MODERATORS
 

a New York Times/Siena College poll of registered voters on Friday found that Trump’s approval rating is 42%, and just 29% among independent voters. More than half of voters said Trump is “exceeding the powers available to him”, and 59% of respondents said the president’s second term has been “scary”

The fact they didn’t lose faith after January 6th makes them beyond stupid

I gave up hope for a lot of people when they saw his lifetime of documented lies, theft, and fraud and thought they could trust him.

I'm afraid most americans have a learning disability.

It's not just Americans. The world has varying degrees of stupid. We've just allowed the morons to have a voice, which was a mistake.

And be in power.

Despite any misgivings republicans might say for a poll, had they asked if they would rather have a democrat in office, the pool would be 90% plus in favor of Trump. It’s simply the way they ask the questions.

These people can try to pretend they are hemming and hawing over these things, but as long as it is their guy doing it, they are ok with it.

Trump is killing people and kids and the best they can do is say they don’t think he is focusing on the right things and these surveys are somehow supposed to show how badly he is doing. These people don’t give a shit and are complicit. They think they are absolved by not approving.

It’s all bullshit.

The fact they had any is the first place is beyond me.

this is the correct version of normal… remember how yall felt in 2016: that is normal, and everything beyond then has been a shifted, perverse version of normal that they’ve forced onto you

The fact they elected him a second time...

[–] mcv@lemm.ee 2 points 12 hours ago

Instead of putting him in prison.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Nah. The first time was beyond stupid. The second time is an Idiocracy level dystopia.
