Corrupt, Racist and Cruel

[malaise]

Perfect

Nearly half of Americans would describe President Trump as "corrupt," "racist" and "cruel" in new polling full of midterm warning signs for Republicans.

Why it matters: Trump's approval numbers are falling across the board.
By the numbers: In a new Economist/YouGov poll of 1,682 adults published Monday, about 56% of Americans strongly or somewhat disapprove of Trump's job performance — and they're using harsh words to show their discontent.

Numbers seem low still😀

1. The only 56% number is depressing. Are 44% of the country Nazis?

[malaise]

2. I think at least 30% of citizens in most countries pay no attention to anything

They live from day to day oblivious of reality

8. Agree, busy with work, kids and little time to keep up with current events

7. A good number of them are just as racist and cruel - I would bet about 25-30%

Even for the ones that claim not to be racist - they are way too damn comfortable with racism.
For example, I saw a clip of Savannah Chrisley guest hosting on The View. ( If you recall, she spoke at the RNC and trump pardoned her parents)
Well, she went on to tell us that trump is not racist. She knows he's not racist because "he helped her black friend".

She was so adamant of her defense. A white woman who grew up privileged - never having to face the harshness of racism or discrimination herself. Never having to think about her skin color and how it affects any aspect of her life telling - that she is so sure that trump is not racist.
I don't know if she is racist herself. But she is way too damn comfortable with racism.

My other pet peeve- Why was she even given this guest host position?
What qualification does she have?
She does not bring any experience, expertise - She seems incapable of having nuanced discussions.
It boggles my mind that Rogan, the guy from Fear Factor is now some king maker in politics and millions of people take advice from him.
Same thing here, why should anyone listen to anything Savannah Chrisley has to say about politics or current events?

12. She got the position because she's a pretty, white, blonde reality show celebrity. Look at most of the Fox news hosts

Look at Erika Kirk. They're female nazis.

15. Anybody who insists trump isn't racist is either racist

or so fucking colonized they'll join ICE and commit crimes against their own ethnicity on behalf of white supremacy.

3. To raise his poll numbers Trump will be even more corrupt, racist and cruel.

4. My big hope is that those voters just stay home because of well founded doubt.

That's all it takes.

5. If you add that all up: he's Evil

Trump “heads” an Empire of Evil.

Hope he gets more than the book thrown at him.

6. On

STEROIDS in all caps

10. Good concise summary of Dump's character.

11. Numbers seem low still😀

Perhaps if they added misogynist, sexual predator, conman, grifter, scammer, fraudster, embezzler to "corrupt" "racist" and "cruel" the numbers would be better.

14. And that's still a short list

16. Fixating on Trump again.

His whole game is getting people to fixate on him. He's the Republican red cape, and we're the bull in the bullfight.

We're clinging to a lead in this election, but it's far from over. We need to focus on the negatives of our actual opponents in the elections and focus on our own negatives and positives. That's three total areas that are not Trump. Just an opinion.

[Joinfortmill]

18. We can do all that.

[gulliver]

19. We totally can

But one of the four is a lot easier. It will have a lot more volunteers.

17. More of this, please.
