Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

"Nearly half"
"opinions split along party lines"
So the Republicans are still bootlicking fascism. Nothing has changed. There's no mass outcry from people who just now realized it.
It's the same 'nearly half' of the country that's sane.
Even if there was, it wouldn't stop what's happening. The current administration gives no fucks about public opinion. If they did they wouldn't have repeatedly lied in their campaign nor would they be following the largely unpopular Project 2025

What we can do about it is start forming mutual aid networks and unions. These will help us form a cohesive front against the fast forming authoritarian government that's being installed.
If anyone wants resources to learn more about this you can find a rough draft here.

If they didnt care about public opinion, they wouldn't have lied.
If they didn't care about public opinion, they wouldn't be pressuring media to squash knowledge of it so hard.
They cared about it in order to get a position of power. Now that they have it they don't care.
I don't think public opinion is going to change the current process at large within the administration. I do however think that public opinion will encourage other departments to stand up to this bullshit.

Republicans don’t give a shit about public opinion
They lie to get in power. Then when they’re in power they do whatever the hell they want.
See “Idk about pwaject 2025 👉👈” To “PROJECT 2025 BITCHES LETS GO!”
The only thing thats stopping Musk at this point is an insane leftist with too many drones and etch-a-sketches laying around.
Build me the mind palace that makes this make sense. I am intrigued
Nearly half is closer than what the presidential elections were... So, progress?
You have found the tinfoil lining in this cloud. You're right though, progress is progress.
