It's affecting people/families personally. That's what's happening. Pain for "others" was okay.



"According to the poll, just 46 percent of rural voters now approve of Trump's job performance, while 45 percent disapprove. In February, 59 percent approved and 37 percent disapproved.

Trump's approval rating has also declined slightly among urban, small city, and suburban voters. Among big city voters, his approval has dropped from 42 percent to 40 percent. Among small city voters, his approval has dropped from 42 percent to 36 percent."

Rural people are the poorest. It's not that surprising to me.

Political beliefs matter...until they don't. Poor rural MAGA voters are not going to keep cheerleading for Trump when he is destroying them financially, I don't care how stupid a person is.

And that's why the Democratic Party should be listening to Bernie Sanders and Sherrod Brown and try to reach people like this.

This is where I disagree. MAGAS are not politically based. They simply follow their cult leader.
I firmly believe that hardcore MAGAS would condone Trump molesting their minor daughters and then try to rationalize it somehow.

When the pictures start appearing of half-empty shelves at Walmart in MS and AL and Idaho, let's see how rural MAGA voters feel about it. Even these idiots are going to know who to blame...because it has never happened in this country before.

This will be like pictures of bread lines during the Great Depression...devastating to Trump and the Republican Party for the next 20 years.
 
It needs to continue to get low enough for whatever reasonable people who are left in the GOP to grow a spine.
Exactly. It’ll take a large portion of Traitor Trump’s voters turning on him before elected Republican’s grow enough spine to stop him.
 
As with so many other things, a growing number of Trumpers like the idea but are not at all happy with the execution.
 
And yet if they get a chance I guarantee most will vote for him again.

With big, manly tears of gratitude.

It needs millions in the streets all around the country for even weeks on end, at the very least.

Something big enough that either his narcissism can't take it and he folds while claiming victory no matter how implausible, or something big enough that Republicans move against him consistently en masse.

I'd hope so. But today's average human seems to have the attention span of a severely concussed goldfish.

Last time around it took 3-4 generations for enough people to forget the Depression and its causes. Next time it might take 3-4 years.

And they want to cut medicaid? They might as well slash their own wrists.

If the GOP cuts Medicaid, in my opinion, the party is over.

Yep. Trump will distract them with culture war bullshit. “If you don’t vote for me, the Communist Dems will force your kids to be trans!”
 
The leopard wasn't supposed to eat my face.

..... ..... ..... It was supposed to eat the other guys face.

I have my doubts. I think that Trump has a base support in the high 30's no matter what happens.

Culture wars are a hell of a drug.

I should have been clearer. I didn't mean the GOP I meant this republican controlled government. Pain is all good and well as long as it hits the Dems but when it starts eating their own, I think tempers might get a bit testy? This administration is nothing but chaos with a very healthy dose of go **** yourself, we'll do what we want.

That may be true, but the Republican Party will get decimated in elections if they can't get 40% of the public to vote for them.

And if Trump makes things bad enough, a lot of new voters will turn out to vote against them, too.....and a lot of unenthusiastic MAGA voters will just stay home.
