There are many many more people desperate to get off Mr Trumps Wild Ride by any means possible than there are those who are content to just stay on because they're feeling largely indifferent.
Also no ones actually indifferent. Anyone who claims they're indifferent or just going with the flow is a Trump supporter who just doesn't want to admit it. So again who cares what they think.
This is a zero sum game.

As a Kent State alumnus, the University does (or did, I was away from campus after 09) a great job of memorializing and paying tribute to the shootings but they really don't point out the fact that the public didn't give a shit.
I just finished Before the Storm (Nixonland is on hold at the library), and it's both shocking and totally obvious that Goldwater in 64 had a shitload of support from teen and college groups. After all, every generation has to rebel against something, and by that point they had never known a society that didn't believe in the government to solve problems (even under Eisenhower), so there was a nascent groundswell being influenced by the Hannitys and Limbaughs of the day.
Perlstein's trilogy is part of an on-going reading project that also included Days of Rage, which should be mandatory reading for people who think we're worse off now, and that new book about the Democrat implosion under Kennedy and Carter in the late 70s.
Yeah, the Millennials' are the first generation to be as left wing as people always assume young people are.
The Southern Strategy and appeals to white supremacy after politics divided along civil rights?
But you were probably being rhetorical.
this is why you look at aggregates, guys, not one individual poll.
Or we're more aware of the bubbles.
John Birchers could make QAnon look sane.
Civil Rights.
Also lead poisoning courtesy of the cars traveling those highways.
You can also talk about how weakening unions removed racist white people's reason for voting Democratic.
But it's all tied together.

It's because of modern media and social media that we know when horrible things like black churches being burnt down or Nazis rallying somewhere happen and a response can be organized against such things so that they happen a lot less. Back in the day those things just happened in parts of the country. It was a way of life that the local Klan all regularly met up to intimidate a black neighborhood or firebomb a black church and the news of it never went further then the next county over because why would it, that's just how things were. Violent racists didn't need to hide in internet bubbles, they were all down at the local Elks club for the Sunday pancake breakfast.
Reagan supported amnesty for undocumented immigrants both because he was legit to the left of the modern day party on the issue, and because he knew that he'd benefit politically from Dems voting for it.
This is a good point I hadn't really thought about. All kinds of mass murders probably happened even and cops just covered it up in the south for decades.
He was smart in understanding that the more hard workers you have the better economy you have, but he also shot that concept in the foot with trickle down.
Rich GOP folks can't seem to understand that of workers are paid better it helps everyone's bottom lines. They just hyper focus on their own personal immediate bottom line re taxes.
Also because actual free market conservatives LOVE the cheap labor pool that immigrants provide.
We end up idealizing Eisenhower because we are so far removed. Don't forget while he did a lot of good, he was also convinced atheism was a communist conspiracy.
I mean no one is perfect, and while still a bad idea to have compared to all the GOP presidents we've had after(and some Dem one's) he's a Saint.
Ike was a Cold Warrior but he did come into office while Stalin was still in power so some of that can be understood.
This random Twitter user doesn't seem to know much about constitutional freedom of speech.
Yeah, put Farrakhan back on social media!
Wait, what?
Edit: wow that comments on that tweet are just a massive tire fire that's pretty much a microcosm of our country today.
Sorry, but fuck this guy. I'm done with him, he needs to go. His stupidity is too damn dangerous.
Another alt right grifter that doesn't understand the first amendment.
Lol continuing to monitor. What you gonna do you dumb dumb. Sue Twitter? Read the ToC. Galaxy brain motherfucker.
Ah yes, noted "Conservative Thinker" *checks notes* James Woods...
A washed up actor is not a "conservative thinker" just because he has no jobs to take up his time and wastes it whining on twitter.
Disney still hires him as Hades!
That must take up..... 5 minutes of his time per year on average!
Oh no not *checks notes* FUCKING PRISON PAUL ARE YOU KIDDING ME
That literally describes Trump and he is now the head of the Republican party.
Fuck, what a society that is. Thank them for the Koch brothers.
Any good quotes? Or a link to a replay of the video?
I know one thing, I had BETTER see a Kamala bump in the next series of polls because she is having a moment with this Barr testimony.
Queen Warren is giving us Progressive Policy like nobody else.
Queen Harris just gave a masterclass on how to snatch a fuckboy's soul in 8 minutes.
I stan only Queens.
