No, I assure you, I am a loser... But I never supported Trump in anything, and certainly not as a politician.
I would support however his effort to furtilize a random field in Montana with his corpse. But nothing else really.

Well, it's kinda impossible to know for sure, as anyone not targeted by the Hitler regime as enemies was still discouraged from publicly, or even privately, disagreeing with the party.
But there was likely some poll or support data available to scholars at different points that would give an idea of actual support at those points.
I don't have those details, and am not who you were asking, but I did hear support dwindled as the US entered the war. And, logically, it was probably higher when he was elected then when the war started getting real nasty.
Most people start not liking their leadership when their leaders actions cause them personal distress.
I think I read this somewhere before.
However, it might just be that I'm remembering my own personal experience with reality.
Hard to tell for sure.

Because ultimately people want our society to progress, get better, so that the quality of their lives can improve.
Holding back our progress isn't healthy.
Reverting to less functional practices is dumb.
These are basically our political choices any time we vote on something that's not purely about the methods we employ to achieve necessary tasks.
Evolve, remain stagnate, or devolve/regress.
Well, it's technically true. Pedophilia, attraction to children (prepubescent youths), is generally best addressed with acknowledgement, treatment, and management.
Sexual assault, and rape, and predator practices are the crimes identified pedophiles are typically found participating in if their attraction to kids isn't addressed appropriately beforehand.
Ya'll don't really think being attracted to kids is a crime itself do you? Or that there aren't thousands, or tens of thousands, of people out there that are attracted to kids and just don't act on it, or haven't been identified?
Pedophilia, though specific in nature, is a similar subject to mental health in general, in how it's treated by society. As it becomes more acceptable to admit to having mental health conditions, the instances of those conditions leading to dire circumstances dimishes.
Be more proactive, and less reactive.
Note: though it should be clear enough, I do want to specifically state that this message in no way promotes or supports criminal actions taken towards children or knowingly disregarding such actions if the assailants are rich, or any other such nonsense.
Like being tall, or black, or gay, being a pedophile is a state of being, not an action, and people should not be attacked for their state of being, full stop. Crimes they commit are another matter entirely.
No 'reapeat offense' needed, once is enough. They were warned against such behavior when they were authorized to perform the duties of their office.
They should know better, and face consequences per instance, and summary dismissal without benefits after several offenses.
ACAB, and should face legal consequences for it until it's no longer true.

I heard police departments being shuttered and reformed as higher quality community services is far from unheard of.
Seems we need to put clear and functional systems in place to streamline to process of identifying and terminating corrupt agents within our society.
I mean, it's not like shuttering libraries or schools or firehouses due to corruption is even a thing. It their operators or employees are acting against social norms they are generally just terminated and replaced, no fuss.
Why is a cop allowed to commit crimes against their community but a librarian isn't?
Community bikes are not a new thing. They had them in my hometown through most of my youth and teen years, and may still. I don't live there anymore. 🙁
They had a strong bike community, and a bike store and repair shop off a main ped/cycle path through town, just outside downtown. It had a lounge and was the primary source of the community bikes and their maintenance.
Paint the bikes all a similar bright color, not white, and get stickers made with info about use and contact info for pickup and repair.
Like, "I'm a community bike, use me as you like, leave me somewhere responsibly when you're done with me, so somebody else can use me too. Contact for pickup or repairs 555 RIDE 4ME"
Yeah, don't say you don't know if you do, that's lying, which is a crime in this situation. You can answer crime related questions with questions (avoidance). But don't do that for everything. If they push, start asking if you're free to go. If they say no, invoke the 5th.
Don't do their jobs for them.
Don't answer any questions that could incriminate you. Or talk to them in general. But be polite when you do speak.
Only tell them your name or provide other required identity information. Don't say where you are going or coming from. Don't explain anything. Don't tell stories. Don't lie.
I can definitely cut steal with my angle grinder.
What now?
