Yup. When you “both sides” insanity, you normalize it.

They’ve already normalised the idea enough that they’re polling people about whether or not it should happen as if it’s a totally valid question to ask. That shouldn’t even be a question, the only response should be “no, fuck off, you can’t do that”. Once again the media are complicit in sanewashing and normalising this shit.

Nine ways from Sunday. I’m actually more surprised when I do have hope because the vast majority of the time I believe it is quite hopeless.

7 in 10 don’t want him to run. That means 3 in 10 do want him to run. There is that 30% of fucking morons who want Trump forever.

Yeah, that was the first thing I noticed too. 30% of voters actually want a god-king.

Depending on how they did this poll, 3-4/10 don’t vote so their opinion doesn’t matter anyways.

And his approval rating hovers around 30-40% so this tracks.

Insane regardless, but the 3/10 also includes people without an opinion. Depending on how it’s worded, it could even include people who are only OK with it if it’s legal, or something like that, which it isn’t.

Trump received ~32% votes of eligible voters in the 2024 US General. So that statistic is pretty on the mark

I bet every one of the three in ten have at some point called themselves a constitutionalist.

I saw a Youtube comment the other day calling for Trump to throw away the constitution, declare himself king and execute judges who don’t enact his will. It had likes.

I mean… it’s probably Russian bots? Right?

Honestly it probably is. That’s the whole Russian method, sow dissent and make the other side hate and distrust each other. Find every division you can and build the “other” into an evil bogeyman. Of course the fact that the literal nazis have seen this as an opportunity gives it a grain of truth and there is always someone who really believes that.

Yes, it is 100% Russian bot glazing, but that is how propaganda works, some people see all tge bot activity and jump on board.

Biggest Russian troll farm employs over 60,000 people to run tens of accounts at a time.

I can’t believe 3 in 10 want him to overthrow the constitution. We’re a deeply unserious nation.

The fact that it isn’t 10/10 people disgusts me.
