Noem is on TV to lie to create calm while they do radical things. The proper response is to act like what’s happening is radical. Dems should be on TV *shouting*.

Note the way it goes on the other side: When things are calm and going well, under Obama and Biden, Republicans act like things are radical. They shout about Fast and Furious and MS-13 and the border and Benghazi. They know that vibes matter. Enormously.

Mom’s job is to nurture an environment of calm and safety for her children even while dad regularly wrecks the house in his drunken fits of rage

Instant follow. For at least 15 years I've called the GOP 'Violent Alcoholic Redneck Daddy' and the Dems 'Beleaguered Mother Trying To Keep The Family Together.' It's exactly that dynamic, and it has to be stopped.

Sorry, I should have been more precise. Yes, Trump’s approval is falling; below 40%. That’s good. But it’s not enough. We need to get him down in the 20’s before Congressional Republicans will start to stand up and buck him. What Noem is doing here is shoring up his vibes and approval.

Winning opinion polls isn't what you need. What you need is to get him out of power.

While I 300% agree with the thread here, 47's deep-seeming negative polling is NOT indicative of blanket disapproval and a desire to remove. In my red area, these people voted for *ethnic cleansing* and *concentration camps.* Everything they don't like about this Admin is simply inconvenience.
