Its called a rally around the flag effect. Its a known artifact of crisis polling. Patience.

(17,536 posts)That his ratings are NOT tanking. Being on the screen every day, offering solutions, and being surrounded by serious professionals is good politics. It doesn't matter how stupid his "solutions" might be, he is giving the impression that he is in charge and everything will be OK and the people who are preaching gloom and doom are wrong. It is the message people want to hear.
It is value of advertising folks. A man hears what he wants to hear and he disregards the rest.

(1,648 posts)Just wait until it really effects his supporters in a very negative way, especially when they start questioning why donnie dumb fuck doesn't give a shit about them either. Just wait till it destroys more than their money, because it will all come back to haunt donnie. It will also be a wake up call to the Vulture Capitalism dogma they have been riding for priorities in this country.
No, it's not right that those that don't support him are stuck with enduring it as well, but we were all doomed to that possibility when he became Dear Leader.
