Alternative headline:
After 100 Days, 35% Of Americans Still Approve With What Elon Musk Is Doing to the Government!

Turns out, Trump is more popular than Musk, but all of these numbers are still amazingly high.
Turns out Americans are even dumber than I thought
I haven’t been able to come up with a good explanation yet. Previously, I thought it was just plain stupidity and ignorance. Now, I think it might have something to do with the way media manipulates the masses. Still not satisfied with my own explanation though. Is it the culture? Modern tribalism? Cognitive biases? Who knows.
Both MsM and social media, plus Russian backed trolls have helped conservatives
I had bet a couple of months ago that Elon would eventually be Trump's fall guy for this.
30% of Americans who weren't alive in the 1930s think we should have 1930s government and a 1930s economy.
I wonder if there are any studies done on how "they" got Americans in a state where they can be mislead to these unbelievable levels despite having access to open internet and everything.
They are watching people like j Peterson and Shapiro, and any of the nonfox propaganda news as their source
They're consuming propaganda like it's real news. They'd be more upset if they were living in reality.
Which is produced and disseminated by Russia of course. All their favorite grifters are paid by putin
