Despite the useless headline, it’s depressingly the same as it ever was:
47% of U.S. adults disapprove of of deploying the Marines to LA, with 34% approval.
45% disapprove the National Guard deployment, while 38% said they approve.
An equal share — 45% — also disapprove of the protests against ICE, per Monday YouGov polling.
36% said they approve of the protests, and 19% said they are not sure.
His core of 30 something percent approve whatever the hell it is he is doing and not enough people disapprove.
Trump’s team sees these numbers and rejoices. Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon know that the metric isn’t approval or disapproval. It’s “Is anyone gonna stop us?”
The polls - showing that not even 50% of Americans even care enough that the military is being deployed against peaceful protests, in peacetime, for literally no reason - confirm nothing is going to interfere, a-ok to keep dismantling democracy.
So long as the dismantling happens to small groups at a time and with no big noticeable changes in American lives, then it looks like most Americans are happy for it to happen.
Yeah well soon he will be coming after the resf of us then what? I mean its not even been 6 months and look just how much damage he has caused. Two years and it will full on North Korea in America.
