It’s just bonkers to me that 47% of those surveyed think that things are going well.
well, 54% of our adults are literate below a 6th-grade level
Does it matter? There was never going to be another real election after 2024. Trump uses the polls for diapers at this point.
Not that it matter to trump one bit…
However, as a Canadian, this matters to me a lot:
trump’s approval rating currently stands at 47 percent
This maybe be slightly under half (barely past the error margin of the poll)… but it tells me Americans did get the government they wanted
It doesn’t, read the disclaimers.
Pg4 to be specific. It was as digital survey with almost half of respondents making 100k or more those people are more likely to vote and support red generally. If you survey with a preference for under 100k for the same period I’m willing to bet that number changes dramatically since they’re impacted more.
Not me. I’m going to be bitching and moaning about it for the next 4 years. As well as enjoying a healthy dose of schadenfreude.
Soon to be declared the nations most unreliable poll. Not that it matters anyways. Some of our fellow citizens are literally advocating for a tech monarchy.
Wow…
47% of us US’ians really suck major dick.
☹️ ☹️
47% are extremely susceptible to disinformation echo chambers.
The rich have eroded academic institutions and flooded the airwaves, muddying the waters of reality that only those with time and strong critical-thinking skills can parse.
Put another way: if I was a psychopathic piece of shit I’d know that a dumb electorate is easier to grift and control. So I’d make sure they stay confused, ignorant, and apathetic.
Have you heard of the Russian disinformation genius Surkov? His tactic is to confuse people so they don’t know true from flase, wrong from right etc and get apathetic and defeatist.
That’s related to Survok Theater, right? Between Dugin and him, the Russian propaganda tactics being used read like an open book. We see the game being played but what are some possible solutions? Must we hope people learn their lesson in the collapse to come?
Bummer, I can’t watch that from here in the US. I’ve been slacking on getting a VPN…
Been wanting to watch the later seasons of The Rise of Nazis, too.
Keep an eye on the different ones. I got a sub to Proton Plus for like $3/mon at Thanksgiving time. Plenty of others out there have great deals every once in a while. I hadn’t used a personal VPN for a while, but at this point I see no difference between my non-VPN speeds and speeds when connected.
Obviously you have to extend some trust to any VPN, but them being Swiss (nationally no obligation to provide logs to anyone, anywhere) and having a strict no-logs policy was attractive to me. Sure, they might be full of shit on those claims, but anyone else might be too.
I gotchu fam
Hell yeah, thanks dude. Will be watching this over the next couple days.
I can’t bring myself to listen to or read right wing media for even a second. Anyone that claims Trump is doing a good job will make me fly into a Hulk-like rage.
I wonder what percent of them only hear the news that things are going great
Probably not many. My uncle listens to right wing podcasts all day. He used to constantly bring up their half informed talking points, but now… Almost nothing, but you can tell every time he does, it’s filled with desperation. Like he NEEDS me to understand he made the right decision. It’s all black tar copium
So you think they’re in the denial phase
Sounds maybe even open to some kind of olive branch. I don’t expect an apology or admission of wrongdoing from anyone. If they can admit this isn’t what they wanted I’ll take it.
Wishful thinking, were talking about people who WANT immigrants to suffer, they don’t care how. The only thing that matters now is that “they” are suffering and that’s unacceptable to them. Tho I can appreciate your desire for a common ground to fight against what’s happening, they hate us, literally just because we care.
Oh, we are painfully aware of it at this point.
75+ million fascists voted for a fascist. What do you expect?
no felon rigged it, I seen it real time as the machines glitched in my area, I knew WTF happened but I held out hope that someone with power would end this bullshit so if I gotta put in my big boy pants and join in imma fuck up any maga cunt I see
Good luck proving that. Make sure you don’t fall into the same mentality as J6-ers did.
Nobody can prove it did not happen either.
Anyone can say anything about any of the systems, and it would take a panel of experts to explain why it may or may not be a valid criticism.
That is the problem with computer voting in the USA ; it’s inscrutable , the exact opposite of how a democracy should function.
Because no one can prove a negative. Therefore the accusation or claim is null.
Also, it’s not computer voting. It’s a touch screen that then prints out your votes. That’s what you put in the ballot box.
Have you not voted recently?
I’ve probably been voting longer than you been alive. I’m so glad you could resolve my confusion with such bland, marvelous words, which shows a dedicated understanding of this very complex topic.
I’m sure you looked at the 176,933 precincts in the USA that has over 100 voting systems, with numerous often contradictory practices, and mediums ranging from paper ballots to many other types including the very fancy touch screens. In fact I know you did. I will rest easy. Again, thank you for helping me
I see you’ve already fallen down the J6-style hole. Good luck on your endeavors.
Don’t
attackhave a peaceful tour through the capital.
Who the fuck cares about his polling when he’s systematically dismantling American democracy and consolidating power with Congress and the Supreme Court supporting his every move toward a dictatorship whole the "opposition"party is again in God damn shambles?
Completely focusing on the wrong fucking thing here.
Approval rating does very little to Dictators, I guess it does give them a list of people they want to hurt more though.
ILLEGAL POLLING!!!
