We have a MASSIVE propaganda and critical thinking crisis here in the states.
It is jaw dropping how otherwise normal people can have such disgusting views.
And this is why the problems in America will not be easily solved. There won't be a solution in the (if they happen) midterms. There won't be a solution in the (if it happens) next election.
The problem of 40+% of the population supporting Trump remains. And it will remain, whether it's the causes of it or the reality of it. And it will not simply fade away.
This large of a population supporting these policies is a crisis of catastrophic proportions.
So if you line up 20 random Americans, just 9 will say Trump is doing a great job.
Fucking pathetic ain't it?
or it's just lies / extremely confusing terminology being used
i think you meant to say that if you line up 20 random americans, 9 of them should be commited to a psych ward.
a modern one or a 1940s one?
The sadist in me wants to say 1940's.
Because those 9 probably watch Faux News (Fox News) and the likes... which is just propaganda for this regimes agenda. Now, unfortunately the other news media has been compromised and are starting to bend the knee as well. We'll start seeing an incline in the pedophiles approval especially if a "terrorist attack perpetrated by Iran were to happen on US soil" which the sane bunch of us will know would be absolute bullshit and fabricated by the regime.
Hey let's not go lining up random Americans. If you're insistent on lining Americans up, stick to those nine people you mentioned.
That's not how they do it themselves though.
Or as the cons like to say: "a mandate".
those conservative cis het white men would love a secret man date
Just? That's way to many!
"trump barely is behind in the polls for a cornucopia of huge issues that he's about as bad as can possibly be on"
I wish it made sense.
Honestly, what was the issue with the border before? I keep seeing Republicans and plenty of reactionary centrists say that Donvict "closed the border because Joe had an open border policy".
What are they even talking about?
They're full of shit. They're calling asylum seekers illegals because Trump told MAGA that means they were let out of an insane asylum in another country and Biden brought them here to vote. It's a ridiculous premise and he just makes up the numbers as he goes.
It's a useful tool in that the vast majority of Americans don't have any personal insight into what's going on so if a right-wing rag tells them the borders are wide open and terrorist rapist serial killers are pouring in, many are inclined to buy that.
What we're seeing now is MAGA trying to reconcile that invisible threat with actual problems like the cost of food, gas, housing, healthcare, etc.
This is the exact reason there won’t be a blue wave in November—even if there is a fair election.
Get out while you still can.
