Two-thirds of Americans say that the country is “pretty seriously off on the wrong track,” while just under a third say the country is moving in the right direction, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel.
Overall, Americans seem unhappy and anxious, with a slim majority saying the economy has gotten worse since President Donald Trump took office and majorities saying that both major parties and the president are out of touch. A majority of Americans are also growing increasingly concerned over the government shutdown.
Then. Do. Something. About. It.
If there are really two thirds of you, it shouldn’t be too hard to stop this shit
‘Changing the mind of 170 million people shouldn’t be too hard’
Ok bro I’m on it.
I asked them and they said ‘no’. What’s plan B?
This. Poll. Just. Came. Out. We’re. Not. Fucking. Magicians.
If you respect the Constitution, then you have to let it play out. A year from now are the Midterm Elections, with Congress on the line. How they behave around that will determine what happens beyond that.
Will they openly suppress the vote as much as possible? Absolutely, but how far will that go? Do they refuse to sweat in the winning Dems, and illegally keep their majority?
What if they invent an excuse to suspend elections? That’s a bright red line. No election had ever been suspended in American History, not even during the Civil War. For many, that would signal the end of Democracy, and the official beginning of a Civil War, although it would look very weird in the beginning. The first steps would be Blue states refusing to cooperate with the illegitimate MAGA Congress.
110% this shit. It’ll be a slow but powerful buildup. People just think we’re sitting on our fat asses going: “Lol. Whoopsies! Guess we have a Nazi president! Our bad,” No! The No Kings protests alone prove we’re already unhappy. If they try something as serious as the suspension of an election in this environment? Suicide for them.
Yes, the “be in your best behavior and don’t cause too much trouble” protest has definitely marked a middle point in their fascist actions.
I’m not going to begrudge the people who think resistance needs to be more kinetic, but that’s not who I am. I’m fucking 52 years old and have never been a fighter. I barely know how to punch properly, and while I can shoot a gun, I’ve never shot a gun while being shot at, and likely would be as much a danger to my side as to the other side. I suspect a whole lot of that 2/3rds we’re dismissing in the polling is like me. The protests bring us out. Civil war will have us hiding or fleeing.
And like others have said. Trump was so annoyed by our presence he generated AI slop. We live rent free in his head.
