Summary: Republicans are 50/50, everyone else is strongly opposed.
25% of Americans would jump off a cliff if Trump told them to.
Gosh, that’d be convenient; here’s hoping 🤞
More likely: 50% of Republicans are still waiting for instructions what to think.
Most people : don’t do it
Government leaders: don’t do it
Business: don’t do it
Academics: don’t do it
All other countries and states in the world: don’t do it
Trump: I’m gonna do it.
It’s worth looking at the framing of this. CNN asked, “Would you (favor) or (oppose) the U.S. attempting to take control of Greenland?” A poll from 4 days early found, when specifically asked about taking over Greenland by force, found it was a 86% support, 9% oppose.
Trump has made several bids to buy Greenland, and I think most of the support in this poll is for that option. I think the majority of Americans really don’t believe he’ll send the military to Greenland and destroy the NATO alliance. They think this is a negotiating tactic, and they are seriously mistaken.
75% is an awfully low number.
25% of people being propagandised beyond reason is a high number, yes.
Hitting 75% agreement in US politics is honestly unusual today, so I think it’s a good sign that Trump has domestic opposition on this one
Unusual? “Breathing” would struggle to break 60%. 75% is functionally unanimous.
Not in US politics. If you have 51% of votes of whoever is The Party at the moment, you can make decisions without others impeding on them.
If one party got 51 % of votes, then that means 26,01 % of all votes is enough to decide about the all of the country’s things alone.
They should do a poll how many wanna never see Trump’s ugly face again?
They should do a poll how many wanna never see Trump’s ugly face again?
Y’know after the douchebag stuck his mugshot on the “America the Beautiful” National Park pass, people selling stickers to cover his stupid ugly face raised $13,000 towards National Parks.
So…that’s kinda a poll, and it sends a pretty stark message! :p
The government said it could void the pass if people “deface” the cards by covering Dear Leader.
Given that seeing his face is basically visual molestation, I can see why tons of people “who buy a pass every year” opted to not bother.
I wouldn’t mind seeing it again but it depends on the circumstance. And the amount of circumstances depends on the “creativity” of others.
I don’t even need violence done to him.
Take away all his money and power and make him walk around the country selling rotten eggs or tomatoes you get to throw at him. And that’s how he has to pay for his life from now on.
And the other 25% are straight up Nazis.
It says “…Of Americans”, so the optimist in me says “25% of people didn’t know about or answer the poll.”
Jesus Christ I had some hints that Republicans would be coming to their senses, but fucking 50/50?!? These people are fucking lost, too far gone. They are beyond normal legal or democratic avenues. This is a violent, fascist authoritarian cult, and they need to be stopped.
If they don’t change their minds when their country threatens real hostilities against former allies, then they will not be swayed by anything except force, combined with real, uncompromising economic destruction.
Americans will need a general strike and armed protests at this point.
75% of Americans are traitors then.
But what did you expect from a bunch of ungrateful colonials who rebelled against the British empire. They were traitors from the start.
Did you read that 75% of Americans support this?
No, 75% Americans don’t support it. That’s why they are traitors
Oooooh, I see, very stupid of you.
I am American. I wear it a as badge of honor
Clearly
Too bad most of them elected a dictator.
Not really a facts based dig, it’s not as if America has highly democratic elections or a system that actually wants people to vote
