Donald Trump\u2019s rapid descent into his own special hell is gaining speed. This hulking, demented racist conman will eventually land with a thud, with only the billions in cold, hard cash he has drained from the American taxpayer to cushion his collapse.<\/p>\n

Read more Trump and the GOP obliterated the Founders\u2019 key fix for a corrupt president<\/a><\/p>\n

Our standing on the world stage has taken a hit we might never recover from. We have no allies, only old neighbors who are watching in disbelief as the big, old white house on the block burns out of control. <\/p>\n

Our air and water is getting dirtier by the hour, and food prices are higher every time we wander into a store. Women have less rights than they did 50 years ago, and the Jim Crow South is back. Our government has been dismantled by greedy, billionaire Orcs, so that it works exclusively for them and not us.<\/p>\n

America has never been worse off, and that is the best we could have hoped for following that ghastly election in November, 2024, which handed Republicans the Executive, the Court, the House and the Senate.<\/p>\n

Because it actually could have been worse \u2026<\/p>\n

In the worst-case scenario, Trump would have been an incoherent madman able to rein in his worst instincts as a subhuman, and worked diligently to at least give the phony appearance he was doing all he could to keep prices under control, and America out of any asinine wars.<\/p>\n

He would have worked quietly behind the scenes raking in cash to ruin us at the behest of those billionaire Orcs, and most Americans wouldn\u2019t have been the wiser. <\/p>\n

As we have painfully learned over the past decade there are more than enough shallow people in America who are willing to go along with almost any abomination \u2014 including the caging of children \u2014 just as long as the gasoline they are pumping into their hulking vehicles is as cheap as they are.<\/p>\n

Under this worst-case scenario enough Americans would have gone along with Trump\u2019s very worst, because somehow they would have continued to believe the fantasy that their lives would improve, even if every metric told them otherwise.<\/p>\n

Republicans\u2019 chances going into midterms would be decent. There would be no talk of Democrats taking back the Senate, and plenty of predictions that Republicans would actually increase their advantage.<\/p>\n

Troops would be in the streets just in case.<\/p>\n

Three-dollar gas can mask a world of hurt in America.<\/p>\n

Well, that worst-case scenario didn\u2019t come to pass, and there are signs everywhere that upwards of 70 percent of Americans do not like what is happening in their country right now. Whether that matters or if it is too late is still up for debate, but at this moment, America still has a shot to save itself in the nick of time.<\/p>\n

A New York Times\/Siena poll released Monday has Trump\u2019s approval rating at 37 percent, which is the lowest number in that paper\u2019s polling since Trump hulked on the scene in 2016.<\/p>\n

Under the headline: Trump\u2019s Approval Sinks Amid Unpopular War, Darkening GOP Prospects<\/em> the case is made by the paper that \u2026<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 no president\u2019s approval rating has been under 38 percent for more than a few days in the last 17 years. If there has been a floor during this partisan era of politics, Trump\u2019s ratings today have fallen to it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Adding \u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most immediate political consequences is that Democrats appear increasingly well positioned for the midterm elections in November. The poll shows Democrats have a double-digit lead, 50 percent to 39 percent, when registered voters are asked which party\u2019s candidate they\u2019ll support for Congress.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you are one of those people saying right now that it is insane his approvals are that high, I will readily agree, but one of us hasn\u2019t been paying attention to the past decade during which America has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that it isn\u2019t even a good country, much less a great one …<\/p>\n

Under this best-case scenario we simply must accept that historically low approvals is the best we can hope for as we steam toward the latest most-important elections of our lives in November.<\/p>\n

The NYT poll mirrors an NPR poll two weeks ago that I typed about extensively. <\/p>\n

From that story:<\/p>\n

More than 80% of Americans say pain at the pump is straining their household budgets and a striking majority blames the president, according to a NPR\/PBS News\/Marist poll. The poll found that President Trump faces his lowest popularity ever and is experiencing major declines with key demographics since being sworn in for his second term. Most Americans said the economy isn\u2019t working for them. The war in Iran \u2014 which has directly led to higher gas prices \u2014 is increasingly unpopular. Those challenges have given Democrats a distinct advantage in the midterm elections. When asked which party\u2019s candidate they\u2019d vote for if congressional elections took place today, Democrats led by 10 points.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even in this redistricted mess of a country, if things continue to go along this way Democrats will take the House, and actually have one helluva chance of taking the Senate.<\/p>\n

This would have been unheard of if Trump was able to quiet the voices in his head and control himself and all his worst instincts.<\/p>\n

Right now, Trump is a nuclear-powered drag on his party, and even better yet in true authoritarian fashion is refusing to accept this reality.<\/p>\n

Like unpopular fascist leaders before him, he is cloaking himself in his own sad realities and surrounding himself with yes men, who will readily carry his garbage and dump it all over Americans. <\/p>\n

America is not a pleasant place right now, and only promises to get worse. <\/p>\n

At this stage of Trump\u2019s disastrous presidency it is very sadly all the Democratic opposition could have hoped for.<\/p>\n
