A closer look at the numbers: Bad for 47, good for us. [View all]

I've been discouraged that 47's approval numbers seem to have bottomed out at about 42%. A closer look behind that top line gives me a hope. See the link and charts below.

Even if too many in the cult have invested too many years and too much of their identity in belonging to MAGA to find an exit, the growing disapproval of EVERYTHING he is doing is a sign that more are allowing their doubts to have space in their brains. And that is where the unravelling begins.

And the trends are not just reactions to 47.

The disapproval is being driven by people who are pestering our leaders to get louder and more creative in their opposition.

It is being driven by leaders who have headed the call.

It is being driving by people organizing in cyberspace and showing up and connecting in their communities.

It is being driven by patriotic objectors making more noise in social media spaces.

It is being driven by a growing infrastructure of patriotic outlets exposing and denouncing the regime's systematic sabotage of everything that has driven progress and prosperity.
