Despite appearances, Trump's power is largely political. If he didn't have the support of the Republican party, he couldn't do most of the things he's doing, since Congress would override him.
But the reality is that he still has significant public support, from a public who get most of their current events from filtered, biased news media. In that way, we've actually become remarkably similar to Russia under Putin.
- boplicity 9mo agoTrump has around 90% support from Republicans. Honestly, this looks very much like 1930s Germany. I really wish that weren't an exaggeration.
- dragonwriter 9mo ago> Trump has around 90% support from Republicans. Republican ID is at around 27% of the electorate and on a downward trend; his support from independents who are much larger than either Dems or Reps is much less.

- encom 9mo agoMy statement implied no such thing - merely an opinion that all media is trash and unworthy of trust. For the most part. Same can be said for politicians. For the most part.
