A majority of Americans say President Trump is a “dangerous dictator” who poses a threat to democracy and believe he’s overstepped his authority by actions such as the mass firing of federal employees, a new survey says.

The wide-ranging poll released Tuesday, on Trump’s 100th day in office, is the latest sign of him losing support for his immigration and economic policies — the two issues that largely fueled his election.

      They were protest voting because Harris wasn’t good enough, so now they hold their heads high that they didn’t vote for the person who wasn’t strong enough against genocide while the genocide accelerationist tries to speedrun the bad end.

    They sure seem reluctant to do something about him though.

    “This guy is a real threat, he’s dangerous! He’s a dictator, he shouldn’t be in power!”

    “Alright, you’re the people, go do something about it.”

    “Ehhh…”

    Start running polls asking if they think the military should forcefully remove him. Get everyone on board and used to the idea

    FTA:

    For example, most Americans (61%) disagree that the federal government should place immigrants who are in the country illegally in internment camps guarded by the U.S. military until they can be deported.

    Only 61%? Have I lost my fucking mind? This feels unbelievable to read.

      I think the biggest thing I learned this last election is just how much of the country are HUGE pieces of shit. I thought there were maybe 15-20% that were on board with this Nazi shit. It’s well over double that.

      We fucked up during Reconstruction, and we fucked up again after WWII. Every single Confederate/Nazi should’ve been disposed of and never allowed to have any influence whatsoever. Instead the cancer has metastasized to every single organ in the body.

        I think your original estimate is correct, but the problem is that they’ve captured enough media outlets that sow doubt about right-wingers’ true natures to make another 20-30% just uncertain enough to vote for the nazis.

        Agree with your remediation, though. Confederates, Nazis, and J6ers are enemies of the state and should be forever barred from holding public office.

      Consider that surveys also indicate that 30-40% of the US are essentially “Trump No Matter What” people. Maybe some variation depending on the issue.

      So 60% isn’t too far off the mark for people not supporting everything trump does.

      E: 48.3% of registered voters voted for Harris. Maybe if that extra ~12% of Americans that are unhappy about Trump had gotten off their asses and voted we might be complaining about a crappy Neo-Liberal instead of a straight up fascist takeover.

        Day 100 of not letting it be forgotten that the republicans led a massive, distributed campaign of targeted vote rejection. They spent years getting true believers and laws and rules to support them put into place throughout states and counties, and it bore fruit. There was a disproportionately high number of ballot challenges this last election, and black folks got their ballots tossed a staggering 900% more often than white folks. There’s likely a very large number of people who thought they voted in this last election and have no idea that their ballot got tossed. This is the real shit that that dumbfuck starlink conspiracy buried. I’m still in awe that the Kamalampaign just basically shrugged and went “okie dokie! Pack your bags, Katy Perry, party’s over!” instead of doing the normal investigations, challenges, etc. Mind you, some of that IS normal, and double checking via the courts is a good thing to do; not like the Trump campaign and its like 300 bullshit ass claims, but more like ten or twelve claims with some actual weight.

    Almost as if Harris and the DNC should have tried harder, and the dumbasses who stayed home should have held their noses and voted.
