Every day when I look at the approval thread and a lot of other posts on here, I notice that many posters seem to be pining for Trump's approval ratings to plummet into the 20s a la Nixon or GWB at the end of their administrations. Stability in the polls seems to frustrate people, as if their lives are made worse by Trump's approval remaining in the 40s.
My question is, what exactly would be so appealing about a collapse in Trump's numbers? His approvals falling to catastrophic levels would likely result in congressional gridlock, economic downfall, and a weaker position on the world stage. Eras such as 1974 and 2008 were pretty terrible times to live through as an American citizen, and I'd think most people are old enough to at least remember the latter.
It just seems more and more to me that Trump detractors are rooting for misery and failure in America simply because they hate the party in control that much. That doesn't make you much of a citizen if you ask me.
