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.
We need to start impeaching and recalling every damn politician up the chain until we have people who will fucking do something.
We have been on the wrong track for decades. Luckily Trump lit that wrong track on fire and strapped us in while accelerating towards a pit of despair
A minimum 1/3 of the US is comprised of Nazis. Nearly every poll shows this.
It never stops shocking me how awful people. All it took was trump taking the muzzle off for a huge chunk of the country to reveal what shitty people they are.
Then. Do. Something. About. It.
If there are really two thirds of you, it shouldn’t be too hard to stop this shit
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.

Bro went out of his way to respond meaning it had some impact.
They did this a lot during the first junta too. Lots of polls as to how disliked he was.
Didn’t change one fucking thing.
It would have been awesome if my idiot fucking countrymen had done the barest scintilla of research and realized that this was always his fucking game plan
I am just so sick of saying “I fucking told you so.”
Oh that’s for damn sure
I think a good number of your countryman wanted his plan.
1/3 as shown by the votes and this poll. Those people are straight up dumb.
And another third of us are so fucking stupid and apathetic they didn’t care enough to vote
And another third of us are losing our minds watching what’s happening right now
I don’t even know if it requires research to belive that he means the bad things he says. Safe rule of thumb I’ve found for Republicans is assume they are lying about anything positive and telling the truth about the bad things they want to do.
As long as he’s not raising taxes on our rulers, our fellow countrymen are glad to have him over a progressive.
We really are stupid and being herded like sheep.
The crazy thing about the whole SNAP expiration thing is that that’s the “bread” of “bread and circus”. Circus is football. If he or someone in the admin would have made a specific point of making sure food benefits stayed in place, a lot more people would still be content to “stay out of politics” and march along like copacetic lemmings right off the fucking fascism cliff. So, in a dark sort of way… I think this might actually be good in the long run, though it will hurt (and perhaps kill) a LOT of people in the short term.
At the same time, who fucking knows. This is uncharted territory. Last time around, the fascists didn’t have a nuclear arsenal numbering in the thousands, nor did they formerly serve as one of the primary geopolitical lynchpins of democratic order.
When people revolt just watch: he’s going to bring out Jason Segel and declare Marshall law
Propaganda not only works, it’s been very well refined.
Also want to vote Trump for a third term.
Hahahaha…vote…
They voted conservative, what did they expect?
If you want your life to get better, you vote left, if you want it to get worse, you vote right.
We’ve got the whole 20th century as evidence of this
Well.
It depends on your tax bracket and property values, doesn’t it?
I’m in the top bracket, tax me more, the world gets better when you do
But also, frankly maybe tax wealth over work.
Work is productive to society, wealth is parasitic.
Property values (sensibly) go down with appropriate wealth tax.
If taxes could buy society s goodwill, I d hope they d be a bit pricier
i’m in the lowest tax bracket, but someday I’ll be on the top… 🤦
There another option, you believe only the local rich employer can help you.
Grew up in a small town with only one big employer. If they said bigger taxes would mean layoffs, will the town hated the idea of bigger taxes., because the employer was seen as the only things keeping a respectable and comfortable lifestyle possible in the community.
Welfare was both inadequate and shameful, and other than that, they didn’t see upside to government spending. The big projects they see were things like building a big bypass for a big city to have better traffic. Meanwhile all the infrastructure spending closer to home was less dramatic. The roads thanklessly kept drivable without any dramatic news coverage. The local medical center kept afloat by federal spending without anyone really highlighting that. Easy to make the narrative that big government takes your money and gives it to city folk, and anything the employer does to the community is forced by big bad government.
Sometimes I wonder if taxes aren’t really about redistributing wealth, but about testing the limits of our endurance
If you want your life to get better, you need to stop relying on politics.
*Randy looks out the window to see a 93 year old grandmother being slowly chased and tackled by a 340 pound limp-jogging, hyperventilating, otherwise unemployable 32 year old virgin in a balaclava in 90 degree heat and desert camo vest in the middle of the suburbs. His tactical armor vest, which was sold to him with a cardboard plate that he thinks is bulletproof, also has the word “fedirel” spelled wrong on the name plate. On the bottom, he wears Buffalo bills sweatpants with the logo colored in with black sharpie.
*Randy goes back to polling agency’s phone call
“You know, I’m starting to think the country might be approaching the possibility of entering the wrong track eventually, maybe… If this keeps up for another 12-15 years, things could start to potentially get a little bleak… Uh huh, no I don’t mind sharing that info with you, I am what they call an undecided voter cuz I ain’t one a these liberal sheeps”
TLDR:
Most Americans are observant.

Most of the MAGA world isn’t even seeing stuff like this at all because their “news” won’t show it to them
Does no one love Jodie Foster anymore?
