      45% don’t approve and 38% approve someone said further up. Still not great but not the majority the headline makes it seem

    The other half are as dumb as a bag of hammer.

    That’s right. Just one hammer. With measles.

      That every American doesn’t approve of Trump’s handling of protests is shameful.

      Quite the contrary. But looking at your post history, I wonder whether you accidentally said the opposite of what you meant.

        I meant that it’s shameful that not all Americans disapprove of the Trump fascist regime. I seem to have been grammar challenged.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

      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.”

    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.
