They were completely fine with screwing everyone else over, fucking up the planet so long as the chief consequences didn't hit until AFTER they died off, but now that their Social Security is on the chopping block they're finally noticing.

Lots of leopards eating people's faces these days. Probably shouldn't have voted for the leopards eating people's faces party.
Does he care about approval rating anymore? If he stays in power, it won't be though an election.
He needs enough support that his most rabid fans will keep calling into congress with death threats if they don't let Trump do whatever he wants. The calls to congressional offices asking them to do fucking anything will drown those out.
Active duty service members look at how much veterans benefits are being cut--things they were planning on having for themselves later--which means the military isn't a reliable path to maintaining indefinite power. If Hegseth goes down, then they've thrown away any chance of controlling the military. He was supposed to be The Guy for that.
He's got ICE and maybe the FBI. Those can cause havoc on individuals, such as Gaza protesters and green card holders, but they're too small to grip the entire nation.
A lot will come down to city police and county sheriffs throwing in their support.
From the article, it was a 10% drop in approval ratings from boomers, compared to <3% drops among other groups (who already had a lower opinion of him)
The weirdest fucking thing is that before the election, Republicans were desperate to NOT have Trump as their candidate. But now they enthusiastically beat their drums to the collapse of the country
When you wake up on the back of a tyrannosaurus, you know your choices are hold on or be eaten.
Pretty sure if I wake up on the back of a tyrannosaurus, I'm going to try and kill it so I'm not caught in the crossfire of everyone else trying to kill it.
This dude thinks he could kill a T-Rex
You just throw a stone in his eye like Jesus used to have to do
Honestly dude I don't know what they are teaching in history classes these days, no one knows anything. How do they think the Hebrews fended off the hittite reptilian calvary?
Politicians in this country are totally focused on the next election. Every once in a while you get someone who can see ten or twenty years down the line, but those are the rare exceptions.
Trump is getting votes, and that's all that counts.
Even in a sewer something has to be swimming at the top. They individually hope to be that something.
Republicans would be the first ones to bend the knee to escape the purges.
I'll believe it when I fucking see it. My Aunts and Uncles still love him, and they're not even American.
I notice that a lot with people that aren't even American.
What fucking business do they have with American politics? Go get citizenship before they pipe in on matters.
It’s a global society, so American politics affects us all.
Last time he was in he did some shit that made timber prices jack up in Australia. Everything affects everything these days.
I hate him, he’s a dumb cunt.
I have a few friends that are Canadians that love Trump and want to be apart of the States. Then start your immigration process and F off then!
Deal with the ICE and the border and tell us how lovely it is.
Tbf the US probably has a military base in their country that they never asked for.
What's propping him up then, all the Gen Y and Gen Z males?
You skipped a whole generation there.
GenX is the forgotten generation for a reason 😅
It's mostly a numbers game. Also, we came right after the boomers and they stole all the air out of the room for so long, we never really had our day in the sun. The "being centered generation" then skipped almost entirely to Gen Y and that's all we heard about for quite some time until now Gen Z and alpha....
Gen X doesn’t do anything.
gen x supported him larger numbers this time.
Millennials get a pass? Nope
Gen Y is millennials
Along with that demographic dying off.
