Nearly half of Americans don't understand that when an illegal and immoral tactic is used against someone you don't like, it can then be used against you too. Dumb fucking Americans.

These are some depressing numbers.

47% of U.S. adults disapprove of of deploying the Marines to LA, with 34% approval.

45% disapprove the National Guard deployment, while 38% said they approve.

... An equal share — 45% — also disapprove of the protests against ICE, per Monday YouGov polling.

36% said they approve of the protests, and 19% said they are not sure.

58% of Democrats said they approved of the anti-ICE protests, compared to 15% of Republicans.

So over half of Americans aren't concerned with accelerating authoritarianism? Great.

That's a lot of people who saw a reporter get shot and went "I'm cool with that".

I'm joking. Most of them probably aren't paying enough attention to have seen that.

That percentage is insanely low. What is wrong with the fuckers that approve?

Less than the majority is depressing, but don't forget how the media is covering this. MAGA eats this shit up, obviously, but even your standard semi-informed people are getting "riots on the street of LA" bullshit on their local news outlets.

I'm actually a little surprised it's "almost half" in disapproval, given how badly this is covered. I wonder if TikTok and Bluesky are helping, the latter being obvious but the former being surprisingly good at showing what's actually happening on the ground-- at least a lot better than Meta and X options.

NEARLY HALF?

45% disapprove the National Guard deployment, while 38% said they approve.

So 38% are enemies of Constitution and country.

"nearly half" so over 50% of US adults are mentally challenged it seems

That means a majority approve or don't care. We're fucked

Wow, we got ALMOST half of America to understand that it's bad when presidents send the military to threaten Americans.

That almost makes me think our inevitable decline as a nation will happen slower than I originally thought.

This country continues to depress me. It really should be way higher.

That's because there are hundreds of millions of racist fascists here.

There's something that needs to be done, and that something is drastic, and a lot of people don't want to hear, or see it. But we can't keep going forward as a country where more than half of people are violent sociopaths, or enablers of the latter.

US is lost

Between 33% and 38% of Americans shouldn't be allowed to make decisions because they are incompetent or vile. That's how many have never wavered in their support of Trump.

But I am shocked here at the extra 12+% who aren't outraged by what's happening now. Is that the 11% of Libertarians? (https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2014/08/25/in-search-of-libertarians/)

If a majority of Americans approve then the problem will not go away if Trump goes away.

lol we are cooked

So more than half are okay with it or don't care about it.

Nothing has changed since the election.

If "nearly half" disprove that means more than half approve.
That's fucking disgusting.

So a majority approves. Fuck this country.

"nearly"..?

The other half are as dumb as a bag of hammer.

That’s right. Just one hammer. With measles.

Nearly half eh? Yeah less then half checkes out.

The other half voted for him.

To be honest part of me wants his raids to spread to other cities, especially in middle America, so it hits home to more voters. Especially his wavering voters. Some people can only recognize something if they experience it first hand.

A lot of people are only seeing very sensationalized edited media about this and thinks the protests are way worse and more violent than they actually are.

Only half?

Pathetic.

It’s ok because it will never happen to me! Huh? These politicians have zero policy agenda and thrive on having an other to rally against? They’ll go after me for the pettiest of things like living while poor to fill their private prison quotas once all the gross gays and browns are reduced to cinder? Nah. This is America. It can’t happen here!

half of America is dumber than a sack of potatoes

More than half of US citizens are fascists? That does not surprise me.

It way more than half. Polling almost always favors fanatics.

I disapprove of his existence.

That every American doesn't approve of Trump's handling of protests is shameful.
