    Midwesterner here. Surveys show Trump’s approval rating between 40% and 50%, and here on the ground, I believe it. A lot of people are seriously misled. Fox News, OAN, and Newsmax are considered legitimate news sources, so a lot of people truly believe that Trump is improving things.

    It will take decades to deprogram all the people who fell for the alt-right’s tricks.

      So, in a conversation with someone in the midwest who said he watched Trump’s state of the union address and was appalled by the protests organized by the Democrats, that they are beyond lost because they would protest something that anyone should agree with (I think he was referring to not clapping for some veteran or something?) … anyway, yeah - we’re cooked as a country. ☺️
