Not with 50%+ of the country supporting this administration.

Its the people that are the problem. These policies and politics will outcast Trump because middle Anerica and The South are filled with morons.

Luckily he does not enjoy anywhere close to 50% support

Disagree.

Leadership matters.

A different leader could take the country in a different direction - with the same voting base.

Eg an actual policy of isolationism instead of instigating multiple foreign conflicts.

More bigots than morons. I’m folding American exceptionalism into bigotry along with all the usual aspects.

What a sad and tired take. Trump won both the electoral and popular vote. Discounting the opinions of over half the country as morons is exactly the type of behavior that got him elected.

The real number has been stable, in the 30-35% range, since 2015. Show you can engage the issue seriously before calling most of the country morons.

It's a shame that people mostly learn the hard way, and forget easily. But that's not the support now.
