Support NeoGAF

Most people who are on the Trump train say they are definitely, absolutely never getting off -- no matter what.

Six in 10 people who approve of President Donald Trump (61%) say they can't think of anything Trump could do that would make them disapprove of his job as President, according to a Monmouth University poll released this week.

So who are the most hardcore groups of Trump backers? Women who approve of Trump are most likely to say they will never change their minds: 72% of female Trump approvers say they will never strip their support, vs. only 54% of male Trump approvers.
Also, 68% of approvers over 55 years old say they won't stop supporting Trump, along with 67% of approvers who have a high school degree or less and 67% of approvers who make under $50,000 per year.

Thats close to 40 million religiously devoted supporters of President Trump, many of whom are volatile, highly combustible extremists.
Trump is at his most dangerous while he's in the White House, but his cult following will give him an enormous capacity to stir up trouble and discord long after he's left office.
He will be a destabilising, toxic influence in American politics and culture for decades to come.

How do women even like this guy he treats women like shit.

 

[cackhyena]

Sigh

 

[Ivan 3414]

When you search for demagogue on Google

He will never lose his following

 

[CrisKre]

Stupidity: the thread.

 

[adamsapple]

Stupid is as stupid does.

 

[FullMetaltech]

How do women even like this guy he treats women like shit.

I know. After all the shit hes said.

 

[Lkr]

How do women even like this guy he treats women like shit.

I mean you could say the same thing about fundamentalist religions here in this country yet they still support the religion. Stockholm syndrome? Idk

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

How do women even like this guy he treats women like shit.

He makes liberals mad seems to be the thing his supporters like most in my experience.

 

[Slayven]

Who is stills hocked by this?

 

[Korigama]

Cultists. It's not even debatable.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

welp..

 

[Skellig Gra]

How do women even like this guy he treats women like shit.

Not even going to attempt to answer that

 

[TheCochese]

How do women even like this guy he treats women like shit.

Killing babies and the fight to ban it.

 

[Reverend Funk]

How do women even like this guy he treats women like shit.

Ugh women always love chads

 

[newjeruse]

I definitely believe it.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

If you are a woman who is misguided enough to like Trump, you've crossed a threshold beyond which you will never return. Makes perfect sense.

 

[Not]

He really is their dream come true, huh

 

[NoRéN]

How do women even like this guy he treats women like shit.

I live in Los Angeles.

Allow me to tell you what I've had women tell me.

"He has the right idea. Most women don't know what's best for them. A woman's place is in the kitchen? I mean, were those times that bad?"

In liberal Southern California.

 

[yanipheonu]

I'd almost respect the amount of loyalty on display. Too bad it's to a guy not worth putting your trust in. Imagine if this faith was placed in, y'know, good people.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

that adds up to around 30%, which somehow seems to be his approval rating floor

 

[HStallion]

He really is their dream come true, huh

He's their ideal. Their ubermensch

 

[Daingurse]

Who is stills hocked by this?

Yeah, this isn't surprising in the least. His base is deplorable.

 

[traveler]

Who is stills hocked by this?

I'm pretty surprised there are more women that feel this way than men.

 

[Not]

Killing babies and the fight to ban it.

Also, being white eases the sting of internalizing patriarchal submission

 

[Miles X]

I'm guessing the no matter what is because he's Republican? What if he switched to independant/democratic (I know can't/won't happen).

It's amazing to see so many utterly braindead people.

 

[Boke1879]

Yall really shouldn't be too shocked.

Its similar to how the GOP continues to have their support.

He has a R next to his name and a lot of people love his rhetoric. He's right. He could probably shoot someone and his hardcore base wouldn't budge.

 

[Evening Musuko]

I'm surprised the number is that low. If these translate to votes, Trump could be in trouble if he makes it to 2020 considering how close he won in some states. But of course, there's a difference of not approving of him and not voting for him.

 

[titiklabingapat]

At this point it's time the Democrats cut thier loses and just focus on their own base. The other side will never, ever vote for you. Dem base outnumber them too.

 

[Darryl M R]

60% of 25%

So the lowest he can go is 15%, did I do that math correctly?

I'm so glad idiots are willing to identify themselves. A city dweller, elitist, billionaire* really represents these people.

 

[traveler]

Gerrymandering is a wonderful thing. :/

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Some will say this, but reality is different than hypothetical. If the economy is crashing or we're all somehow about to die due to his incompetence, things change.

You take this poll for George Bush in 2001 and you'd see something similar. But after Katrina, and Iraq, and the financial crisis people changed their tune. The bare minimum is somewhere around 20-25% and he's not that far off today.

 

[Mario]

Amazing how people would rather sink with the ship than admit they were wrong.

 

[Averon]

When you consider that about one-third of the country (30%-35%) will stick with Trump no matter what, then these numbers aren't surprising. Coincidentally, 30%-35% seems to be where his approval ratings are currently polling at.

 

[IamDodongo]

Denial is a powerful thing.

It's a lie though. A year after Trump goes down, no one will admit voting for him.

 

[VariantX]

How do women even like this guy he treats women like shit.

He didn't do anything to ME. That's as literally as far as they think, themselves. Still, you can't win re-election with 6/10 voters. He shouldn't have been able to win in the first place, but we got too many fence sitters in America as it is.

He could lose another 10% but it would take time and a lot of undeniable failure.

 

[excelsiorlef]

The women thing makes sense.

He has far less women support then men, so to reach that higher percentage he actually needs less women to love him then he'd need men for them to reach that same percentage.

Furthermore women who love him are inherently likely to be true believers because of how fucked his views on women are. Thus yeah those women who do love him probably have a higher to infinite threshold in terms of his behavior because they've already overlooked everything that would affect them directly just to buy in in the first place.

 

[Garlador]

How do women even like this guy he treats women like shit.

Tell a woman for decades how little she matters compared to how a man views her, and they'll believe it.

 

[Shoeless]

Kind of crazy that this means that even if he declared WWIII on North Korea, and instituted a draft, there would STILL be a big chunk of people cheering "YEAH!" and happily going off to get fitted for their combat fatigues and issued their rifle.

 

[Wet Bloodfart]

Absolutely fucking atrocious.

 

[StrategyFan]

the more important figure might be what percentage would consider voting for a different republican instead of trump in 2020

 

[Gnome Scat]

So 6 out of 10 Trump supporters are either white supremacists or white supremacist sympathizers "fine people"...

Nice.

 

[jett]

Trumpers are fanatical true believers. Being a Trumpfuck has become an essential part of their identity.

 

[Fox318]

Tribalism and Fox News.

It isnt about issues or even beliefs, its about culture.

 

[night814]

Makes sense, it's very hard to change people's minds and these voters are extremely delusional.

 

[Transhuman]

Never ever say "never ever".

 

[Socivol]

The sooner the uneducated idiots die the better off we will be as a country.

 

[GK86]

Good, I hope they all derail with this motherfucker.

 

[jerry113]

The sooner the uneducated idiots die the better off we will be as a country.

The majority of college-educated whites voted for Trump in 2016; the majority of college-educated white men voted for Trump also.
