Trump's Numbers Have Hit Rock Fucking Bottom (And The Worst Is Yet To Come)

Just how fucked IS Trump and his party of pedophiles? Very VERY fucked.

It’s a sad day in America when a tiny, petty little copycat of a tyrant can start a war of choice in the Middle East and the country doesn’t rush to praise him as a conquering hero. Whatever happened to good ol’ fucking American pride?!?! Has the United States of ‘Murika become too goddamn woke and filled with weak-kneed liberal pussies to celebrate our massive indisputable AWESOME military victory in Iran that has resulted in exactly zero of our stated objectives and has made the price of gas (and everything else) shoot through the fucking roof?

Ummmm…looks like the answer might be…yes?

Most voters think President Trump made the wrong decision to go to war with Iran, a New York Times/Siena poll found, leaving the Republican Party on rocky political footing heading into the midterm elections as his approval rating sinks and economic concerns rise.

Majorities of voters said that the war was not worth the costs and held deeply pessimistic views about the economy.

73% of Independents rejecting your stupid war and the inflation it’s causing is not an electoral kiss of death going into the midterms. It’s the throat fucking of doom.

How much trouble is Trump in? Soooo much fucking trouble. This is not a blip. This is a trend and it’s been going on for too long to ignore:

A four-point decline isn’t necessarily huge, but it puts Mr. Trump’s ratings in new political territory. While recent presidencies have often been unpopular and polarizing, no president’s approval rating has been under 38 percent for more than a few days in the last 17 years, according to our average. If there has been a floor during this partisan era of politics, Mr. Trump’s ratings today have fallen to it.

But let’s be more specific. Let’s look at what’s coming and what happens next. There are two things to consider here.

1. 37% is what the Professional Left Podcast calls “The Sarah Palin Floor.” This is the lowest Trump can go. Maybe. This is the 37% of Americans who will lick Trump’s unwashed balls while he is raping their 14-year-old daughter and thank him for the privilege. He can shoot their family dog, and they will beg him to stay for a dinner of unseasoned mashed potatoes and boiled chicken. He can burn their house down in the middle of winter, and they will marvel at how their favorite president DONALD J. TRUMP!!! made a campfire for them.
   
   But worshipping Trump does not translate into worship for the Republican Party. No matter how tightly the party clings to Trump’s leg and humps it for all they’re worth, his cult will inevitably vent their frustrations on them, mostly by not voting. They may understand, intellectually¹, that their godking needs them to vote, but they’ll be sooooo fucking mad at the GOP, they’ll just stay home.
   
   The end result will be a blue wave that the legacy press won’t even bother trying to downplay like they did in 2018.² Gerrymandering will not save them if their voters do not turn out.

2. As I have been reminding people since last year: We still have not reached the really nasty part of Trump’s economic disaster. We’re about to, though. We crossed the event horizon weeks ago, and it’s too late to stop Trump’s oil shock from impacting the country now. Even if Iran surrendered today and reopened the Strait of Hormuz, it wouldn’t matter. Even if Trump capitulated and gave Iran everything they wanted right now, it wouldn’t matter. If they shook hands and reached a deal neither side really likes but restores peace and gets the oil and fertilizer shipping again, it wouldn’t matter. The damage is already done, and we’re going to start feeling the real effects in the next couple of weeks, long before any oil from the Gulf could possibly reach us. You still have some time to prepare, but that time is running out:
   

   But let’s be honest…Trump is too stupid and arrogant to end his war of choice. He started it to look good on TV, and now that it’s a disaster, he has no idea how to get out of it without looking like the fucking loser he’s been his entire life. He went to China on his knees, begging to be bailed out because when Trump has fucked up, like he has so many MANY times in his life, someone always bails him out. His father, the American mob, the Russian mob, Elon Musk, some bigger piece of shit has always swooped in to pick up the pieces because Trump was a useful idiot who served their agenda. But now, Trump failing serves China’s agenda, and they’re the only bigger piece of shit in a position to help. Womp-womp for us.

   
   Did you know the Opinionated Ogre has a weekly podcast? It’s true! New episodes every Thursday! Catch the latest episode here:

   The American economy (and the global economy with it) is going to contract, hard. A lot of people are going to lose their jobs, their benefits, access to health insurance, food banks are going to be overwhelmed because the regime has crippled them, and on and on and on. Unlike what Fox News would have us believe, most of those people aren’t going to be minorities in cities. They’re going to be rural whites, aka, Trump voters, aka “real Americans.”
   
   They will be furious, but even in their psychotic fugue state of racism, misogyny, and bigotry, it’s really hard to tell yourself that immigrants and Trans kids made the price of gas and inflation go up. Even Fox News has been talking about how closing the Strait of Hormuz is a problem for consumers. The dimmest of MAGA will be able to connect those dots.

   
   Trump may be the Second Coming of Christ Himself, but when a few million more of his disciples lose their homes and their retirements because of him, they’re going to discover what we’ve known all along:

So what happens when Trump destroys EVERYTHING? We can look to the last Republican cult and how they responded when their infallible divine messenger shit the bed. When George W. Bush annihilated the economy and left two disastrous wars in his wake, his cult magically discovered that they never supported him from the beginning. Praise JAY-zus! They were never Republicans! Heavens no! They were the Tea Party! Or Constitutional Conservatives! Or “Independents!” We saw this with Bush, and we will see it with Trump because Republican voters hate one thing in this world more than they hate us,³ and that is being demonstrably wrong.

They erased Bush because he was so terrible that they couldn’t avoid the reality that he had destroyed the economy and their lives. Trump is heading down the same road, but worse. What choice will they have? Blame Joe Biden for attacking Iran? I mean, they can try, but I’m not sure even the most cult-brained inbred MAGA will be able to tolerate sounding that fucking stupid for long.

Trump’s cult will kill for him. They will die for him when they believe diseases and vaccines are a hoax. They will not, however, tolerate ongoing inconvenience and poverty for him. When it costs $100 or more to fill the manly pickup every week, and the grocery bill tops $250, while Trump won’t stop talking about his fucking ballroom? Well, that’s a man who doesn’t care about me and my red-blooded, God-lovin’ American family. That’s an out-of-touch billionaire and maybe he was one of them all along. That’s why I’m an Independent and never voted for that lying piece of shit, and any Trump bumper stickers you see on my F-150 were probably put there by some commie-pinko leftist!

The Trump cult will lie, cheat, steal, and murder for their Dear Leader and they will vote away their future time and again. But when the bill comes due, there’s only so much they’ll put up with before abandoning their cult and pretending they were the victim all along.

George W. Bush found that out the hard way, and I think Trump is now going to learn the same hard lesson in the very near future. Just breaks my little Ogre heart…

There are 168 days until the most important midterm election in American history. The regime is afraid, and they should be. We are legion, and they are weak. Stay strong. You are never alone.

1. I said MAGA are capable of intellect! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHH! I’m such a kidder!

2. Most people do not remember this, but the press literally spent almost a month declaring the ‘18 wave a dud even as Republicans lost more seats than at any point since Watergate.

3. “Us” meaning women and Blacks and homosexuals and Trans people and Asians and Jews and Latinos and Muslims and the poor and the mentally disabled and the physically disabled and and and and unto infinity.
