How could it have gotten worse? Is it negative now?
It’s unpopular with those living in the US as well.
Just one question.
Simple answer is that the majority of Americans still either completely agree with him, or they just hate the Dems so badly they’d vote for a potato before they vote for anyone with a D next to their name.
That or we continue entertaining the January 6 type of fantasy where we believe the entire thing was rigged.
I think it was both and the apathy of American voters who didn’t agree.
I mean… As an American, that’s certainly a valid question. The short answer is that the modern American political two-party system has become the biggest shitshow in American history. For a longer explanation, I saw a video on a Canadian PeerTube instance that really explains the situation better than I could.
- voter apathy
- he didn’t win by as many votes as the largest election against him (2020)
- he was never popular among all people, but is among voting people
- electoral college doesn’t make sense
We have a broken election system here in the states, but not a popular president.
And what passes for the lefty party ran with genocide on their back and couldnt pull that off.

Republicans however also: deport people with a legal right to be in the country, including citizens, without due process. Want to destroy all progress made on issues affecting the LGBTQ+ community. Wish to reduce women’s rights, some including voting rights. Want to abolish the separation between church and state.
Even if there is a close resemblance between the two parties on Gaza, but there are plenty of other issues where they are still incomparable, and ignoring these differences and calling both parties equally bad does not help.

I can’t agree with this. Both of the parties are pretty evil, and I am pretty strongly against the Democratic party, but I can’t agree that they are just as fascist. Sure, the Democrats helped build out the tools for fascism, and they don’t really put up a fight against the fascists, but there is a difference, however small it might be.
Don’t get me wrong the democratic party is shit, but I don’t recall paramilitary thugs dragging people off the streets and disappearing them under Biden or Obama.

I dont disagree with that, but you said “probably just as fascist as republicans” which is obviously not true as, again, only one party is using paramilitary violence to target unwanted groups and political opponents.
continuing to claim this in the face of what’s currently occurring in the US is not simply naive, it’s downright idiotic

Tf are you on about?
And the voters who support Palestine sure did a good job keeping the worst of two options out.
Ohhh well, at this rate the Palestinian question, likely won’t be an issue next election.
How’s this one… From the river to the sea Palestine will be just a string of resorts for you and me!
I never tried to hedge anything. I Like the 2/3rds solution. Every time Hamas or Palestine hurts someone they loose 2/3rds of their land!
Is this you a week ago? Im not suprised a zionist doesn’t want genocide to be a voting issue. It would be better if we just pretended it wasn’t happening so your buddies can keep sending missle straight into refugee tents.
Lol, you seem miffed. Like I struck close to a truth you refuse to acknowledge…
Well, enjoy your “non-vote” and “no support” pitch. This is the result you choose.
Ohhh the finding out phase gets better!
We’re pretty dumb and ignorant. Our education system is awful and incredibly inequitable (funded by local property tax so only nice areas have adequately funded schools). I recently read that like half the country reads below a 6th grade level. And we have an overwhelming level of right wing disinformation coming from “news” outlets like FOX, OAN, etc.
Even with all that, about 1/3 of the country loves Trump like he’s a god, 1/3 hates him like he’s the devil and 1/3 is completely tuned out of politics. Shit is about to get real bad here and no one will be able to ignore the economic disaster so I think those numbers will change in the next few months.
Half of adults read at or below the 6th grade level.
That doesn’t mean they don’t have an expansive vocabulary, it means they can infer but not abstract.
So, it’s bad if my daughter suffers they may infer from their own suffering, but women in general and possibly ways their daughter may suffer elude them.
The trans vaccines leave chemtrails on your autistic activist judges who are reinventing the constitution by sticking to constitutional precedent and allowing billions of brown people to flood in from mexico.
We’ve got to build a wall to keep QAnon alive because hunter biden’s laptop autopen’d Project 2025 which has created the agenda which says state’s rights are important, except only when it is incongruent with the heritage foundation’s agenda.
Everything I have said is true, signed, DumpyJTrumpetbooty
This is basically the current administration, in a post.
If you’re still trying to understand it, you really need to read between the lines or perhaps some tea leaves.
If you actually look at the decisions being made, a lot of people in a lot of very deep red areas are getting a bunch of federal cheddar. Plus dumpy’s fam has made billions on their own crypto during all of this by using the popularity.
Then there’s all the quid-pro-quo ‘dealing’ we keep hearing about, but we only hear the public side of it. We don’t hear the private business negotiation where the terms are only sweetened after a bribe is agreed upon.
I think most people don’t realize they are mad about the repercussions of a somewhat “unchecked” capitalist system and point the blame (rightfully) at “insiders” and “elites” who they believe are enriching themselves at our expense. The Reich wing media also works wonders at directing “class conflict” into “social conflict” blaming immigrants and people who aren’t the same as them for all of our issues…
Where they fall flat is voting for the absolute embodiment of capitalist greed and somehow believe that because he isn’t an “insider” that means he gives a shit about them…
Propaganda is a hell of a drug.
I forget where I read it originally, but I think a lot about “You hate every piece of capitalism but don’t connect the dots to see the big picture”
Lol
Uh… The US has been globally unpopular for as long as I’ve been alive.
USians become aware of how unpopular the US is, now that they agree with that sentiment
Edit: It me, I hate it here
Yes, but not as much as they are now. That really says something.
True enough, but that’s mostly because they alienated the people who didn’t already hate America, like Europeans who thought they were too special (and white) to get the Uncle Sam boot and Chinese who didn’t care as long as they got to export cheap goods. Trump’s rampage, weirdly enough, has failed to make the people who already hate America hate it more.
I hate living in the headlines of Plague Inc.

Tankies aren’t spreading their crap for nothing lol
Ehh, good point. Humorously, a lot of those Tankies are Yankees. Which I will never understand. Setting fire to your own house to please your neighbor who doesn’t give a shit about you?
Let’s coin a new word. YankTank? TankYank?
yankies? as opposed to yankees
That does make the most sense but I feel you’d be fending off people trying to correct your spelling. YankieTank? It needs to be obvious on first glance.
TankieYankie sounds extra mocking…?
TankieYanking? Hehehe

possibly due to the coups in Africa?

Yes it certainly does seem that no one cares about any other thing than crushing the west at the moment. Which won’t save any of the Muslims in China! It will not save anyone in Pakistan. There are actually several other decades long genocides going on at the moment but if you ask anybody they have no idea.
Don’t blame me, I didn’t vote for that orange shit stain.
Dang, I really thought this was all nibble4bits’s fault. My worldview is shattered.
