That sentence predicts the final number of supporters of Trump. That 1/4 will always support him. So, they are the strong die hard group. Yes, I think it will go down to that number. Maybe a little less. Perhaps 22 -24 percent at the lowest. Those are the right wing jerks. It won't get any lower. We have a lot of fascists. We always have had a lot of them.
Here is proof: Please look at that link to see how Nixon's support eroded because of Watergate. Up to the month when he resigned, he still had 24 percent support. That is where Trump is headed. Perhaps a little less. Trump is far more controversial than Nixon was. And Nixon had an appearance that he had it "together" Trump is the exact opposite. He projects the attitude that he is not all there. (in my opinion)

(38,414 posts)I also believe that the number of racists/haters has very gradually come down from say 1/3 in the early 1950s to say 1/5 now. And yes, that is an improvement. over time..................
Unfortunately, there is very little proof to support this. Other than the final count in favor of Nixon when he resigned in my earlier post. I think we are better now. If we are close to 80 percent ok people, we are improving. very slowly, but improving.
And that is indeed a good thing.

I think the House is almost a lock for the dems now but in my dreams we gain control of the Senate as well.

(38,414 posts)Most of us are very angry with Trump and his goons. and angry with McConnell, Ryan, and the rest of them. Sure they can blame us, but we will come out to vote cause that anger motivates. Yes...if we GOTV we will bury them in ways they never even imagined.

(28,270 posts)But that's with an average President that isn't selling out the USA to Russia, lying every other word, tweeting BS Fox lies 24/7 and saying KKK and Nazi killer groups have nice folks in them too!
I mean the list of deviant Trump behavior in one year in the white house is enormous!
The republicans have done NOTHING for the average American at all! Well they have done harm to us.
Trump has broken every promise he made to working class Americans and farmers too.
We are going to break the back of republican/Dump power this fall, that's why so many republicans are deciding to retire.
Rats abandoning the sinking USS Shitler!
