At minimum 4% of USA citizens are complete monsters with hate in their hearts. It’s actually much higher, but for sure we say that 4% are awful people.

33% of a country are always Authoritarians. Those are the people who vote to end democratic rule and install dictatorships.

There's some info stickers the Harris campaign sells if you want to help lower that for the people around you. Or at least increase the number of unfavorable view of it

(Can also make your own stickers like that too)

Those are probably just the people who would benefit from it.

57% is also way too low. That sjould be in the 80s

[-] kescusay@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Agreed, but there are a lot of low-information voters out there who have probably never heard of it because they don't follow political news closely.

We should take that 4% and put them on a remote island. We don't need to bother shipping over food, I'm sure their God will provide it for them and they'll all get to live in a blissful paradise.

If Trump doesn't want to join the next debate it should be Kamala Harris arguing point to point against Project 2025 during the time slot. I would watch that.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

She should also spend some time tying Project 2025 to dimbulb donnie, too. He keeps claiming he "doesn't know her" when it comes to Project 2025, but that's nonsense.

[-] dumples@midwest.social 9 points 2 months ago

A great opening segment talking about how it was made by trump staffers.

Project 2025 has a 57% unfavorable rating, but the party that endorses it does not.

Curious.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Fans of the Leopards Eating Faces Party don't like it when it's their faces being threatened.

(They'll still vote for them, though.)

Well yeah, they want to eliminate the fucking national weather service. Project 2025 is a plan to stop governing and begin ruling.

[-] MediaSensationalism@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The other 39% view it unfavorably but don't have the spine to speak out against their own party when they know the poll results will be publicized.

[-] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 6 points 2 months ago

Or they view it favorably, but don't have the spine to say the quiet part out loud because people would correctly label them as fascist monsters.

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 22 points 2 months ago

who are the effing 4%? I could see maybe 1% but less than one percent of that group would gain from it.

[-] Catma@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

The 4% are the ones who think it will help them until it is their turn to be the ones shit on.

Same as the other 39% who apparently have no opinion.

No link to the poll, data, or polling methodology anywhere in the article. Does Newsweek still hire journalists?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
