      „Approval“ is irrelevant.

      If given the chance, they would all still proudly vote for him again over Harris.

      Well, collapse in that it went down to 46% approval.

      >The 2024 election saw Trump win 63 percent of rural voters, up from 60 percent in 2020, according to AP VoteCast.

      >But a new PBS/NPR/Marist poll, conducted between April 21 and 23 among 1,439 adults, shows that Trump’s support among rural voters is declining.

      >According to the poll, just 46 percent of rural voters now approve of Trump’s job performance, while 45 percent disapprove. In February, 59 percent approved and 37 percent disapproved.

      He could have a 0% approval rating and it wouldn’t change anything in the next ~4 years if there are no changes in congress.

      He’s doing exactly what he said he would. What were they expecting?

      I don’t care about his approval. They voted for this. You don’t get to claim victim when this is what you set up. Congrats, you played yourself.

      The toddlers wanted to touch the stove and now they get to leave their hand on it for as long as they want. Good. Let them learn that 1) elections have consequences and 2) if you don’t deep dive policies being peddled; then you deserve every single bit of fallout that you received when the policies begin to negatively impact you. Not a single rural voter should have voted for Trump. If they could read a basic line graph they would’ve seen that the economy was already recovering from Trump’s 1st term but they could’ve easily hand waved the poor performance to Covid. Well given how fragile our recovery was during Biden’s 4 years; Trump taking a sledgehammer in his 2nd term will finally showcase the truth: he was unfit to handle a global economy. He tricked his voters under the guise of „us versus them“ and the voters lapped it up like thirsty sycophants. Now they, the voters, and the administration will have to *own* this economy. As it continues to get worse, Trump will try and appease them with more authoritarian policies but what he’ll quickly see this voters turn on him because those policies won’t be making their food more affordable.

      they’ll all switch back as soon as pronouns or plastic straws are on the ballot

      They prefer to struggle under the GOP then thrive with any purple hair liberal.

      Some people are bad people, anyone who tries to sell you something appealing to your racism is a bad person and is gonna screw you in the end. It because you have to be very stupid or very evil to believe any of that crap and if you don’t believe it, you are doubly evil for exploiting it. But racists can’t believe that type of self indictment. Which make them extraordinarily gullible. Their narcissism allows for the worst outcomes. In the end America is being defeated entirely because of its own racism

      They started feeling the effects first.

      They really didn’t believe no one was lying to them when people tried to tell them these policies were going to hurt them. There’s not enough I told you so’s in the world for how angry non rural voters are at them because rural communities largely went Trump. And the electoral college is deliberately set up to make their votes matter more than millions of urban voters who did not want this, as well

    18. 673NoshMyBollocksAve on

      Yeah, I’m gonna say it. I don’t believe it. His voters are so unbelievably stupid. He could take a crap on their heads and they would still support him.

      Once rich white people become affected by this clown the real revolution will take place.

    21. PoemIcy2625 on

      My whole family in my mom’s side is as small town Midwest farm town maga as they come. They will never not support Donald trump in some level. 

      They will though, DEFINITELY listen to the farmers who voted for trump who get screwed basically daily by trump directly, those contracts are the only real money in those areas 

    23. couchandwine on

      Their votes for the obvious sociopath victimized ALL of us. So fuck them.

    25. CavediverNY on

      But doesn’t everybody understand that all these problems are the fault of former President Harris? /s

    29. Hadrian23 on

      His ratings have been „Collapsing“ since day 1.
      Wake me up when it starts to fucking matter….

    30. That_Is_Satisfactory on

      This means nothing. They will still vote for him when it matters once the propaganda starts flowing again.

    32. HeHateMe337 on

      A person in rural American will now have to drive hours to get medical care. WTF!!!

      “We need the electoral college because city folk don’t understand the needs of farmers”

      Farmers elect New York Bankrupter who then attacks their workers and trade agreements. Kind of seems like farmers don’t understand their own needs and let their emotions towards “others” fuck themselves over.

    34. Competitive-Ad-9404 on

      Doesn’t matter.  When Trump runs for a 3rd time,  even if he’s a drooling mass of goo and we’re in our 3rd year of depression,  they will vote for him again because they believe Democrats eat babies.  

    35. Horror_Ad_3097 on

      People are finally realizing he is nothing more than a trashy grifter? No way!

      Most rural Americans have had no idea how much they needed the Federal interventions that made lives bearable.

      Almost every small town in flyover country has had population losses over the last few decades, some extremely dramatic. This results in excessive vacancies in properties for sale, with unsellable homes going into abandonment and overgrown, then sometimes mysterious fires.

      With that population loss comes closing of shops in the town center (of course Walmart has had something to do with that too), but small town centers generally look like hell in many places. Go for a drive and see for yourself.

      I am not talking about the decaying big cities, although the situation is very much the same, I am talking about tiny little towns in Arkansas, Alabama, Nebraska … all over.

      Schools close and kids are bussed to far away consolidated schools. The old abandoned schools look just as bad as the abandoned factories.

      With the dropping population also comes a drop in available medical services, and local hospitals are on the very edge (if not already closed).

      People see all this and think „the economy sucks“ and they are angry, but it’s not that at all. Automation dropped jobs out of the factories, mines and farms and that is mostly what caused people to leave town. Still, the people are angry, and somehow will want to believe it’s all „the libs“ or „the Dems“ fault. It’s none of that, it’s that their town is in the middle of nowhere and private enterprise doesn’t give a damn about them.

      NO amount of a galloping economy is going to bring those towns back, in a free market economy the investors will put their development wherever the hell they want. Very unlikely to be that crappy little town in flyover country.

      Change is inevitable. Government policies can make the situation a bit better for most people, or *a bit worse.* The pendulum has swung and these rural Americans are about to experience the latter. They can and should blame themselves for that.
