The other half voted for him.

The other half are as dumb as a bag of hammer.

That’s right. Just one hammer. With measles.

Between 33% and 38% of Americans shouldn't be allowed to make decisions because they are incompetent or vile. That's how many have never wavered in their support of Trump.

But I am shocked here at the extra 12+% who aren't outraged by what's happening now. Is that the 11% of Libertarians? (https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2014/08/25/in-search-of-libertarians/)

Libertarians are just right wing fascists who don't like paying taxes

[–] chebur54@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago

Wrong. Libertarian understand that the slavery is still here. Watch the movie Jones Plantation to understand it deeper if it is not that obvious yet. Involuntary taxation is theft. Government is the largest criminal organization.

To be honest part of me wants his raids to spread to other cities, especially in middle America, so it hits home to more voters. Especially his wavering voters. Some people can only recognize something if they experience it first hand.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 3 points 2 days ago

It will spread, but not in the middle of the country. He's allegedly targeted blue cities like New York, Chicago, Seattle next.

Our new chief of police here in Seattle just said that he expects to be arrested and imprisoned for protecting the city against these raids. Sounds like he might be a keeper. We sure could use it.

Nearly half. So, not even half—according to their polls, which could be poorly created.

It way more than half. Polling almost always favors fanatics.

I disapprove of his existence.

[–] toxicbubble@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

half of America is dumber than a sack of potatoes

[–] GoobyMcMooby@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

It’s ok because it will never happen to me! Huh? These politicians have zero policy agenda and thrive on having an other to rally against? They’ll go after me for the pettiest of things like living while poor to fill their private prison quotas once all the gross gays and browns are reduced to cinder? Nah. This is America. It can’t happen here!

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (3 children)

That every American doesn't approve of Trump's handling of protests is shameful.
