trump's people using ms paint to put "MS13" in typed letters on abrego garcia's knuckles is perhaps the stupidest lie they've ever attempted

Everyone’s gotta collectively meaner the more Trump is normalized in political culture and society, but I’m happy to be mean to fascists, because they deserve it.

It's sad, but you will quickly find that some people are just the natural enemies of Liberty, and you need to deal with them. Sometimes the Vendée needs to be put to the torch, and there's no way to avoid it.

I will use my vote and political activism to do things that will save their lives and livelihoods because I care more about helping the vulnerable than punishing the people responsible for it. I'll just be mean to them on the internet in the meantime.

I don't like the person that the Trump era has turned me into politically but ultimately I'm still doing a lot less harm than any of the people I hate so I guess I can cling to that.

Another pretty big move down in Trump's net approval today. He hits a new low (again) of -6.7 after pulling in net negative numbers from even his most friendly pollsters. Disapprove: 51.6% Approve: 44.9% www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data

-7 is before a recession hits, the tariffs are sitting at 35%-40% popularity depending on who you ask, so yeah, will probably be ugly.

So we’re just about -7 not even 100 days in while the admin spins out of control and tariff effects rapidly approaching. But sure he’ll have popular will to be a dictator with 0 mechanisms to do so We absolutely arent out of this, its only starting, but it’s changing rapidly

flashback to how americans acted the last time federal agents started kidnapping their neighbors

there are not 20 million undocumented people in the US total, certainly not 20 million just from the preceding four years. nobody actually believes this, including Vance, but nonetheless they want to deport >20m people

you aren't advancing Palestinian advocacy in the fucking slightest

do not fucking fall into the trap of arguing with your whole chest that firebombing the house of a jewish governor on pesach isn't necessarily antisemitic just fucking don't

this is bad, folks!

I guess my feelings are all three of the following: a) this is really bad b) this is definitely antisemitic c) what the fuck can you expect after wholeheartedly cosigning the annihilation of an entire region for two years while Israel proudly claims that it represents Jewish people writ large

Senator Cory Booker: "The truth is that right now, our nation is in crisis. The President has inflicted harm after harm on Americans’ safety, financial stability, the foundations of our democracy, and any sense of common decency." He's spot on. This administration is a nightmare.

So much needless suffering and stupidity

are they just going to keep walking back on the dependency graph

lol Commerce posted today that they’re looking into tariffs on the **machinery used to make semiconductors** This will just make it **harder** to make semiconductors in the US. It is so unbelievably stupid that I cannot put it into words.

Explain this to someone 20 years ago

"what the fuck is a resist lib"

i think he's just a committed libertarian who actually believes all that stuff. this put him center- or far-right in 2004-ish but refusing to follow the party makes him currently libertarian-left but bad about abortion

"in 2025, Bill Kristol is to the left of the PA Senator on Palestine protestors and and Drudge is a resist lib"

Remember how Donald Trump Jr. and Elon Musk joked about the hammer attack targeting Nancy Pelosi? The guy who firebombed Gov Shapiro's house was also going to hammer him to death. This is who and what MAGA is encouraging.

no, the missile does that for him

great day to have to teach lol

People are learning/remembering why we made him a one-term president in the first place.

This 29 point swing of young people against Trump seems like a pretty definitive refutation of the idea that American youth have made a hard ideological turn to the right

The swings in Gen Z opinion have to be differential response bias, right? Because that is a lot of noise. It does look like there was an awful lot of bandwagoning going on though.

Shifts across the board in net favorables, but nowhere more so than among voters 18-29. A reminder that coalitions can be fickle objects and that thermostatic politics still is a thing.

Gen Z Millennials 🤝 The entire economy collapsing right as you graduate college and start your adult life meaning that you will never be able to build wealth like your parents and grandparents

I am very skeptical of surveys in this era, but I won't disagree that we may have a substantial challenge with intelligence in younger generations on account of homeschooling, charter schools and so forth

Gonna hide this post because the quote tweets are incredibly annoying. But these are likely not “accurate” in any real sense. There snap shots, not the same respondents. They largely show the same thing, he’s unpopular except gen x. thats more important than trying to examine of gen z opinion.

my generation shifting 34 points in 3 months is so embarrassing. we're "open minded" in the sense that our minds are completely empty

Boomers trying to repent before it’s all over. Gen X facing down their mortality, not liking what they see, and making the rest of us pay for it. Millennials embraced nihilism decades ago, and never looked back. Social media rotted Gen Z’s brains.

Huh. It's like everyone who uses social media got red pilled around the same time in Q4 2024 and the size of the effect is proportional to how online they are. I have so many questions

Gen Z displaying the FAFO curve.

gen x really fucking up though.

as you can see by the dropoff being the biggest of the four graphs. I think it was sort of a shock to their systems that it can get worse. This is when they actually start forming their political identities.

Trump is obviously different than Ron Paul was. RP truly sucked but in ways you could put in a suit. Trump basically tells everyone that he's awful and that he hates you but I'm just saying these wild swings in gen Z support make total sense to me.

you can "gen Z is more right wing than millenials" all you want but as a 20-year-old I thought Ron Paul was cool because I wanted to break everything but I was pro-immigration, pro-taxes, and pro-LGBT (though I hadn't come out yet). I was also one other thing: a complete moron

The world’s being run by rich white 70-somethings on behalf of rich white 50-somethings, which is bad news for everyone I can think of—except the baseball industry, actually.

Gen X breaks my heart, once again. I can’t even bring myself to make a joke about drinking from the hose.

“Hey y’all were like 9 years old but he said a judge presiding over his fraudulent university case couldn’t be impartial because his parents were Mexican and bragged about grabbing women’s genitals because ‘they just let you when you’re famous.’”

Everyone is rightly shitting on Gen X here but that oct/nov spike from the Zoomers is really funny because it’s entirely attributable to them being too young to remember his 2016 campaign. Harris camp failed miserably by not promoting the “grab her by the pussy” tape in their attack ads.

All that, and a fucked education career. (Again, pandemic.) But I think a lack of literacy, a lack of connection over history, and a general lack of American care for anyone but themselves is all mixed in there to. (5/5)
