    While 76 percent of Republicans say they are satisfied with the direction of the country

    What the absolute fuck?? These fucking people would be happy with the direction of north Korea. Decades of relentless propaganda have really done a number on these people and destroyed their critical thinking

      Imagine you were a vaguely decent “Republican”, who sees what Trump is doing and his the broader party is enabling him, and dislikes it.

      When you get polled, what are the chances that you decide to identify as independent rather than claim that Republican affiliation soon?

      65% of Republican voters are ages 50 and over, these people don’t really care about anything except their retirement accounts. So long as Republicans can keep the stock market growing they don’t give a shit.
