More like he continues his plans to cancel the midterm elections after seeing poll results.
edit: I just heard the post office employees just got fresh email messages that they were allowed to move during and work through any government curfews.
Please stop posting meaningless crap articles with "panics", "losing support", "wildly unpopular", "regrets voting for trump", anything about them dropping n the polls, etc. etc. It's all fake crap to make anti-fascists feel good and falsely think they are somehow winning.
No. They aren't panicking, they are proceeding with their plans full speed ahead and doing whatever they want with impunity. They still have just as much support from the magats as always, and every magat would still happily vote for trump again.
Don't post these and downvote the ones you see.
Copium up!
trump isn't panicking for shit. He's fucking demented. He goes from confused to arrogant to rageaholic and back again using special words he invented or whatever the last guy who just spoke said. That's it. There's no panic in there. That would imply cognitive function.
I'd like to believe this is bad news for him but it just isn't. He's completely unaffected and there is still much more destruction of America that he will inflict.
Don't worry its a suppository
For all the good suppositories do me, I might as well jam them up my ass.
Oh, my…
Anything is if you're brave enough.
Uhmmmm but he can identify animals quite well on his cognitive tests.....
THEY’RE EATING THE DOGS
"Sir, those are pigs."
A batch of private GOP polling data obtained by Axios revealed that President Donald Trump’s mass deportation policy is wildly unpopular with independent and undecided voters
Bullshit clickbait:
Orange sociopath would like a more PR-friendly series of kidnappings and murders, please and thank you
I think that is literally what he is asking for. His base loves it when cops shoot black people and disappears Mexicans.
The title is shit. Trump does not give two flying fucks.
As recourse for the abysmal polling numbers, an individual [...] advocated for members of the Trump administration to make appearances [...] to promote the “positive” aspects of Trump’s immigration policy, the outlet.
I would love to hear the positive aspects of a government funded terror campaign against its own people.
Job market is slowing. Prices of everything are up. The US is burning international bridges like kindling. Fascist pedos are running the US. POTUS is "joking" about not having elections and threatening to invoke the insurrection act.
Reality is this:
And they want to tell people it is this:
They will just race bait. Somali's are defrauding your government. Hatian's are eating your cats and dogs again. Venezualian's are all gang members and/or from insane asylums. Mexican's are bringing in drugs. Greenlander's won't let me buy them.
According to the internal polling, a staggering 60% of independent voters disapproved of Trump’s immigration policy
I sense the word, "staggering," has received a new definition, coz 60% is not staggering in the 2024 sense.
The private polling was completed at the end of December, just days before ICE fatally shot Minnesota woman Renee Good
Alright, that might make a dent in the 40% supporting this shit show.

I could definitely see how an appearance by chief screeching howler monkey Miller or head cash bag grabber Homan would explain to us how this is all Very Normal and Good for the Nation. /s
That's not 60% of all voters. That's 60% of people who aren't Democrats. Which is already a minority of voters. Trump needs 90% of his base because he gets 0% of everyone else.
Think about it. He got half the vote. Now he is getting a disapproval rating from more than half of that half. If that holds true they are going to lose every single race in the mid terms and for the foreseeable future.
lose every single race in the mid terms and for the foreseeable future.
don't be too sure. they've spent every waking moment since 2020 taking over election boards, gerrymandering, and otherwise double-re-fucking the election process to try and prevent them ever losing again. in my own state, the state board of elections was promptly overrun by deep R trump loyalists, and have proceeded to cut polling locations in every county in the state, which does literally nothing but hurt the D voter--not only because of access, but that also makes it easier for them to send "monitors" to "watch" the polling, who i'm sure won't really be there to intimidate people
i wish i was more optimistic, but i'm not the same person i was on 11/4/2024
But they're assuming they're base won't leave when doing those gerrymandering things. This is why he is talking about cancelling midterms. Gerrymandering with no base is worse than no gerrymandering. He'll lose a bigger area.
it's not just the votes
included a provision written behind closed doors with no public scrutiny that would make it easier for judges to throw out election results. Under the plan, losing candidates would no longer have to prove that individual fraudulent votes swung the election but rather that the number of allegedly fraudulent votes exceeded the margin of victory
Other GOP-controlled states have already changed their laws to make it easier to void election results. As part of its sweeping voter suppression law, Georgia’s heavily gerrymandered legislature removed Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger as the chair and a voting member of the state election board after he rebuffed Trump’s attempt to overturn Joe Biden’s victory. The legislature will now appoint a majority of board members, and the board, in turn, can take over up to four county election boards it deems “underperforming”—raising the prospect that Republicans could assume control of election operations in heavily Democratic areas like Atlanta’s Fulton County. In concert with a provision allowing right-wing groups to mount an unlimited number of challenges to voter eligibility, these changes will make it easier for Republicans to contest close elections and possibly overturn the results.
long story short: the end goal was always to make it so that state election boards (all R, of course) can just call the winner, regardless of the actual voting results
But those state election boards have to survive too. They have to live amongst the people that hate what's going on? I'm not sure. I'm also not saying you're wrong. I just don't know.
The Regime might have a generous vacation policy for their election boards. A free trip to Mar-a-Lago or Alligator Alcatraz, depending on your affiliation.
have to live amongst the people that hate what’s going on?
i don't think so. you don't attain to a position that high in the state government without having resources/connections (read fucktons of money), which means you don't have to live around or even look at the poors
Well, most of them are really really stupid, so there's that.
progressive people want someone who's smarter than themselves to lead. conservatives want someone who's exactly as dumb as they are. which is, as you say: really really fucking pants-on-head stupid
this is also why words like "progress," "education," "expert," even "science" have become pejoratives to them
That's not quite it either. It's 60% of independent voters, so it also doesn't include MAGA. It's the swing voters, which happen to be the only voters who really matter.
But, fortunately for the GOP, they're also easily swayed by the "both sides" narratives and can be disillusioned into staying home instead of voting. It's why voter turnout is one of the biggest predictors in whether the Dems or the GOP will win an election. Independent voters have trended more leftward in recent elections because the GOP is fucking insane.
There is no such thing as an independent in the United States. It has been code for "conservative" for decades and its a core part of Trumps base.
I'll disagree here. I'm one of those mythical independent voters. I have no party affiliation, and subscribe to Jefferson's philosophy:
I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in any thing else where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent.
However, most conservatives see me as a lefty, because most of my views, especially on social issues, are consistent with left-wing policies.
Several states don’t have party registration, my swing state included. That changed after I first registered to vote so I’m not sure what my registration looks like now; I can’t change it even if I wanted to. This has the effect of making everyone in the state, at least those who registered since the change, an independent voter, even if they are party loyalists. They simply don’t have a choice to be anything but independent.
So while it may be true that there are no undecided voters, that’s not really what they are looking at.
the article is clickbait trash
I can’t see why this would matter to the usual basket of deplorables any more than the litany of prior horrors
I hear you, but the difference is that this woman was white and suburban. She looked like them, that's dangerous.
they already wrote her off as lgbt
Not a factor because these polls were done last year
But how do they feel about shooting white ladies in the face?
Based on the vibes, I'm gonna guess "similar"
Depends. What's her sexual orientation?
clearly they should have known their place /s
It doesn't matter. Even if it's unpopular and they hate it the republikkkans will ALWAYS VOTE FOR IT. Shitler is ruining their lives, but would they vote for him again? Yes without a single doubt.
Pathetic fucking scumbags and pedo-protectors. To a one.
I'm just here for my daily "fuck polls, I hate polls" comment.
Rawstory editor giving out assignments like “ok type ‘trump panics’ and let autocomplete finish the headline”
I am convinced that polling is completely broken. There's no methodology that works anymore because scam callers have basically destroyed telephones as an information-gathering resource and online polling is very easily compromised.
So paying millions for chat gpt to come up with a plan for him isn’t working?
Oh good this will surely make things change for the better. Finally some good news.
This is for discussion, but this is what I could find on Hitler and his popularity since they didn't really take polls like we do now.
The March 1933 federal election was the final democratic election before WWII – in which the Nazi party received 43.91% of the vote.
Peter Fritzsche deciphers the puzzle of Nazism’s ideological grip. Its basic appeal lay in the Volksgemeinschaft — a “people’s community” that appealed to Germans to be part of a great project to redress the wrongs of the Versailles treaty, make the country strong and vital, and rid the body politic of unhealthy elements. The goal was to create a new national and racial self-consciousness among Germans. For Germany to live, others—especially Jews—had to die.
deportations tank
No one else momentarily confused?
Was trying to picture a tank.
or
No
Perhaps
Fish tank?
