An unpopular Trump regime could benefit Democrats in the midterms – at least in House races.

An unpopular Trump regime could also benefit Democrats in state and local elections.

And an unpopular Trump regime could influence enough Senate Republicans to join Democrats to oppose reckless, irresponsible measures from the House.

voting for him, that Americans in increasing numbers share our fears. These are the people we need on our side if we are to defeat Trump. You can't tell me, your weren't encouraged as you saw the tide of public opinon moving against the Vietnam war. Wasn't that part of your objective?

If the majority of the people don’t support the would be dictators.

from office. He would drag them down with them, and they know it.

In Virginia the republicans are starting the purple caucus ,whatever that means. Fecal matter is very unpopular here and they are trying to play both sides. People will be motivated to vote against trump and they know it.

They fear the town halls. Imagine that. They fear their red districts and are too afraid to show up.

Stefanik recalled as they would LOSE that special election.

Exactly correct. We are not in normal times.

1) Unpopularity will not leverage the fascist party back to democracy.

2) Given what I have read, the leverage being held on these bootlickers ranges from being popular and "one of the guys," swearing an oath of loyalty, God's vison, big money, gambling debt, threats against family, drugs, porn, pedophilia, compromising videotape and other evidence or the appearance of hard evidence, loss of positional power, rape, fraud, possibly murder, death threats, and crimes of treason, I'm not sure what strategic leverage we can muster that would overcome this cemented in fascist bloc.

I think they are committed to the enterprise and though they are having many losses, they are winning a lot too.

We will know they were unpopular AFTER they have all been thrown out of elected office, off of corporate boards, and out of CEO chairs!

So opinions might matter, votes might matter.

But yes it is doubtful that any of that matters any longer.

crazy. Anything higher than a two percent approval rating demonstrates how sick our society has become.

Mump only has the power he has because the republicans in Congress are not opposing him. If he becomes unpopular enough, if enough people in red states start saying, "Oh, shit, this is hurting ME!" the money people will stop backing the reps, and Congress will start voting against him.

As far as concrete action, don't let anyone tell you there's nothing we can do. Here are two lists of things we could do today, but are not doing.

Directing public opinion, dominating the news cycles, are important parts of this. It's something we suck at, and we need more negative messaging on the administration, not less.

Also, 3..2..1.. till some brain trust says, "What are YOU doing," thereby proving they didn't read and have no concept of what we're up against here.

Instead of dealing with the failures that have led to his drop in support, the president is blaming pollsters and news organizations.

I see them as real-time instruments available for observing the snapshots public sentiment and tracking opinion and momentum. I'm not asking it to make conclusions for me, and I doubt many are. If he's -627% underwater, I tend to think it's directly relevant to the here and now.

The only reason tRump got to apply his disastrous tariff taxes is because the Republicons voted to give up their authority over tariffs.
