Not to dogpile you too much here - I understand this is difficult - but part of the problem is framing this as a Trump issue. It really isn’t. Even with all this insanity, he still enjoys a 40% approval rating! This doesn’t end only by cutting off MAGA’s head, ahtough that would help - it also means salting the earth where it grows by finally eradicating the christofascist, patriarchal, racist current in the population that has been there since the country’s founding and before. That fight is just as important as going to DC and [REDACTED].
I have no idea why people are just taking those numbers at face value.
Any Americans in this thread, have any of you ever been polled about anything regarding any of this? I know I sure haven’t. I wish they would poll me, I got an awful lot of opinions for these mfers.
Trump and his associated hangers-on have a long and storied history of pulling numbers directly out of their asses. It perplexes me that anyone takes anything the government says right now at face value.
That 40% is what makes me think a 2nd American Civil War is needed. The festering wound that is the Confederacy still lingers in America, and needs to be cleaned with a thorough Reconstruction.
I get it. But just like the UK isn’t Boris Johnson, China isn’t Xi Jinping, and Italy isn’t Giorgia Meloni, no country is going to show the reality and complexity from headlines generated by a handful of people.
What is happening here seems to be everyone taking out their frustrations on the exactly people most likely to help.

The fact that his approval rating is FORTY FUCKING PERCENT is absolutely crazy. Makes me so sad for my fellow human.

Great, I agree with everything you just said. Constructive discussion! I’d like for that to be what we spend our energy on.
Unfortunately we outside the US see mostly impotent hand-wringing coming from there. That’s why we’re so frustrated.
