New poll reveals Republicans are authoritarian curious, while Americans are starkly divided on Trump’s 2020 guilt
The Joe Biden presidential campaign is positioning the 2024 election as a referendum on democracy. But a new poll suggests that defending America’s constitutional system of checks and balances is no longer an electoral slam dunk.
A startling 39 percent of Americans, including 74 percent of Republicans, think it’s a decent idea for Donald Trump to act as a dictator for a day to begin his prospective second term, according to a University of Massachusetts Amherst survey released Wednesday.
Man it’s so sad to see that I can’t tell what percentage of these people are just trying to meme. I would hope that it’s only a minority of these people who truly think this is a good idea. But man are his supporters filled with idiots
Even if they are just trying to “meme” - it doesn’t matter. They support this fascist asshole, even if only to “own the libs” and they think it’s all ironic and fun or something. Won’t matter why they voted if they put this idiot in the WH.
I’m sure even when it’s their turn up against the wall - and usually, things like this tend to backfire on a lot of people - even then, they won’t realize their mistake, I bet.
Nah, they’re not meming. They hate what they think the U.S. has become/is becoming under (small d) democratic rule. They know that in a fair democracy, the Republican party would lose all federal power in a decade or so. So, they want to destroy democracy, and try to roll things back.
