Along with that demographic dying off.

From the article, it was a 10% drop in approval ratings from boomers, compared to <3% drops among other groups (who already had a lower opinion of him)

They were completely fine with screwing everyone else over, fucking up the planet so long as the chief consequences didn't hit until AFTER they died off, but now that their Social Security is on the chopping block they're finally noticing.

Lots of leopards eating people's faces these days. Probably shouldn't have voted for the leopards eating people's faces party.

I'll believe it when I fucking see it. My Aunts and Uncles still love him, and they're not even American.

I notice that a lot with people that aren't even American.

What fucking business do they have with American politics? Go get citizenship before they pipe in on matters.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

It’s a global society, so American politics affects us all.

Last time he was in he did some shit that made timber prices jack up in Australia. Everything affects everything these days.

I hate him, he’s a dumb cunt.

I have a few friends that are Canadians that love Trump and want to be apart of the States. Then start your immigration process and F off then!

Deal with the ICE and the border and tell us how lovely it is.

Tbf the US probably has a military base in their country that they never asked for.

Does he care about approval rating anymore? If he stays in power, it won't be though an election.

He needs enough support that his most rabid fans will keep calling into congress with death threats if they don't let Trump do whatever he wants. The calls to congressional offices asking them to do fucking anything will drown those out.

Active duty service members look at how much veterans benefits are being cut--things they were planning on having for themselves later--which means the military isn't a reliable path to maintaining indefinite power. If Hegseth goes down, then they've thrown away any chance of controlling the military. He was supposed to be The Guy for that.

He's got ICE and maybe the FBI. Those can cause havoc on individuals, such as Gaza protesters and green card holders, but they're too small to grip the entire nation.

A lot will come down to city police and county sheriffs throwing in their support.
