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.
So a majority approves. Fuck this country.
Generally not how polling works, only 34% approved and the remainder is just no response.
75% of Republican respondents approved of the National Guard deployment, only 68% for the Marines deployment.
“nearly”…?
NEARLY HALF?
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.
“nearly half” so over 50% of US adults are mentally challenged it seems
Did 2024 not teach you that already? It’s all a lost cause.
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.
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.
45% disapprove the National Guard deployment, while 38% said they approve.
So 38% are enemies of Constitution and country.
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.
Anytime there’s a poll, it’s always the same 30-39% of shitheads liking the bad thing.
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.
That means a majority approve or don’t care. We’re fucked
45% don’t approve and 38% approve someone said further up. Still not great but not the majority the headline makes it seem
or don’t care
17% of the population not giving a shit is a problem
More than half of US citizens are fascists? That does not surprise me.
That’s a lot of people who saw a reporter get shot and went “I’m cool with that”.
I’m joking. Most of them probably aren’t paying enough attention to have seen that.
Most Americans probably haven’t even seen the video. The average person is unbelievably clueless. My friends Instagram reels is animated screaming cucumbers and more brain rot. 0 news, 0 information, just straight retardation. Each of our media spheres is individually tailored and that is a massive problem when it comes to getting people on the same page.
I feel like most of my friends follow the news, but I bet you’re right that most people are just in a haze of screaming cucumbers.
I’ve seen people claim she deserved it for blocking traffic.
Did FOX even show that video?
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?
“Happy winter celebrations, fellas!” “I hope you’ll enjoy your Germanic pagan traditions”
So over half of Americans aren’t concerned with accelerating authoritarianism? Great.
38% percent not over half
Yes over half. If nearly half of respondents disapprove, than the other over half either support it or don’t care enough to oppose it, which is to say they aren’t concerned about it.
They will be, when it affects them personally.
In other words, typical Republican thinking.
Quote my boss, a Mexican living in southern California.
“Fuck the Mexicans and fuck la kill them all they deserve it” He has also expressed explicitly that trump has done nothing wrong, and that he will only care if he is personally effected.
The cast majority of everyone i work with has opinions in line with that. The majority of people I work with are Mexicans.
It’s been baffling watch them all cheer over the protesters getting shot or arrested. Just because it’s LA and there’s a weird hate boner for LA and San Francisco around here.
It’s already affecting them personally, they’ve just been brainwashed into blaming the wrong people
There’s a meme out there that goes something along the line of “Nothing Ever Happens”. This line of thinking is poison, as it doesn’t take into account incrementalism. The fall into fascism isn’t a single large step, it’s many small steps until one day you’ve realized that you’re no longer in the same place that you were, and that now, you’re lost.
A lot of Americans barely understand how the government actually functions.
Yeah, to add to that, the majority of Americans unfortunately have poor literacy levels with reading below sixth-grade level.

And you can probably guess which party governs most states with the lowest funding levels for improving literacy.
They voted for it in the first place
US is lost
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.
