        The only voter demographic that saw a decrease in the last election compared to 2016 was white men. If you’re going to cry “rigged election,” then you’re undermining democracy in exactly the same way the MAGA crowd does.

        Most Americans are against him.

        I’ll believe it when I see it. What I see is Trump and his ICE Brownshorts running all over the place with almost zero resistance.

      • Most Americans might be against him, but the majority of those that voted voted for him. People’s apathy and the DNC continually being useless helped Trump win.

        He has an almost 50% approval rating from Americans so while you’re technically correct, that’s still a ridiculous amount of Americans who like him

          That’s not the statistic I’ve seen. It was in the 30s last I saw. Among Republicans it was still fairly high, like 60s, and higher among MAGA, but the general public was much lower. Can you cite a recent source for your number? Otherwise, I’ll bolo for some updated numbers.

            These are the stats I found:

            • According to the most recent Gallup poll, Trump’s job approval rating was 43% in May.
            • The Economist shows that 41% of people are favorable of Trump and 53% are unfavorable of him, according to the latest update from June 20.
            • Rasmussen Reports poll from June 20 showed 52% approval and 47% disapproval of Trump.
            • The Morning Consult tracker poll taken mid-June has dropped to 46% approval rating and 52% who disapprove.
            • Reuters/Ipsos poll reported that, as of June 16, 42% of those surveyed gave him a favorable approval rating of his performance in office.
            • An InsiderAdvantage poll taken between June 15-16 showed Trump with 54.4% approval over a 44.1% disapproval of his job performance.

            From here

              Nice work, mate. Good on ya! (I’m watching Bluey with my kids right now) Looks like I’ve been outdated.

              Well, the rest of Americans need to wake tf up. It’s going to take most of us to right the ship. Fuck the rich, fuck the racists/sexists/homophobes/etc., and fuck any MAGAts who somehow aren’t covered by the previous.

          (not who you replied to) We can be anti-zionists without being pro-Iran. They have a horrific history of human rights abuses. Their sovereignty is being violated, but their government is not a good one.
