You know what? It doesn’t matter. It could be 5 percent and it wouldn’t make a lick of difference if the rest of your country sits there with its thumbs up it’s asses and allows it.
If it’s 30% and not 50? Great- the rest of you look even WORSE for not dealing with it. Get off your sofas and start ensuring these people don’t feel safe leaving their homes.
Not my country, guy. We’ve been telling you for decades this was going to happen. I’m sure it will be our problem soon enough, but for now this is on you.
30% backing a fascist government as the floor is pretty fucking awful. That doesn’t leave a lot of room for the shitty normal conservatives or the centrists who are so terrified to actually have a stance that they’ll fight people with a strong opinion before they fight a fascist.
Absolutely half, maybe more even, are the kind of people who will either cause the problem or do nothing to stop it or even try to tell the good people that they’re being dramatic because they don’t want to face the fact their country is a broken mess.
The US isn’t a democracy. Its rare for people’s votes to lead to positive outcome.
People should vote, but they MUST do direct action to bring about positive change, especially for fighting systemic & entrenched racism. That’s more important
I’m sorry that taxing and auditing the rich, getting paid sick leave to railroad workers, expanding healthcare coverage to millions of americans, keeping literal nazis who set up illegal tents and cages out of power, etc aren’t “positive outcome” to you.
Just so we’re clear, everything happening right now is happening because millions less people voted in 2024 than in 2020.
I think dems lost because the campaign they ran on was “remember the last 4 years? It’s gonna be the same again! No real change” and it completely distanced themselves from those who are struggling due to inflation, the job market, etc. Trump promised “change” and that’s all the people want. It doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad change, but that’s why Trump won in my opinion. The dems need to push for and talk about “change” in the next midterms or else this country is lost.
Unfortunately half the US agrees with him and the other half is a bunch of pants-pissing cowards.
No. Its about 30%. Too damn high, but it is not half

I often like to frame comment replies as being for whoever reads them rather than for the previous comment in the chain.
Fair. I get too many dumbass replies from overly-defensive whiny white liberals assuming I’m American.

Not being bothered to show up and vote against them seems like they agree to some extent.

No, it’s happening because you let the wrong people be armed to the teeth.
