Wow, we got ALMOST half of America to understand that it’s bad when presidents send the military to threaten Americans.
That almost makes me think our inevitable decline as a nation will happen slower than I originally thought.
So more than half are okay with it or don’t care about it.
Nothing has changed since the election.
Nothing has changed since slavery
To be honest part of me wants his raids to spread to other cities, especially in middle America, so it hits home to more voters. Especially his wavering voters. Some people can only recognize something if they experience it first hand.
It will spread, but not in the middle of the country. He’s allegedly targeted blue cities like New York, Chicago, Seattle next.
Our new chief of police here in Seattle just said that he expects to be arrested and imprisoned for protecting the city against these raids. Sounds like he might be a keeper. We sure could use it.
A lot of people are only seeing very sensationalized edited media about this and thinks the protests are way worse and more violent than they actually are.
45% disapprove the National Guard deployment, while 38% said they approve.
So 38% are enemies of Constitution and country.
Anytime there’s a poll, it’s always the same 30-39% of shitheads liking the bad thing.
The Authoritarians- a book by Prof. Altmeyer- says there’s about 1/3 of the population who are authoritarians and that percentage is pretty constant no matter what one does. SO it sounds about right
I hadn’t heard of that book before. Looking it up, it’s a book about the psychology of authoritarianism, backed by research and receipts. I’ll add it to the top of my reading list. It also seems to be available for free on the author’s website. Thank you for this.
Well no. Im an enemy of most of the country and certainly its government, not super a fan of the constitution, and im extremely unhappy about this.
There’s something that needs to be done, and that something is drastic, and a lot of people don’t want to hear, or see it. But we can’t keep going forward as a country where more than half of people are violent sociopaths, or enablers of the latter.
“nearly”…?
Nearly half of Americans don’t understand that when an illegal and immoral tactic is used against someone you don’t like, it can then be used against you too. Dumb fucking Americans.
We need to start finding ways to take away the rights of Evangelical Christians. Let them see how it feels for once.
Have you considered wishing them Happy Holidays?
I disapprove of his existence.
It’s ok because it will never happen to me! Huh? These politicians have zero policy agenda and thrive on having an other to rally against? They’ll go after me for the pettiest of things like living while poor to fill their private prison quotas once all the gross gays and browns are reduced to cinder? Nah. This is America. It can’t happen here!
half of America is dumber than a sack of potatoes
This country continues to depress me. It really should be way higher.
It’s going to be interesting to see the reaction on the ones who approve when Trumpflation really gets going because farms can’t hire enough workers to pick their fields and work their cattle and poultry mills.
Good time to plant a victory garden. You’re gonna need it.
Funny you mention it. I am growing a garden this year for the first time ever.
Less than half of US citizens are fascists? That does not surprise me.
Less than the majority is depressing, but don’t forget how the media is covering this. MAGA eats this shit up, obviously, but even your standard semi-informed people are getting “riots on the street of LA” bullshit on their local news outlets.
I’m actually a little surprised it’s “almost half” in disapproval, given how badly this is covered. I wonder if TikTok and Bluesky are helping, the latter being obvious but the former being surprisingly good at showing what’s actually happening on the ground-- at least a lot better than Meta and X options.
Yeah, also even though it’s “almost half” there’s more people saying disapprove than approve, so there’s a large number in the “unsure” category right now, and the more we find out about who’s being deported and how and what the cops will do to suppress these protests the more that disapprove number will go up
america has lost the war on stupidity.
Theyve been waging a war on education for decades
“nearly half” so over 50% of US adults are mentally challenged it seems
Well, remember George Carlin when he said something along the lines of “Think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half the population is dumber than that.”
Probably more, some that are mentally challenged awknowledge Trump is terrible, they are just mentally challenged in a nother way.
Did 2024 not teach you that already? It’s all a lost cause.
