A majority of Americans say President Trump is a “dangerous dictator” who poses a threat to democracy and believe he’s overstepped his authority by actions such as the mass firing of federal employees, a new survey says.
The wide-ranging poll released Tuesday, on Trump’s 100th day in office, is the latest sign of him losing support for his immigration and economic policies — the two issues that largely fueled his election.
Start running polls asking if they think the military should forcefully remove him. Get everyone on board and used to the idea
If they don’t, someone else will
Hmm it’s almost as if people are catching on to the Terracotta Tyrant! And that only after checks notes a career of grifting, skirting the law and intimidation, four years of a failed presidency, a lost election, and a campaign full of tyrannical rhetoric.
Phew, it’s a good thing the American People ™ so quickly recognize people for who and what they really are.
They sure seem reluctant to do something about him though.
“This guy is a real threat, he’s dangerous! He’s a dictator, he shouldn’t be in power!”
“Alright, you’re the people, go do something about it.”
“Ehhh…”
Ok, so why didn’t the majority vote against him then??
Because genocide or some shit
Where was this fucking majority in November!?!
Useless cunts.
They should fucking do something.
who could possibly have seen this coming, except everyone. He literally is doing all the things he said he was gonna do. Surprised much?
And his cultists repeatedly say they’re overjoyed with how horrible he’s being. This country is absolutely cooked.
WHAT!?!?! The guy that said he would be a dictator on day one is a dictator on day one!?!?! Who could have seen this coming!?!?!
Imagine if their constitution gave them the right to do something about it…
Oh well 🤷
All of these polls are completely useless. Trump has a 30-40% base of supporters. So naturally, all polls about Trump will show a majority against him.
Unfortunately, 30-40% is more than enough.
Cause another 50%+ will never resist in any way, and will still plead “this must be a mistake” when the brownshirts break down their door, take their life savings, and order their daughter to undress in front of them.30% support is what the Nazis in Germany had, with 10% actual Nazi party members.
He has torn apart in 100 days a country that took almost 250 years to build.
It’s quite the achievement of malice and desperation.
I hate the orange shitgibbon. I absolutely detest that moving sack of human effluence, but you’ve got to give him credit where it’s due. 250 years of diplomacy down the shitter in less than 100 days.I can only hope that history will treat him the way he deserves to be treated and that his sycophants get the same.
Take the MAGA cult out of the poll and it’s more like high 60s to low 70s.
That seems low to me.
There’s the ostrich/head in the sand types who stay oblivious on purpose.
There’s also people that just assume it’s more of the usual WEE-WOO-WEE-WOO FOX NEWS ALERT OBAMA WORE A TAN SUIT AND USED TO SMOKE, IS HE THE ANTI-CHRIST?! WEE-WOO-WEE-WOO MITT ROMNEY SAID HE HAS BINDERS FULL OF WOMEN* stuff and don’t pay any mind. We’re some of the most heavily propagandized people on earth, and some folks choose to save their sanity by just ignoring it. Trump’s bullshit has actually been bad enough to burst the bubble for a few of these people.
*Binders full of women was legitimately just fucking funny. I actually laughed when I heard the debate live on the radio. For proof that Romney is a lizard person, you have to look at how he strapped the family dog to the roof of their car to go on vacation.
Romney did WHAT??

So strange to see things making fun of the Republicans pre-Trump. The reality is far, far worse than the way even the most scathing mockery depicted them.
Oh, yeah, you didn’t know about that? Romney was even the one who spilled the beans, he was telling a fun and completely normal human story about how he took his family on a road trip, and the dog, being strapped to the roof, got so freaked out that it had diarrhea all over the roof of the car and he had to go into a car wash and rinse the car off. I don’t remember if he said he took the dog off to wash the car, but one can hope that he at least managed to emulate that level of human behavioral subroutines.
And Noem bragged about shooting her dog. And RFK Jr is the bear roadkill guy.
What the fuck is wrong with these people?
I think that church has a lot to do with some of it for at least some of these people. Church has become, for many evangelicals, a weekly dose of assurance. Instead of an opportunity to improve themselves or question how they can lead a better life, it’s a temple of worshipping the self as it already exists. “Welcome to church, you are right about everything and God loves you. They are wrong about everything and God hates them. God bless, see you at Denny’s, don’t forget to not leave a tip”
RFK jr is also the “mutilated a whale carcus and strapped the severed head to the roof of the car with his kids inside” guy
Yeah, I definitely have some left leaning friends that are like this. Whenever I bring it up they are like “Nah, it’s not that bad. They wouldn’t actually do any of that.”
that’s why i’ve been documenting the horrors i can find evidence of in my town. too many white liberals think because nothing bad has happened to them means that nothing bad could be happening. their peaceful homogonized neighborhoods are pretty evenly split between white liberals and white conservatives, and they get along fine with the conservatives and assume that’s how the cons treat everyone.
this is part of how the overton window shifts rightward. the more isolated someone is, the easier they are to manipulate. these isolated white liberals lack diversity of perspective but value open mindedness as a virtue. the only people they encounter who disagree with them look like them, talk like them, and eat like them. the only difference is they don’t value open mindedness. they want to maintain a community of only people who look like them, talk like them, and eat like them.
resisting fascism starts at home. it starts by choosing to inherit the stories of our past and speak of this truth to others. coalition building is a process of both finding people you can trust and a process of notifying people that their one PoV isn’t the only way to see the world and that they might have work to do
So roughly 70% of sane Americans recognize we’re living under a dictator and yet we do hardly anything in revolt. Do they not realize that by the time the gas chambers are on our soil it’ll be too late?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hands_Off_protests
I disagree that there’s no one doing anything. The largest protest in US history happened. And two motherfuckers tried to get him got. I obviously don’t endorse violence but it’s an action.
It would be more accurate to say that not enough is being done, and we should try and figure out why it is and how to fix it
Yeah the protests is why I said “hardly anything” as opposed to nothing, because while they ARE happening I’m a bit more results driven and have yet to see any.
You’re telling me that fascism wasn’t defeated by my witty sign?!?
It’s easy to be cynical. I do it all the time. But an autocrat with 20% approval is much, much different than one with 80% approval.
If nothing else, protests and direct action made Elon Musk sad and that’s a side quest complete.
You guys should start actually rebelling.
Almost as if Harris and the DNC should have tried harder, and the dumbasses who stayed home should have held their noses and voted.
Almost like these people should have voted for Harris then or some shit. Who would have known, right? 🙄
All the DNC needed to do was condemn Israel’s genocide in Gaza and to stop enabling it. Instead, we have to deal with this shit. Maybe they’ll learn and they can be swing to actual progressive, but I won’t hold my breath.
That’s not true at all. Online liberals would have found some other thing to crucify Harris over. The idea that some of you guys didn’t support a candidate because of the actions of a foreign government, is simply baffling to me.
Sorry, I should have clarified. I’m not in that boat, but for the people who have told me they didn’t vote, that was the biggest issue for them. Maybe there would have been something else, but I believe a policy change with Israel would have been enough to get those people out. I guess we’ll never know.
Looking at the bigger picture should have been enough, and they simply refused to do that.
I said it last summer that we were going to single-issue our way to authoritarianism, and yep, here we are.
Yep. Israel pushed disinfo, Russia pushed disinfo, and the republicans all pushed the same shit, and people bought it hook, line, and sinker.
Yeah but for sure you can’t vote for a woman!?!
I voted for Clinton and Harris enthusiastically. Are they perfect candidates? No. No candidate is perfect, and that’s the problem with online leftists. Seemingly, they will only get off the couch when they have 100% of what they want. This is also why the party doesn’t court leftists in this country. Because even if they give them 80% of what they want, that 20% will keep them on the internet complaining they’re not getting that 20.
Yep. All or nothing, perfect or bust, nothing is ever fucking good enough. They’ll screech for that last 20% (fair enough) but when they realize they might only get 80%, they’ll sit on their ass on election day or vote 3rd party to “teach them a lesson”.
I agree with them on pretty much most things, but my god, they’re fucking insufferable.
Exactly. I’m very liberal, but I’m also a pragmatist. If we get half of the shit we want, lets fucking go. The idea that every single promise Biden had given that wasn’t fulfilled was a reason to sit out was fucking stupid. The biggest one was student loan forgiveness. He did something, and the fucking republicans played lawfare to stop it and even then he still forgave almost a quarter of a billion dollars in loan debt.
Like…
How fucking entitled, and spoiled are you, that you let perfect be the enemy of good? Get out of your privileged bubble, and actually pull the fucking dog sled with everyone, instead of standing off to the side preaching about how you’d do it better.

My favorite excuse I’ve heard is “Well, Trump getting elected isn’t my fault. I didn’t vote, which means I didn’t vote for him”.
If the technology existed for me to punch someone via the internet, I would have used it. And I’m a pretty peaceful guy lol.
Broooo I know it’s like… Fuck dude you need smacked across the mouth for talking like that.
How fucking lazy some of these people are, you know?
Lazy, entitled, and just…not even living in the same reality it seems.
Like, instead of compromising ever so slightly to get 80% of what they want, they refuse to budge and get 0% of what they want. Worse, even, because now we’re losing what we already had.
Thanks for letting me vent lol.
