Approval ratings might get Orangeass to rant and rave, but I don't think it will get him to change course or slow down.

Trump could be cutting off heads and putting them on pikes and as long as it's not their friends heads they will be fine with it.

And if the GOP attacks Social Security and Medicare, as long as the GOP exempts current beneficiaries these sociopathic seniors will accept that sacrifice is needed. Even if it affects their own children and grandchildren.

of friends of mine joined in a LONG conversation of people chiming in who's family members were immigrants. I'm sure there were more among the commenters, but I only knew two for sure.

They were not happy with what Trump did.

And pay attention to what exactly they're not happy about. Is it the rank incompetence? The cruel policies? Something else? If they've seen that much for themselves, encourage them to keep watching the Trump administration with an analytic eye. They're going to find more stuff that doesn't make them happy, I'll wager. Encourage them to keep seeing it.
