They know they’re unpopular and they don’t care

Trump’s approval is around 35% or so, and those are mostly the cultists who will support him no matter what. It’s still lower than any other President at this point in their presidency.

The majority of Americans do not approve of anything he is doing, but the Republicans don’t care. They laugh and pretend they’re popular — mostly because they live in that bubble where they only pay attention to the news sources that suck up to them — but the fact is that they are tremendously unpopular.

And that’s why they cheat. That’s why they do everything they can to prevent people from voting. That’s why they ignore the laws and do whatever they want because they know they’ll lose otherwise.

And they’re successful often because they have spent years building to this point, filling courts with judges whose views are political instead of legal, gerrymandering to control legislatures, and knowing they can get away with it because we’re the “good guys” who won’t stoop to their level to stop them.

But hey, they don’t care who they hurt to get their power, to help their billionaire friends, to destroy people who aren’t like them.

I mean, seriously, this isn’t a fight between liberal and conservative any more; it’s more of a fight of good and evil.

The Republican platform 2025

“Hi, we’re the Republican party! We’re the ones who just shut down the government and are violating your Constitutional rights. We’re led by a rapist with 34 felonies who is suffering from dementia and who has the lowest approval rating of any President at this stage of his presidency. If you vote for us, we promise to cut every government program that helps you and will work to hurt everyone who is not a straight, white male! So, can we count on your vote in November?

Oh, did we mention that we’re actively hiding evidence about rich people raping young girls?”

(An apology: I’ve been so depressed over politics lately, I find it hard to write about it on this blog, although I do give small comments on my Facebook page often.)

We need more Democrats fighting back

I may have some problems with Newsom’s policies, but I love the way he’s trolling Trump. He’s posting tweets that mimic Trump’s deranged ramblings along with fake AI pictures of the type Trump posts. And when Republicans say he’s not acting like a Governor should, he just laughs and wonders why they never say the same about Trump’s unhinged posts.

There’s a reason the support for Democrats is at its lowest in years, and it’s mainly because we’re tired of moderate Democrats who are too scared to fight back and who won’t push for the liberal policies the majority of Americans want. Chuck Schumer and his “strongly worded letters” may have been how politics was done in the days of political decorum, but that ended when Newt Gingrich came along, and Democrats have yet to learn that you won’t accomplish anything that way any more.

No more “When they go low, we go high.” Ignoring the neighborhood bully only makes him more powerful.

I mean, I am not really looking forward to Newsom running for President but duh, if he gets the nomination, I’m going to vote for him. I mean, come on, the worst Democrat is still better than the best Republican these days.

Lymph node transplant diary

I’ve been a bit depressed to write too much about politics lately, but I do have some good news, if you don’t mind me sharing.

My wife, award-winning dryer lint artist Heidi Hooper (you may have seen her on ABC’s “To Tell the Truth” with Mel Brooks or on “Access Hollywood” or in Ripley’s Believe it or Not books and museums) had a major cancer operation around the turn of the century which took away much of the use of her right arm. She developed lymphedema which got worse over the years, and for the past 10 years or so was forced to get into a massaging machine for her arm three times a day for an hour each time. If she did not, the arm would expand, she’d be in terrible pain, and have to go to the hospital (and she did, too, from time to time when it didn’t work).

Just take a second and imagine if you had to do that, every single day, no holidays, no weekends, for ten years.

So when her doctor told her about a new procedure where they could transplant lymph nodes from her stomach to her arm and thus, if successful, prevent her from having to spend three hours a day in a machine, she decided to take the chance.

She made a video diary of the experience so that other possible patients would see what it was like.

And here it is.

Republicans don’t care about democracy

Poll after poll shows that the majority of Americans disagree with Trump and his policies. His approval rating is terrible and people hate his “Big, Beautiful Bill.”

But Republicans don’t care. They control all three branches of government, and given what the Supreme Court allowed Trump to do last week, apparently plan on changing the rules as much as possible to make sure no Democrat ever gets elected again.

It’s kind of hard to call this kind of government a “democracy.”
