    A lot of people are only seeing very sensationalized edited media about this and thinks the protests are way worse and more violent than they actually are.

      Generally not how polling works, only 34% approved and the remainder is just no response.

      75% of Republican respondents approved of the National Guard deployment, only 68% for the Marines deployment.

      That every American doesn’t approve of Trump’s handling of protests is shameful.

      Quite the contrary. But looking at your post history, I wonder whether you accidentally said the opposite of what you meant.

        I meant that it’s shameful that not all Americans disapprove of the Trump fascist regime. I seem to have been grammar challenged.

    This country continues to depress me. It really should be way higher.

      It’s going to be interesting to see the reaction on the ones who approve when Trumpflation really gets going because farms can’t hire enough workers to pick their fields and work their cattle and poultry mills.

      Good time to plant a victory garden. You’re gonna need it.

      Well, remember George Carlin when he said something along the lines of “Think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half the population is dumber than that.”

    There’s something that needs to be done, and that something is drastic, and a lot of people don’t want to hear, or see it. But we can’t keep going forward as a country where more than half of people are violent sociopaths, or enablers of the latter.

    45% disapprove the National Guard deployment, while 38% said they approve.

    So 38% are enemies of Constitution and country.

    The other half are as dumb as a bag of hammer.

    That’s right. Just one hammer. With measles.
