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.
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.
