
This one hits close to home in more ways than one. Like other Minnesotans and U.S. citizens, I've been devastated by the killing of Renee Good and the immediate revision of history from the administration and its supporters. Hello! We have video. We have eyes. So yeah... love the whiskey neat t-shirt. And all the videos and X references. (Senator Kelly...OMG. Jerome Powell...OMG!!) This country can indeed be great again, but not under this leadership.
Do you think Canada would really take us??
Hell ya we would! Imagine being nice and standing up to the secret service and probably not enjoying the threat of medical bankruptcy and fighting for the people? I have been to MSP many times and loved it.
Cmon up! We have !BEER
A boy can dream.
As a Canadian, it wouldn't be the craziest thing to see happen if Trump decided to kick that hornet's nest.
