  • Best President Ever

    Maybe this is how Conservatives get their news, but the facts are right underneath it.

    The sad fact is, that those approval ratings never have a 0-100% span. Approximately 50% of the US voters cannot think for themselves, they vote the same every single time no matter what has happened.

    So in reality maybe the span, at best, will be 25-75% (don't quote me on that number). This means that e.g. 68% is really high, just as 38% is extremely low.

    The same goes for e.g. a POTUS election, the difference between a donkey and an elephant is always much closer than you would expect in a country where people have received a good education, which includes learning all there is to know about critical thinking.

    74 million people can't be wrong, Trump is a stable genius.

    I find it exhausting to read messages from people who think Trump won the election, that he was an excellent president, that Biden should be impeached because he helped his son prosper with Ukraine, etc., etc. These people call me a "leftie" or a communist, but the fact remains that I consider myself a Democratic Socialist.

    74 million people can't be wrong, Trump is a stable genius.

    LOL ... Good one.

    From the article:

    HEADLINE:
    Biden Begins Term With 57% Job Approval.

    From the body:
    Biden receives near unanimous approval from his fellow Democrats, at 98%, and a solid 61% approval rating among political independents. But Republicans are unlikely to approve of Biden, with 11% doing so while 85% disapprove.

    74 million people can't be wrong, Trump is a stable genius.

    Well, 8.5 million people were Nazis in 1945.

    Over 1.6 billion (with a "b") people are Socialists right now.

    If 74 million people can't be wrong then.... um, are you sure you want to stick by that statement?
