Listening to the first hour of call-ins on the C-SPAN Washington Journal show, it's striking to see the wide divide separating people's views of Trump's performance after the first year of his second term. Nothing but Fs, F minuses, one "D" for Demented, and As and A+++s.

I'm sure a lot of this is simply due to the fact that the most extreme Trump supporters and Trump haters are the ones motivated to call in, but I think it does reflect most of the politically aware population.

See https://www.c-span.org/event/washington-journal/01...

( You can scroll to the start of the show. )

Objectively, Trump at least gets a passing grade. If that's a "C -" O.K. with me.

The economy is doing fine.

The U.S. is not letting itself be pushed around on the global scene.

You have no objective basis to give him an "F".

Calling him "Hitler" is not an objective basis, it's an indication of your paranoid delusional ideation.

I don't listen to call-in political shows usually. The few times that I have, I have not been impressed by the nuanced arguments put forward by the callers. Has C-SPAN been different in the past?

C-SPAN is different mainly in that the hosts are truly unbiased and fair. Callers are cut off for spouting obscenities and flagrant insults. It's worth watching IMO. Their guests are at least coherent and call-ins happen during those segments as well.

You are rightfully seeing a population that is tribal --- and unable to think for themselves.

Just look at Sheeple.

Most of them know what their favorite blog or cable network or bro says. They see it on their little phones...and parrot it. And then....they now self segregate so they only see and hear things and peoples that reinforce the same views.

Someone on TMF used to warn about it.....

Oh well.

Future consensus will be the 51% I guess. Woo Hoo.

He got a ZERO. He failed every question on every test.

JAKE LANG ESCAPES IN CAR
#Minneapolis City Hall Anti Somalia
Renee Good - Protesters nearly lynched Jake Lang this car saved his life today


Attacking cars and trying to drag people out of them.

Libs are now harassing every semi masculine looking White man they see who won’t say “f*ck ICE,” on suspicion of being ICE.

This just isn’t sustainable.


Little Maoists out confronting people who won't yell the performative 'F ICE'.

liberalism is a mental disorder.

Dope1,

Liberalism is beyond being a mental disorder.

It's a pathological perversion.

These people are very frustrated sexually and their libidos (such as they exist) are completely sublimated to these weird behaviors.

They are also dog fuckers.

"Objectively, Trump at least gets a passing grade." - Marco the Russian Clown

Does the word "objectively" mean something different in Russian?

LOL you are funny.
