Two-thirds of Americans say that the country is “pretty seriously off on the wrong track,” while just under a third say the country is moving in the right direction, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel.
Overall, Americans seem unhappy and anxious, with a slim majority saying the economy has gotten worse since President Donald Trump took office and majorities saying that both major parties and the president are out of touch. A majority of Americans are also growing increasingly concerned over the government shutdown.
If the last 10 years have proven anything, it’s that Americans are REEEEEEAAAAALLY fucking stupid.
Whether the majority of America disapproves of this fascist or not, it’s a nation of dimwits and we’re going to keep voting against ourselves. It’s why we’re here to begin with. Trump didn’t make any of this happen. He’s a fucking idiot. We did it to ourselves, because too many of us are beyond stupid.
Sorry for being a downer, but I expect this ship to keep sinking for the remainder of my life. I’ve seen too much stupid to believe otherwise.
70% literacy rate or so. But I also quit giving a shit, America is done.
I’ve stopped caring, since the planet is boiling anyway.
America has Dorian Grey’d itself, and now the painting is dumping all the trauma back. The world isn’t far behind.
Personally I think Americans aren’t dumb as much as they’re addicted to rage. Since Nixon, rage has been the greatest commodity a presidential candidate can have.
At this point I think we were right to say Trump winning 2024 was an existential threat, for 1/3 of us at least. The other 1/3 was right to say Biden was an existential threat to them. At this point I’m not sure we can have a country when 1/3 of us are convinced that the existence of the other 1/3 is an existential threat.
Like we’ve lost losers consent. We can’t run a country when losers won’t accept the loss, and frankly I think it’s legitimate to take that stance.
