    I find it baffling that there is still a double digit percentage of people who think the orange retard is a good president after these 2 months of nonstop disasters.

      Half of American adults have literacy skills at our below the 6th grade level. That’s functional illiteracy for an adult. They can read the individual words, but they don’t grasp the full meaning of them or together if it’s anything more than surface level.

      They don’t know wtf is going on around them.

        Many of them think that Fox is “too far left” and now opt for OAN, NewsMax, and similar, which are so much worse.

          yea i suspect younger than boomers opted for OAN, newsmax and grifters, like peterson, shapiro, musk, and,etc, Also they are drawn to Right wing videos on Youtube as well. adjacent grifters including incel coaches/pickup artists.

            Unfortunately I’ve heard it across the entire age spectrum of boomers… As well as their parents… Source: a friend has a large family that is mostly maga. Both sides 😬

            I’m unsure of their youtube habits, though. I mostly see them sharing and interacting with nonsense on facebook.

      Yeah, nothing’s ‘plunged’ at all. He’s still in the 45-49% approval rating he’s had since taking office. Hell, any ‘dips’ are statistically insignificant enough to possibly be rounding errors.
