From Vixen Strangely at Strangely Blogged:
The idea that 53% of Republicans in a recent poll think that Trump is a better president than Abraham Lincoln actually doesn’t bother me excessively because I drink an actual fuckton anymore have been watching Republican polls for a long time, and have observed the rise of poll-trolling and troll-polling. You know, the thing where Republicans, when questioned, will blame Obama for the Hurricane Katrina response or where pollsters will ask questions trying to cast a certain demographic (presumed knuckle-draggers) in a weird light by pointing up one weird and very click-baitable response. You can tell me Republicans by just 53% are defensive enough in support of Trump to compare him favorably to the guy on Mount Rushmore, the $5 bill and the freaking penny, and I’m going to basically shrug. (I will note, however, for posterity’s sake, that Trump invited this comparison. And outside of Republicans, he definitely does not compare favorably.)
Republicans are going to like the current Republican president. It isn’t brain science.
