      Why do we seem to gravitate to these kinds of people? Why are the worst of the people always the ones we always hear about. Is frustrating we give them attention, even negative attention is adored by these people.

    These polls are such trash… sorry… you’ll agree with me next time these types of polls show something you don’t like.

    Bullshit, all these approval ratings stories are lies. To make you feel disenfranchised. They want you to be cared because "That’s almost all the republicans and they have guns. Don’t pay attention to them, The amount that actually approve is far smaller than the number they seek to force to hide away with stories like this. We are Legion, they are the minority. If Half the country supports the Billionaires, how is Bernie Pulling 12,000 people to a rally in Idaho? These stories are because they’re afraid, it’s just a psyop.

        No, it’s the truthful acknowledgement that all corporate media and centralised social media is owned by Billionaires and that they are all pushing the narrative that Trump is more popular than he is. 12,000 people showed up to a Bernie Rally in deep red Idaho. You sound like a shill, which, of course, would make sense since they proliferate on the Political Sub-lemmys.

      More than half the voting population gave Trump a carte blanche when it was super Obvious who he was. Do you really think they’ve changed?

      Its lies. Very few people like arrogant billionares who think they can own countries and everyone else is below them and we’re leeches to be “deleted”. Someone who gets off on ruining lives. Not to mention he’s bat shit crazy and has a farm for his offspring. These billionares are the real threat. Trump is just a useful idiot to make things so bad the billionaires swoop in.

      Musk is the billionaire Trump. Not that smart.

      The smart ones are more dangerous and quiet like Peter thiel. The guy you never heard of that has in hands in everything bad with a fake stutter and compassionate tone. As they build fortresses in New Zealand. Almost like they know there will be a reason to hide.

        The other 42 are down with whatever. It’ll be fine. There’s always drama. Nothing won’t really change. Anyway, I’m going to a conference in x city and then hit the slopes…

    36% positive. It’s always about 35% approval with the crazy authoritarian stuff in the US.

        An important figure in nationalist politics in Germany during the first three decades of the twentieth century, Alfred Hugenberg became the country’s leading media proprietor during the 1920s. As leader of the German National People’s Party, he played a part in helping Adolf Hitler become chancellor of Germany and served in his first cabinet in 1933, hoping to control Hitler and use him as his tool. The plan failed, and by the end of 1933 Hugenberg had been pushed to the sidelines.

        Turns out, the wealthy buying up media to spread right-wing talking points to enable fascism in the face of progressivism is yet another way in which the modern Republican party is just a copy of their National Socialist ancestors.
