I'm just finding that more and more people could care less about anything related to corrupt government, loses of freedom, election tampering, you name it. But they are solid on their dislike of Trump and basically want to see him go down by legal or illegal means. While we read and watch for the facts of all that is going on, they are tuned into The Simpsons, Dances with the Stars, Grey's Anatomy, etc, etc.

I estimate that less than 2% can intelligently discuss the events of the nation. Yet, they can vote.

That's true, but about 95% choose only Dances with Stars.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that

50% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance.

2% agree with nwtk2007.

You must distinguish between apathy on the Right and on the Left. Do not forget we are a divided America. The party out of the White House in general does well in the first midterm. The party in power is unmotivated because they have most of what they want. That rule of thumb will be tested like never before. The Impeachment talk has motivated the Trump base. Hopefully they will show up this midterm. I think the questions are really on the left. The Jackass party has sold their base on the idea that definitely Robert Mueller would take out Trump, Like Yesterday. They have focused their base on that and not on voter turn out.

Also the minority vote is extremely important to to the Democrats. Without Obama on the ballot, why should they turn out ? The Democrats running in the House and Senate have not given their voters any great reason to fear Republicans. The economy is good, Black unemployment has never been lower.

Apathy is the enemy of the party out of power. People show up to knock the bums out of power. If they are not mad they don't show up.

I was about to ask, "how so." But I realize you've made a leap of logic, but that doesn't mean you are making sense.

Their numbers will not be enough to make a difference and there isn't as many of them as some might think.

I didn't doubt your numbers. I just don't see a link between the numbers and you saying 2% agree with me.

I don't have a side, but I thought that was you. Sorry if I was incorrect.
