Summary: Republicans are 50/50, everyone else is strongly opposed.
Can we revoke citizenship and deport the other 25%?
How about revoking citizenship and deporting the borguoise which is in power of this fascist regime - or even better, bring out the guillotine.
no
What if Trump said it was ok?
no
Isn’t it kind of Trump’s way of doing business? That’s exactly where things are headed for people who stand up against him.
… to Mars
the sun, like in the simpsons. have a giant rocket
They would die sooner on a trip to Mars. It took the Parker solarprobe years to get up near to the sun.
I think the US can’t take any more territory at this point. Leave Greenland alone.
If only ONE of those 75% was Trump.
Why is this in !world@lemmy.world ?
I am tired of USAsians’ navel-gazing.
Since when does this regime care about what its constituents think?
Election years. They are trying to put the fixes in but aren’t there yet. Look at 2020, they did all sorts of stuff they would never do in a non election year, like not totally fuck working people while giving all of our taxes to the rich. Instead giving some people a piece of a pittance as well.
Will they oppose it though? Or just sit on their arses and do nothing?
No, they want to be thanked for their service and be good bootlickers
no, through decades of propaganda they have been conditions either to think nothing will happen or something will “EVENTUALly” put a stop to it. thats why the protests if you call it that are largely ineffective, only a small portion of people are doing it.
As we’ve been seeing, mostly the latter.
He’s already ripped apart the 1st, 2nd and 4th amendments at least and no one seems to care, not even the military, who are supposed to defend it.Few elected officials seem to care, but plenty of ordinary people are waking up to the fact that political power is not something you can give away in a vote, it’s something you have to take.
Then do something about it.
Jesus christ.
I have an idea, let’s surround the Pentagon and levitate it!

That helped.
25% of Americans are perfectly fine with the US just taking over independent countries. 75% oppose but only if they don’t have to do anything other than answer a poll.
So I should be leaving a steaming pile of poop on every fourth front porch in the US? This is depressing, I only have so much poop.
Even if you pooped on a new one every day for 80 years, you’d only hit 29,200 porches. Alas, the shortcomings of human poop production hit hard in times like these.
I may need to cut my poops into bite-size pieces. Gonna need a new poop knife.
Ice cube trays
Just get a good honing steel and the one you have can last a lifetime.
However, if each of the 75019230 people who voted for Kamala would instead start shitting on the porches of the 25% (~90 million people), y’all will be done in less than two days. Such is the power of organizing!
25% of Americans are stupid psychopaths who don’t understand the consequences.
Oh i think the number is higher than that, it’s just levels of stupidity.
70% of Americans approve of higher minimum wage and universal health care, too.
It doesn’t matter.
higher minimum wage and universal health care
Yet when you mention these, 70% of muricans’ Pavlovian brains will yell Communist!.

And the other 25% are straight up Nazis.
Can the Lt ever find Greenland on a ma? Are people still falling for Lief Ericsson’s lies?
Don’t atribute malice where stupidity fits. It’s quite probable that a sizable chunk of those 25% didn’t even understood the question.
It says “…Of Americans”, so the optimist in me says “25% of people didn’t know about or answer the poll.”
Numbers like these really reinforce that there’s no coming back for the US.
Honestly I actually think this is a good sign. There was a point toward the end of 2024 when Trump could have come out and said the moon is made of cheese and polls would say 50% of Americans agree with him. The fact that in less than two years Trump has lost 50% of his base is insane. He’s is hemorrhaging support.
If numbers keep moving this way the midterm elections, which happen later this year will be interesting to say the least.
Wait so you are telling me the moon is not made of cheese!?!?
There aren’t going to be midterms
there is, barely anything meaningful will change, hence why schumer doesnt act very concerned about the elections.
I agree that Trump will try to cancel them, but if he does it will truly be the end for him. I am watching Milwaukee and I no longer believe Americans will sit still and let him cancel midterms. The opposition to Trump took a pathetically long time to get going, but it is finally going.
Elections have never been cancelled in the US, and the midterms aren’t going to be the time they start.
The bigger more pernicious danger is them fixing elections, which they are totally planning on doing every way they can. Then for the presidential election if they lose but have congress will just vote to give it to their guy anyway, and the supreme court will allow them if it looks like it will work.
If there’s one thing that you can say about this regime, it has been a regime of “first times”. I put the chance of actual midterms at perhaps 60%. Polymarket has it at 91%, so if I weren’t an Ontario resident, thus blocked from trading, I’d probably be spending some money.
They will also try to fix it, in case they can’t get it cancelled. But I believe they are doing everything they can to try and cancel it.
They are floating the idea at this moment that’s true. That is how this president works. Like he has one of his allies float an idea, like Michael Flynn and declaring martial law and rerunning elections under the guns of the military in 2020. I doubt they get the support.
I think they will be so unpopular though they will overplay their hands on congressional districts and not leave enough cushion, which is how the democrats took it in 2018. I don’t think the main cheating will manifest until the presidential election though.
Polymarket eh? I used to check out predictit, but the government made them shut down . That was a university led thing to explore getting more accurate predictions than polls I believe.
In my experience so far he is allowed to get away with anything his cult base will allow. Meaning he often acts illegally and/or against protocol, the damage is done, and then maybe, just maybe, the legal or democratic systems might react.
I agree with you that it seems like his main problem is that he may be moving too fast. He seems to have decided that he must move quickly, probably due to the inherent limitations of the election cycles and timing in the US. He has to make enough change prior to midterms, and prior to the next election, to lock in his power. If you consider his main motivation to be holding onto power, then everything seems to make sense. But in this case the American election cycles and timing, midterms and presidential elections, may actually be a saving grace, because he needs to make quick changes but if he moves too quickly he will provoke too much resistance. And another thing about Trump is that he is remarkably stupid when it comes to just about anything other than branding, so he may be unable to walk the fine line between change too fast and change too slow. And it may even be the case that with the American system set up as it is, that line doesn’t really exist.
Elections have never been cancelled in the US, and the midterms aren’t going to be the time they start.
There’s a lot of ______ never happened before going around in the US, in case you haven’t noticed.
At the risk of being long winded, I think most of the cheating will be geared towards the 2028 elections, and that is the one the president would be more likely to put off because the two term limit. If he is still cognizant, at some point his own people will shunt him aside perhaps. But he’s so out of it now the party can get him to do almost anything. They could even try to cancel social security at this rate.
They turned his America First on it’s head. The legacy of the president, such as it was, with the low information populations, is now tainted beyond recovery. We are more active abroad in adventurism than perhaps ever before. He wouldn’t have agreed to that if he was his 2020 self just out of self interest, but his mind is so far gone the party induced him to, by playing his emotions, holding his hand.
So whether the party wants to keep him a little longer as a puppet or not in defiance of the amendment forbidding more than two terms, may decide if they try to delay elections. They need a new leader at some point and vance isn’t it, so I suspect the elections will go forward.
But also I predict maybe fall 2027 there will be indictments to democratic officials, especially the front runners of the nomination (doing us a favor newsom will doom us all working off their republican light status quo campaigning, further right than Nixon, or GHW Bush.)
So federal investigations/prosecutions on democratic leaders, they will (continue to,) to interfere surreptitiously in democratic primaries and selections to ensure the weakest candidates are chosen, they will try and corrupt county level votes, statewide votes, the software used by those states, (that they have copies of and years to figure how to do it thanks to the 2020 bullshit, lindell gathered all the schematic bullshit for them.) Then if they control the congress they would just vote in their guy.
Plus voter suppression, taking people off of rolls in democratic districts. Then cancelling votes after the fact, signature matching type stuff. Other such ways of finding votes.
Worth another mention, many states gave their legislatures the ability to vote faithless electors in definance of the popular vote, GA for instance but a bunch. Texas I think removed that part from their voter bill they passed with the rest of the red states around 2021 on the furor of their failed election theft projections. So we have republican lawmakers with two avenues of cheating the popular vote. And the republican legislatures are cemented in with gerrymandering, only amendments giving the drawing of districts to independent bodies, as AZ, then MI did, the latter by voter sponsored referedum that passed with some 67 % in 2018.
Too much to really cover here, Bannon had his precinct level scheme after 2020, where they get their cheat friendly people in at county levels. Regardless everyone in the party not down with cheating has been purged. Plenty otherwise reasonably well intentioned people in their party that live in an alternate reality feel justified in their party cheating because they think the democrats are cheating, their cynical are nihilists.
Really I hoped the democrats would realize what we are up against, and find some loyalty, preventing the fixing of elections is their reason for being, the point of that oath they took. But they refuse to save the republic, seemingly oblivious but more likely they do not think it will hurt them, despite the fact that if they were involved in systematic cheating for years, they would have to be punished.
they already did for 2024 and dnc all threw up thier hands dint investigate it, why not 26 as well.
Oh Jesus Christ the bait here is real
Stop conceded to the fascists. The elections are run by the states. How are they going to “cancel” elections when there are thousands of local offices holding elections this year?
I think they want y’all to continue selling this fear for them so they can cheat again and say OH FIRST THERE WAS GOING TO BE NO ELECTION NOW WE CHEATED?!
Setting y’all up. (I get it, he said it, but it’s part of the theater)
Don’t forget that Russia has elections.
Yeah, but see, you’re under the false impression that Americans will go left instead.
There is no left option so how would they? They kill left populism in the cradle. The democratic establishment sees that as their reason for being, not beating republicans. Next year they may have something else to worry about as republicans might make good on their election theft projections and indict them for false rigging allegations.
there was never a left in the us, aoc, bernie are just release valves to take the pressure of the chuck schumers of the dnc(schumer and all the democrats like him, which is the majority), because they were the reverse mitch mcconnel, mtg and boebart for the dnc.
The writing has been on the wall for decades.
Good to see a lot against it.
There were a lot against the Vietnam War and the invasion of Iraq. Buckle up!
we can’t even manage the land we currently have.
