Summary: Republicans are 50/50, everyone else is strongly opposed.
Then do something about it.
Jesus christ.
I have an idea, let’s surround the Pentagon and levitate it!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_March_on_the_Pentagon
That helped.
70% of Americans approve of higher minimum wage and universal health care, too.
It doesn’t matter.
That means there has to be an overlap of millions of Americans who want this but still voted Trump. Does their stupidity know no bounds?
There’s a metric fuckton of Americans who would resurrect Hitler and the entire 3rd Reich before they willingly voted for a woman… let alone a brown woman… it’s ridiculous.
There’s a metric fuckton
I only do freedom units! /jk
Btw is that about 100 adult badgers?More like a hundred thousand large hamster wheels!
obama broke the minds of republicans and any people that dont like “blacks” that arnt republican voters for the sake of where they live in a blue area.
Which is why it is so strange to see the a female candidate pander to those voters. Plenty of stupidity to go around.
a woman isnt going to win either way if she dint, usa voters quite mysogynistic in various degree, you got the right wingers that are openly mysogynistics, but also the cloested ones that cant come out and say they dont really like woman.
higher minimum wage and universal health care
Yet when you mention these, 70% of muricans’ Pavlovian brains will yell Communist!.
This may not be the final word on the matter, but I’d like to see a US president ignore a the wishes of a supermajority of the population in a matter which would certainly affect everyone’s economic position quite badly.
You want trump to invade Greenland…?
I think he should personally oversee the invasion. It would be the best invasion. Nothing would go wrong with him pulling all of the levers.
he should be in the front lines leading the army like old kings did
I don’t think they were being literal: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/i-d-like-to-see
Maybe the idea is that if he tried it would finally be the breaking point where his base would abandon him or even fight back, but that seems like magical thinking to me.
Something something 5th Avenue something.
Yeah I agree, that would be magical thinking.
75% is an awfully low number.
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
Domestic opposition doesn’t mean shit if they don’t do anything about it.
You’ll excuse me if I don’t put much stock in the promises of Republican lawmakers. Particularly Murkowski.
Ask yourself, honestly, what will they do when push comes to shove?
One interesting point in the article you posted rather than OP’s is that according to Ipsos only 17% of Americans approve of taking Greenland. I have no clue what the truth is but that number ‘feels’ a little more accurate.
In short that would mean 17% of Americans are ride or die MAGA which sadly is a believable number.
Do keep in mind there usually is a “I don’t know” option. So both numbers can be true.
Note that violent means only had 4%. So 13% wouldn’t mind a peaceful purchase. Which is still dumb but at least not as outright insane as Stephen Miller would go.
I didn’t know if that’s “doing” anytime. It’s all rhetoric.
They also said all sorts of stuff about curbing his actions in Venezuela but when it came time to vote they couldn’t even get it to need a veto.
Maybe violating European sovereignty is a bridge enough to actually pass something, but I expect them to just let the veto happen
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.
Didn’t Trump pass an internet privacy bill in his first term with like 7% approval? Wasn’t his first Healthcare plan also around that approval, though that didn’t pass. Isn’t national background checks for gun sales at like 95%? Why do people think their opinion matters?
I think these polls are good to put our opinions on the public record.
Yeah, but they also make it clear to the world that we don’t live in a democracy. Especially when we go around trying to spread it around the world.
No, it really isn’t.
25% of Americans being in favour of invading a NATO country without provocation is insane levels of crazy
OP’s poll doesn’t say anything about military action. It just asks whether the US should try to acquire Greenland.
The Qunnipiac poll shows that when the question explicitly includes military action, opposition is 86%: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/us-voters-widely-opposed-taking-greenland-military-force/story?id=129280864
People are made vulnerable to their idol going haywire - by the need to rationalize having supported him. Thus the 50% of Republicans who bluescreened with “great leader always correct”. If they have time to read up on the issue, it will drop a bit.

making big assumptions here
“They did not choose to read up on the issue.”
-Narrator
You could probably poll 10,000 random Americans and find about 25% that would be in favor of eating lightbulbs and severing diplomatic ties with the magical land of Oz. That bottom 25% of Americans has got some real issues.
25% of people being propagandised beyond reason is a high number, yes.
Truthfully at this point I’m satisfied that 15% aren’t undecided on the issue
Polls are the most reliable way to be disappointed in humanity.
More likely: 50% of Republicans are still waiting for instructions what to think.
They’re not looking very hard then, because republican leadership and propaganda machines have been peddling that thought for months.
Yeah! We need to take Greenland because checks notes that’s where fentanyl comes from and without it we will get more brown people!
Seriously brown people are all the argument they need. The racism is insane with the party. Maybe they can say that Greenland is being invaded by tren de aragua and we need to bring ice there to improve our community. It’s the same logic we already have right? As in, devoid of it.
Fent is just powdered Lego
Trump is probably on a personal Vendetta against Denmark because he stepped on a LEGO brick in some girls room at Epsteins place.
In truth he is in hoc to Putin, Putin wants Nato to die. The president of the US does not have the juice to pull us out of Nato direct, but they figure they can whip up nationalistic furor to imperial expansion to kill it.
Inuits are pretty brown.
stand back and stand by
*on what to believe. Thinking is hard.
Polls don’t matter, Trump is their president and speaks for all of them.
If only there was a system of government where the people could make decisions. Ahh, that would be too cumbersome when the number of people got to big, so maybe there could be a smaller group of people who are chosen to best represent those people’s choices. Ahh, but once again that would leave idiots who could be swayed too easily making choices based on populism. Maybe if we added another smaller group of people to check that group to make sure the peoples will was not misguided.
That sounds difficult. Let’s just give one person all the power so there isn’t any time wasted on disagreement.
Also, this would be a big burden on a random person so let’s just give it to someone who really, really wants the power. Then, they can teach their replacement how to wield that power. That takes decades, so it should probably be someone close to them, like maybe their kid!
I think I just solved democracy!
Problem is that in dictatorships it doesn’t really matter what the population thinks about government policy.
Numbers like these really reinforce that there’s no coming back for the US.
Honestly I actually think this is a good sign. There was a point toward the end of 2024 when Trump could have come out and said the moon is made of cheese and polls would say 50% of Americans agree with him. The fact that in less than two years Trump has lost 50% of his base is insane. He’s is hemorrhaging support.
If numbers keep moving this way the midterm elections, which happen later this year will be interesting to say the least.
Wait so you are telling me the moon is not made of cheese!?!?
Yeah, but see, you’re under the false impression that Americans will go left instead.
There is no left option so how would they? They kill left populism in the cradle. The democratic establishment sees that as their reason for being, not beating republicans. Next year they may have something else to worry about as republicans might make good on their election theft projections and indict them for false rigging allegations.
there was never a left in the us, aoc, bernie are just release valves to take the pressure of the chuck schumers of the dnc(schumer and all the democrats like him, which is the majority), because they were the reverse mitch mcconnel, mtg and boebart for the dnc.
There aren’t going to be midterms
I agree that Trump will try to cancel them, but if he does it will truly be the end for him. I am watching Milwaukee and I no longer believe Americans will sit still and let him cancel midterms. The opposition to Trump took a pathetically long time to get going, but it is finally going.
Elections have never been cancelled in the US, and the midterms aren’t going to be the time they start.
The bigger more pernicious danger is them fixing elections, which they are totally planning on doing every way they can. Then for the presidential election if they lose but have congress will just vote to give it to their guy anyway, and the supreme court will allow them if it looks like it will work.
they already did for 2024 and dnc all threw up thier hands dint investigate it, why not 26 as well.
If there’s one thing that you can say about this regime, it has been a regime of “first times”. I put the chance of actual midterms at perhaps 60%. Polymarket has it at 91%, so if I weren’t an Ontario resident, thus blocked from trading, I’d probably be spending some money.
They will also try to fix it, in case they can’t get it cancelled. But I believe they are doing everything they can to try and cancel it.
They are floating the idea at this moment that’s true. That is how this president works. Like he has one of his allies float an idea, like Michael Flynn and declaring martial law and rerunning elections under the guns of the military in 2020. I doubt they get the support.
I think they will be so unpopular though they will overplay their hands on congressional districts and not leave enough cushion, which is how the democrats took it in 2018. I don’t think the main cheating will manifest until the presidential election though.
Polymarket eh? I used to check out predictit, but the government made them shut down . That was a university led thing to explore getting more accurate predictions than polls I believe.
In my experience so far he is allowed to get away with anything his cult base will allow. Meaning he often acts illegally and/or against protocol, the damage is done, and then maybe, just maybe, the legal or democratic systems might react.
I agree with you that it seems like his main problem is that he may be moving too fast. He seems to have decided that he must move quickly, probably due to the inherent limitations of the election cycles and timing in the US. He has to make enough change prior to midterms, and prior to the next election, to lock in his power. If you consider his main motivation to be holding onto power, then everything seems to make sense. But in this case the American election cycles and timing, midterms and presidential elections, may actually be a saving grace, because he needs to make quick changes but if he moves too quickly he will provoke too much resistance. And another thing about Trump is that he is remarkably stupid when it comes to just about anything other than branding, so he may be unable to walk the fine line between change too fast and change too slow. And it may even be the case that with the American system set up as it is, that line doesn’t really exist.
Elections have never been cancelled in the US, and the midterms aren’t going to be the time they start.
There’s a lot of ______ never happened before going around in the US, in case you haven’t noticed.
At the risk of being long winded, I think most of the cheating will be geared towards the 2028 elections, and that is the one the president would be more likely to put off because the two term limit. If he is still cognizant, at some point his own people will shunt him aside perhaps. But he’s so out of it now the party can get him to do almost anything. They could even try to cancel social security at this rate.
They turned his America First on it’s head. The legacy of the president, such as it was, with the low information populations, is now tainted beyond recovery. We are more active abroad in adventurism than perhaps ever before. He wouldn’t have agreed to that if he was his 2020 self just out of self interest, but his mind is so far gone the party induced him to, by playing his emotions, holding his hand.
So whether the party wants to keep him a little longer as a puppet or not in defiance of the amendment forbidding more than two terms, may decide if they try to delay elections. They need a new leader at some point and vance isn’t it, so I suspect the elections will go forward.
But also I predict maybe fall 2027 there will be indictments to democratic officials, especially the front runners of the nomination (doing us a favor newsom will doom us all working off their republican light status quo campaigning, further right than Nixon, or GHW Bush.)
So federal investigations/prosecutions on democratic leaders, they will (continue to,) to interfere surreptitiously in democratic primaries and selections to ensure the weakest candidates are chosen, they will try and corrupt county level votes, statewide votes, the software used by those states, (that they have copies of and years to figure how to do it thanks to the 2020 bullshit, lindell gathered all the schematic bullshit for them.) Then if they control the congress they would just vote in their guy.
Plus voter suppression, taking people off of rolls in democratic districts. Then cancelling votes after the fact, signature matching type stuff. Other such ways of finding votes.
Worth another mention, many states gave their legislatures the ability to vote faithless electors in definance of the popular vote, GA for instance but a bunch. Texas I think removed that part from their voter bill they passed with the rest of the red states around 2021 on the furor of their failed election theft projections. So we have republican lawmakers with two avenues of cheating the popular vote. And the republican legislatures are cemented in with gerrymandering, only amendments giving the drawing of districts to independent bodies, as AZ, then MI did, the latter by voter sponsored referedum that passed with some 67 % in 2018.
Too much to really cover here, Bannon had his precinct level scheme after 2020, where they get their cheat friendly people in at county levels. Regardless everyone in the party not down with cheating has been purged. Plenty otherwise reasonably well intentioned people in their party that live in an alternate reality feel justified in their party cheating because they think the democrats are cheating, their cynical are nihilists.
Really I hoped the democrats would realize what we are up against, and find some loyalty, preventing the fixing of elections is their reason for being, the point of that oath they took. But they refuse to save the republic, seemingly oblivious but more likely they do not think it will hurt them, despite the fact that if they were involved in systematic cheating for years, they would have to be punished.
I think they want y’all to continue selling this fear for them so they can cheat again and say OH FIRST THERE WAS GOING TO BE NO ELECTION NOW WE CHEATED?!
Setting y’all up. (I get it, he said it, but it’s part of the theater)
Don’t forget that Russia has elections.
there is, barely anything meaningful will change, hence why schumer doesnt act very concerned about the elections.
25% of Americans are stupid psychopaths who don’t understand the consequences.
Oh i think the number is higher than that, it’s just levels of stupidity.
I think that’s exactly the point: the US regime wants to use these idiotic threats to show the population that their will counts for absolutely nothing anymore. It’s yet another attempt at intimidation by these ruthless criminals.
I don’t think they’re just posturing anymore…
The US president may be an asset to Russia, but he is first and foremost a puppet of the US elite, who really have nothing at all to gain from an attack on the EU - quite the contrary. So I consider this to be nothing but empty talk.
The orange child molester may have become completely megalomaniacal by now because he gets away with all his obvious crimes, but his masters are not and will not allow him to cost them hundreds of billions.
I cannot for the life of me see what the US elite would gain from an invasion of Greenland, but it is obvious that they would lose a great deal. The EU would be forced to side with China, and that would mean that the decline of the US would accelerate by decades. All the highly armed military machinery is irrelevant if the enemy has nuclear weapons. The Nazi regime in the US could be capable of starting a nuclear war of annihilation out of arrogance, but if you look at North Korea, it quickly becomes obvious that even completely detached, completely insane psychotic despots would not risk that.
They can gain resources.
Since when does this regime care about what its constituents think?
Election years. They are trying to put the fixes in but aren’t there yet. Look at 2020, they did all sorts of stuff they would never do in a non election year, like not totally fuck working people while giving all of our taxes to the rich. Instead giving some people a piece of a pittance as well.
So I should be leaving a steaming pile of poop on every fourth front porch in the US? This is depressing, I only have so much poop.
Even if you pooped on a new one every day for 80 years, you’d only hit 29,200 porches. Alas, the shortcomings of human poop production hit hard in times like these.
However, if each of the 75019230 people who voted for Kamala would instead start shitting on the porches of the 25% (~90 million people), y’all will be done in less than two days. Such is the power of organizing!
I may need to cut my poops into bite-size pieces. Gonna need a new poop knife.
Can we revoke citizenship and deport the other 25%?
no
What if Trump said it was ok?
Isn’t it kind of Trump’s way of doing business? That’s exactly where things are headed for people who stand up against him.
Deporting people you don’t like despite them being citizens? Sounds pretty cool to me /s
no
… to Mars
the sun, like in the simpsons. have a giant rocket
They would die sooner on a trip to Mars. It took the Parker solat probe years to get up near to the sun.
How about revoking citizenship and deporting the borguoise which is in power of this fascist regime - or even better, bring out the guillotine.
As usual the ~1/3 are totally on board for being an asshole.
Half of them, so ~1/6
No, they voted. They won’t “agree” but they’ll go along willingly.
