The proposed Trump ballroom project is losing steam as public opposition persists, even among key demographics, following a failed attempt by MAGA proponents to leverage a recent shooting incident.
But they do, and fortunately, most Democrats appeared to grasp those stakes, continuing to vociferously oppose the ballroom even after the shooting incident.. They plowed right through MAGA’s fog of bullying propaganda and emerged on the other side unscathed.. Result: The MAGA assault quickly dissipated and unceremoniously went poof.. It’s a non-factor now—a big nothing.. Indeed, a Washington Post poll taken before and after the shooting incident found the ballroom to be deeply unpopular.. It’s
opposed by 56 percent of Americans and supported by only 28 percent.. Independents oppose it by a whopping 61-18, working class Americans by 54-28, and moderates by 64-16.. Importantly, the Post polling done after the incident showed no clear shift toward support for the project, another sign that MAGA propaganda around it fizzled.. It’s not clear, of course, whether most ordinary voters oppose the ballroom merely because they want the president to focus on material
things or because it represents a massive abuse of power suffused with Nero-level megalomania.. It’s probably some of both.
