A new poll shows that about 4 in 10 Americans say Trump has been a “terrible” leader in his second term.
The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research also found that about 2 in 10 think he has done an average job in his presidency and 3 in 10 says he’s been a great or good president.
44% say Trump’s focused on the wrong priorities in the AP-NORC poll, 21% said an even mix and 10% don’t know
30% of the population thinks tanking the economy, shredding the constitution, and deporting people to what is essentially a death camp without due process, all totally legal and very cool.
Reminds me of this book about interviews with “ordinary” non-political, non-military Nazi party members in Germany. Just regular citizens with jobs and families. “They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-45” (1955).
“The author determined that his interviewees had fond memories of the Nazi period and did not see Adolf Hitler as evil, and they perceived themselves as having a high degree of personal freedom during Nazi rule, with the exception of the teacher. Additionally, barring said teacher, the subjects still disliked Jewish people… At the time of the interviews the interviewees were still not in favor of the democratic Bonn government.”

Sample size was 10 men… The author didnt even speak german
It’s not a poll. It’s a book.
Doesnt matter if you’re writing a book or a poll…It’s a very flawed methodolgy
Deporting.Disappearing.I got downvoted on another post for stating that disappearing is a term used for events when what happened to the victims isn’t public knowledge. We know who was deported illegally (without due process) to El Salvador.
Disappearing is when a person suddenly vanishes and it sometimes takes a Truth and Reconciliation effort a decade later to figure out where they were buried.
Sure, sure. It’s not disappearing someone if they eventually list their names or let them make phone calls, days, weeks, or months later, it’s just sparkling secret deportations.
Just because they’re doing it sloppily doesn’t mean it’s not disappearing.
Or maybe we should wait a decade before we refer to it as what it is.
