    Don’t worry, once they gain control over the last few independent news outlets and restructure social media algorithms they’ll be able to manipulate public perception to the point where they have broad public support. Especially when the ai bots wear the opposition out by convincing them they’re alone in their left wing views. Tech bros are ready to destroy democracy for profit.

    Disastrous poll shows Trump’s White House return is a ‘failure’: Americans say he’s ‘gone too far’ … and then added “but whatcha gunna do? I’m sure someone else will save us.”

    “Failure” and “gone too far” are understatements and give the impression it was all by accident.

    Just 42% of respondents said Trump’s second term has been a success.

    I’m not sure 42% approval is a disaster. In Europe that wold be an amazing result. Even in USA with all the gerrymandering, voter suppression laws and constitution in general giving advantage to red states that could be enough for them to win another term. Definitely enough to stop democrats from getting anything done.

    Man, here at france, patrs has burned for way less than this.

    I hope they eventually wake up and see that the only way to stop this obvious dictatorship forming is torches and pitchforks. But modernized.

      Sharing angry rehearsed AOC videos on Reddit and writing “wake up america 😡”, aren’t they brave? Isn’t that the greatest opposition you’ve ever seen?

        Protests are becoming more frequent around here, even in the cold Southerners are not prepared for. This weekend I drove under a FUCK ICE protest on an overpass, with a FUCK ICE sticker on my car, to a store and passed a panhandler with a giant FUCK THE POLICE sign. Then my Mexican neighbors reached out to thank me for putting the sticker on my car. I feel a sense of alignment around me. I’m in Arkansas of all places. (I’m omitting quite a bit of anti-trans shit this weekend but that’s another story).

          I’m a school bus driver and I drive across multiple freeway overpasses each day. On most days these have protestors with temporary signs up on the fences facing the highway traffic. The problem is I have no idea whether they’re pro-Trump or anti-Trump since I only see the backs of the signs. One time I could make out “Jan. 6” on one of the signs (this was on January 6th, natch) but I don’t know whether they were remembering the good old days or not.

            There’s a guy on an overpass many mornings with a cardboard sign that is unreadable from the ground, I know what it says because I drive by him above (Deport Trump), but we do need some workshops on “how to make your sign readable because it’s worthless without that simple thing.”

    Hey “The rest of Americans” who didn’t see this coming. The CEO famed businessman known for going bankrupt in his endeavors (including a casino), is running the newly established United States, Inc. I’ll assume you’re not smart enough to see it, but we’re going bankrupt. No one in charge cares about you unless you make them money. So when you can’t get food or water, you should have worked harder and been rich. But hey, no more trans and gays and brown people bringing in drugs or offending your easily manipulated eyes.

    Honestly I hope the rest of the planet see this fall happen and takes out the billionaires by their checkbook. The ripple is huge here.

    Here in the UK, we were promised millions per week for the NHS, better jobs and “oven ready deals” to replace our relationship with the EU. Over 50% of people who voted fell for that bullshit. Some are upscaling to the further right Reform (UKs equivalent to MAGA). Telling bold lies will fool too many people, again and again. We cannot sit back. The motivated gobshites will vote us into oblivion.

    I feel majority of americans are in some sort of collective self destructive delusion. Thats the only way you can explain trump presidency - people didn’t vote for him, they voted for self harm because they’re sick.

      Spend a half hour watching Fox News and you can see the alternate reality that magats are living in. My personal exposure to Fox News is an occasional accidental glance at the TV screens at the gym and even just from that it’s obvious what’s going on.

    Lol, what? No, we don’t say he’s gone too far. We say he’s a criminal who shouldn’t be in office in the first fucking place. Get the fuck out of here with your standard political opposition speak.
