    Copium up!

    trump isn’t panicking for shit. He’s fucking demented. He goes from confused to arrogant to rageaholic and back again using special words he invented or whatever the last guy who just spoke said. That’s it. There’s no panic in there. That would imply cognitive function.

    I’d like to believe this is bad news for him but it just isn’t. He’s completely unaffected and there is still much more destruction of America that he will inflict.

    Please stop posting meaningless crap articles with “panics”, “losing support”, “wildly unpopular”, “regrets voting for trump”, anything about them dropping n the polls, etc. etc. It’s all fake crap to make anti-fascists feel good and falsely think they are somehow winning.

    No. They aren’t panicking, they are proceeding with their plans full speed ahead and doing whatever they want with impunity. They still have just as much support from the magats as always, and every magat would still happily vote for trump again.

    Don’t post these and downvote the ones you see.

      For real. Even If this was a genuine moment of weakness, that just means everyone needs to push all the harder. Grind this piece of shit and his entire regime so deep into the ground that future generations will take it as a warning.

    According to the internal polling, a staggering 60% of independent voters disapproved of Trump’s immigration policy

    I sense the word, “staggering,” has received a new definition, coz 60% is not staggering in the 2024 sense.

    The private polling was completed at the end of December, just days before ICE fatally shot Minnesota woman Renee Good

    Alright, that might make a dent in the 40% supporting this shit show.

    As recourse for the abysmal polling numbers, an individual […] advocated for members of the Trump administration to make appearances […] to promote the “positive” aspects of Trump’s immigration policy, the outlet.

    I could definitely see how an appearance by chief screeching howler monkey Miller or head cash bag grabber Homan would explain to us how this is all Very Normal and Good for the Nation. /s

      That’s not 60% of all voters. That’s 60% of people who aren’t Democrats. Which is already a minority of voters. Trump needs 90% of his base because he gets 0% of everyone else.

      Think about it. He got half the vote. Now he is getting a disapproval rating from more than half of that half. If that holds true they are going to lose every single race in the mid terms and for the foreseeable future.

        That’s not quite it either. It’s 60% of independent voters, so it also doesn’t include MAGA. It’s the swing voters, which happen to be the only voters who really matter.

        But, fortunately for the GOP, they’re also easily swayed by the “both sides” narratives and can be disillusioned into staying home instead of voting. It’s why voter turnout is one of the biggest predictors in whether the Dems or the GOP will win an election. Independent voters have trended more leftward in recent elections because the GOP is fucking insane.

          There is no such thing as an independent in the United States. It has been code for “conservative” for decades and its a core part of Trumps base.

            I’ll disagree here. I’m one of those mythical independent voters. I have no party affiliation, and subscribe to Jefferson’s philosophy:

            I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in any thing else where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent.

            However, most conservatives see me as a lefty, because most of my views, especially on social issues, are consistent with left-wing policies.

            Several states don’t have party registration, my swing state included. That changed after I first registered to vote so I’m not sure what my registration looks like now; I can’t change it even if I wanted to. This has the effect of making everyone in the state, at least those who registered since the change, an independent voter, even if they are party loyalists. They simply don’t have a choice to be anything but independent.

            So while it may be true that there are no undecided voters, that’s not really what they are looking at.

    I would love to hear the positive aspects of a government funded terror campaign against its own people.

    Job market is slowing. Prices of everything are up. The US is burning international bridges like kindling. Fascist pedos are running the US. POTUS is “joking” about not having elections and threatening to invoke the insurrection act.

    Reality is this:

    And they want to tell people it is this:

      They will just race bait. Somali’s are defrauding your government. Hatian’s are eating your cats and dogs again. Venezualian’s are all gang members and/or from insane asylums. Mexican’s are bringing in drugs. Greenlander’s won’t let me buy them.

    A batch of private GOP polling data obtained by Axios revealed that President Donald Trump’s mass deportation policy is wildly unpopular with independent and undecided voters

    Bullshit clickbait:

    1. The headline is clearly trying to imply that Republicans are the ones not supporting the policy
    2. No sign of Trump ‘panicking’ whatsoever

    It doesn’t matter. Even if it’s unpopular and they hate it the republikkkans will ALWAYS VOTE FOR IT. Shitler is ruining their lives, but would they vote for him again? Yes without a single doubt.

    Pathetic fucking scumbags and pedo-protectors. To a one.

    I am convinced that polling is completely broken. There’s no methodology that works anymore because scam callers have basically destroyed telephones as an information-gathering resource and online polling is very easily compromised.

    This is for discussion, but this is what I could find on Hitler and his popularity since they didn’t really take polls like we do now.

    The March 1933 federal election was the final democratic election before WWII – in which the Nazi party received 43.91% of the vote.

    Peter Fritzsche deciphers the puzzle of Nazism’s ideological grip. Its basic appeal lay in the Volksgemeinschaft — a “people’s community” that appealed to Germans to be part of a great project to redress the wrongs of the Versailles treaty, make the country strong and vital, and rid the body politic of unhealthy elements. The goal was to create a new national and racial self-consciousness among Germans. For Germany to live, others—especially Jews—had to die.
