Inhaling a lot of coal and chugging Mountain Dew with Doritos will do that to a dude

I am really surprised that that cover does not have some made up Latin motto. It would fit the pretentious aesthetic of the rest of the cover and it would perfectly highlight the fact that all of that conservative opposition to Trump was almost entirely for show.

I knew that almost every libertarian would "come home" despite Trump's authoritarianism. Every Evangelical (or at least every white evangelical) would "come home" despite Trump's rank ignorance of the Gospels and his vulgar style. Every pedantic, "constitutional conservative" would "come home" despite Trump's ignorance of both the laws and the norms related to American governance.

At its heart, conservativism is conquest, conquest and plunder. It is about the enforcement of hierarchy and every other thing that they talk about: rule of law, Christianity. the Western Tradition, civility, free markets, so called "small government" are all just part of a ruse and those ideals all exist in service of batting down groups that conservatives deem to be unworthy.

That cover was foolish when it was made and it has aged horrendously. It was dishonest then and now and it is as transparent as cling wrap, despite its pompous royal purple field and golden faux heraldry.

Then came the 1960s. And it was then that the so-called agitators pointed out that those charming Levittown havens — just like the Trump apartment complexes — had no welcome mat for blacks and those good middle-class occupations excluded women.

It was a generation that questioned God, fled the church, disparaged conformity, upended gender roles, asserted black power and criticized the military for Vietnam and the police for brutalizing civil rights workers, killing African-Americans and bullying antiwar protesters.

It also was a singular moment in our history that codified into law personal privacy rights and a woman’s right to control her own fate. It would begin our long cultural march to rethink masculinity and lift the taboo from same sex relations. It also launched an environmental movement that said yes to the Earth and no to the smokestack.

Maybe his approval is higher than we thought.

One comment says that these guys tend to poll "voters" vs adults.

We can confidently say that most people in this country are left leaning / liberal...

But the comment was referring to the people who actually get up and go vote.

Never thought of it like that.

Rasmussen, the one pollster that had The Bigot's approval rating at 50%, now has him at sub-40 along with the rest of the pollsters.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 39% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Sixty-one percent (61%) disapprove.

I wonder if Matt Drudge thinks is a **** pollster now...
