      A Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll found that 39% of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s handling of the presidency; a CNN/SSRS poll found that 41% of Americans approve; and a NBC News Stay Tuned Poll found that 45% of U.S. adults approve.

      Turns out, Trump is more popular than Musk, but all of these numbers are still amazingly high.

          I haven’t been able to come up with a good explanation yet. Previously, I thought it was just plain stupidity and ignorance. Now, I think it might have something to do with the way media manipulates the masses. Still not satisfied with my own explanation though. Is it the culture? Modern tribalism? Cognitive biases? Who knows.

      30% of Americans who weren’t alive in the 1930s think we should have 1930s government and a 1930s economy.

      They’re consuming propaganda like it’s real news. They’d be more upset if they were living in reality.
