This Is The Bottom Line Of The Current State Of Politics

[Independent thinker]

This is what real people are watching for political news. This is the current trend. This has got to mirror what is happening in real life, voting registrations, polls, etc. Democrats continue to lose, Republican continue to win. So far the only buzz I hear regarding the 2026 midterm elections is that they will be close, when history shows the minority party usually makes large gains. And, current polls show Trump with about a 50% approval rating and about the same for the direction of the country, way up from the Biden days. And more fallout from Democrats infighting and aimless direction, still stunned and unable to figure out why it is that they lost. They are like a bunch of fireworks firing off aimlessly in every direction.

Fox News Continued To See Audience Growth In May While MSNBC And CNN Posted Double-Digit Declines Vs. 2024

Fox News continued to show robust ratings growth for the month of May, again dominating its cable news rivals MSNBC and CNN, which have seen year-over-year declines. The past month saw the debut of MSNBC’s new nighttime lineup, with The Weeknight taking the 7 p.m. ET slot, Rachel Maddow...

CNN and MS-LSD's viewership should be considered fringe/extremist now. Neither network learned a thing.

In the past I had to go to DailyKos to do my oppo research, but now CNN is as nutty as they were 10 years ago.

And Daily Kook now is so nutty it would kill someone with a peanut allergy if they just viewed it.

The MSM has been protecting Democrats for many years.

Republicans aren't winning. The town halls show us this. Trump is losing; all of his orders are either stepped or frozen. TV ratings don't mean jack.

Bunch of angry rent-a-mob shiltibs infest a republican town hall....That's supposed to mean something....

The bottom line in American politics is about how so much of the country is literally existing in two different realities. A country can't survive for long like this.

Historically the response to problems this deep has been an authoritarian strongman, and the decay then increases quickly as he (enabled by craven politicians and various "useful idiots") takes control and clamps down.

Wonkette used to be very informative for that, before Ana Marie Cox sold it to the freak wing of the party.

Town hall demonstrations by Democrat infiltraters proves that the demented LEFT are pure SCUMBAGS.

Someone said "All institutions gradually fall into leftism, or even extreme leftism, unless their objective is fighting said leftism. "

The ACLU, the Southern Poverty Law Center, Drudge Report are a few examples.

Rush Limbaugh (paraphrasing): Any institution that is not on the right by its nature and mission will become leftist.

SPLC was always leftist..."Hate groups" is a subjective projection.

They did good work against the KKK and other WP idiots until they decided anyone to the right of Mitt Romney was a WP idiot.

They also only went after them when they committed acts of violence, not just speech.

CNN and the others do have these newfangled things called "Websites", you should check them out.

Be that as it may I think it points out that the people watching the news are leaving the blue team and going to the red team. It would be interesting to see the rating numbers of the big three networks.
