    Not that I’ve seen. On some issues, he’s down a lot, but overall has him in the 37-42 range. Which is about 50 too high

    There’s a solid core that will never abandon him, and a squishy shell that could, but only consumes right wing propaganda

      Working in hospice, I regularly come across patients/family members who actively seem to avoid anything that could potentially challenge their beliefs.

      Step one, vote orange because R. Step two, remove anyone or anything from your life that makes you uncomfortable or requires reflection. Step three, exist comfortably with your head in the sand while the rest of the world burns.

        I mean lots of people do the same thing on the other side, but many deem it as reasonable because they agree with the viewpoint. It’s natural when the opposition is considered to be wrong and irrational to cope by removing all interaction. It doesn’t matter which side, it’s true for both. When it gets to an extreme point, you get civil war or capitulation.
