Does this mean if you talk to an Amerian it a coin toss whether they are a Nazi or not? Jesus wtf is this timeline
Pretty much. I've never been more disappointed in my fellow Americans than over the last few months.
Both the apathy, and the actual Nazis running around.
Most of the folk I know of that are out of the loop think I'm exaggerating.
honestly some are just uninformed. millions didn't know joe Biden had dropped out of the race!
also hard to say what percent are fox news brainwashed, and what are truely Nazi.
It's rare to run into an American Nazi since Nazis are socialists.
To address the down votes, Nazi meant National Socialist Party of Germany.
MAGAs will strongly avoid being referred to as socialist.
I personally don't they removed any inequality, unless you mean in the most extreme description.
"First they came for the socialists..."
Socialists that lean into racism and dictatorships.
All I'm saying is it's semantics.
I'm just calling them Republican.
You have actually no clue what any of the words you just used mean...
Nazis go after socialists
I'm fully aware what the words mean and that actual socialism was far, far away from the goals of that party. The Nazi party used the word socialist in their name to get people's attention. Fascism cannot coexist with socialism.
My point is that you aren't going to get the average American MAGA to say they are Nazis. It's not because of the genocide, but because they don't want to be considered socialists.
https://www.britannica.com/story/were-the-nazis-socialists. <-The answer is definitely NO, but explains the use of language to deceive the populace.
This poll is from 2019, but I would experct more than 69% of Republicans would reject the idea of socialism now. After all, isn't that the point of cutting all these social services? https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2019/10/07/in-their-own-words-behind-americans-views-of-socialism-and-capitalism/
Americans turn a blind eye on their own genocide. We were taught that the cowboys were the good guys and that 'Indians' were stupid killers (except for maybe some of the good ones). We had a mission from God to expand. The trail of tears and other atrocities are hardly mentioned.
Americans knew about the persecution of Jewish and other people, but didn't act until Pearl Harbor.
So, my point is that MAGA is the new Nazi, but you can't say Nazi because Nazis are socialists and socialism is unamerican.
My point is that you aren’t going to get the average American MAGA to say they are Nazis.
Who cares what most of them admit to? They won't even admit that all their psychobabble about "DEI" is just because they cannot get away with shouting the n-word in polite company.
Calling them racists gets their dander up, even though so many of them clearly are.
My only point was that Nazi as a label applies to a terrible fascist regime that convinced a country that their Jewish population was the source of their troubles and had brutally murdered millions.
MAGAs are a terrible fascist regime that has so far convinced a country that their immigrant population is the source of their troubles. They are using Capitalism as their tool. Eventually they may end up at the same place, but the American ego will reject being a socialist faster than being a Nazi.
To address the down votes, Nazi meant National Socialist Party of Germany.

FFS
Look, just because they called themselves socialists for votes doesn't mean that they were actually socialists.

I have a hard time explainin MY political views when people tell me that Nazis were socialists too.
Fuck off with these consent-manufacturing poll-fraudsters trying to attribute the decline to "the economy" and not "turning the US into a goddamned dictatorship."
On the one hand yes, I agree that's the worst part, on the other hand polling is an actual data science. Legit polling organizations don't just pull shit out of nowhere. If they say "due to the economy" they mean there is a correlation between people with a negative attitude towards Trump and people who say their biggest concern is the economy. And this makes sense because let's be honest, most Democrats already dislike him for other reasons, so the people who are just NOW changing their opinion on him are likely to be for money reasons since that's the current thing going on.
I did some digging to try to figure out the poll methodology, because I was planning to claim something to the effect of "but if the poll doesn't have a category for democratic backsliding, then it will be skewed to attribute the opinions to other causes instead."
That's what I would have written, except I found the actual poll results and it turns out it does have such a category. That's the good news for Reuters' credibility re: their headline.
The bad news is that "economy, unemployment and jobs" only barely edges out "political extremism or threats to democracy" among all Americans by a single measly percentage point (i.e. within the poll margin of error -- a statistical tie), and even then only because Republicans unsurprisingly don't care about the latter. Meanwhile, political extremism is the bigger factor among both Democrats and independents (i.e. everybody else).
By implying that the entire reason for the approval rating change is the economy and failing to mention political extremism at all, this Reuters article is blatant spin and erasure of that factor. The Reuters/Ipsos polling people might be "legit," but the reporting of it is absolutely normalizing and manufacturing consent for Trump's nascent dictatorship.
Without knowing more about their usual procedures regarding what they state is the "biggest" issue reported by those they've polled and whether they are writing the article how they normally would I cannot agree whether they are intentionally trying to normalize anything, so we'll have to agree to disagree.
Oh it's the economy is it? That's the biggest problem with Trump?
It's not about him undermining democracy from day 1?
Or the fact that he is internationally despised for his incompetence and acting like an elephant in a China store.
There were lots of warnings that Trumps policies would hurt the economy. If you voted for Trump, you got exactly what you voted for!!!
51% disapprove and 44% of approve. It is kinda crazy that we only have 5% left who still just aren't concerned one way or another.
Give it another month and his approval rating will be 30% or less.
Give it another month and there won't be independent surveys
At that point Congress is either dissolved by Trump or Congress impeaches Trump.
Trump wants to surpass Nixon
I'm sorry, a week ago I was told by CBS and the poster of the article that 53% approved of Trump and called him Energetic and tough. The poster said that we can't deny that the majority of people approve of all that Trump is doing. Now we see that actually his approval is much lower just like I was saying a week ago? That almost all of the approval rating polls show his approval as somewhere in the mid 40s which is significantly less than that CBS poll?
Huh. Maybe CBS was just trying to avoid the 20 Billion dollar lawsuit.
I think that's a $20 Billion lawsuit, not million.
Thanks for pointing that out! Fixed it.
I find it pretty worrying that he has an approval rating that can still drop. I would have thought he would have reached 0 by now. The fact that the approval is over 40% is just mind boggling.
Check out the approval ratings of Nixon even as he announced his resignation.
As if the vast majority of Americans even understand a percent of what goes into any economy.
They just don’t understand the ways of our glorious leader. /s
Shame?
