an overall sense that the system, even under the man they voted for, just isn't working.

I have a worrying feeling that for these people, fixing the system doesn't mean anything like "kick all the billionaires out of politics, change the electoral system & senate to give people genuinely equal representation, and start arresting politicians who take bribes and make millions on insider trades".

A "restoration era" USA where all the damage is being fixed and institutions repaired like you describe would practically take some kind of temporary military dictatorship. Because it's not just the idiots in maga, you have all kinds of idiots who think this principle or this or that is important and everything has been gamed for decades by the plutocrats to only serve them. So everything is poisoned, everything needs to be changed, so you can't rely on any sensible majority or institution to work with you. That includes news media and journalists and the "freedom" of the press to serve as a voice for the plutocracy.

[-] k0e3@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 hours ago

Lol you've always been a humiliation, but now even the dummies are more aware.

[-] lemmelemmy@feddit.org 24 points 12 hours ago

So they’ve asked 10 people and made it an article. Good journalism.

[-] sunbeam60@feddit.uk 3 points 6 hours ago

Tbf beats 99% if the slop you read today.

[-] greedytacothief@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 14 hours ago

Lol focus group of 10 people.

[-] spaghettiwestern@sh.itjust.works 184 points 19 hours ago

But they'd vote for him again anyway!

That's glorious. This alone should be the foundation of a new religion.

I mean, the COMMUNIST Democrats are all just 100% trans people murdering BABIES left and right!!!!

/s

[-] Mertn33@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

The Democrats at least don't fzuck the babies after murdering them.

[-] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 7 points 16 hours ago

because they agree with the ideas, just not with the execution

[-] VinegarChunks@lemmus.org 2 points 3 hours ago

They agree with the policies, they just don’t like the results that those policies inevitably produce, and fail to ever connect cause and effect.

[-] dan1101@lemmy.world 13 points 19 hours ago

Sure they will, can't vote for a LIBERAL!

/s

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 13 points 18 hours ago

What's /s about that?

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Plenty of these clowns wanted a DeSantis or a Cruz and are more than happy to proclaim, "I only voted for Trump because Democrats Are Worse!"

It's the mirror image of the neoliberal ghoul who wanted President Pete Buttigieg or President Michael Bloomberg, but swallowed their pride and dutifully lined up for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 5 hours ago

or some conservatives dont vote at all, but you hear them bitching about DEMS on thier platforms, like they did.

[-] Fandangalo@lemmy.world 68 points 18 hours ago

Focus group of 10 people feels kinda meaningless.

Always been curious how effective focus groups are and what sample sizes would be considered representive of the general population.

[-] Brainsploosh@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

This is regularly answered by statisticians

[-] tempest@lemmy.ca 8 points 15 hours ago

What about a focus group of 10 large language models?

[-] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 0 points 7 hours ago

Assuming they are trained on datasets that do not control for this classification, and are derived from the product of more than ten individuals I think it’s safe to expect, unironically, that yes the results would be far more predictive.

[-] silentjohn@lemmy.ml 50 points 18 hours ago

The focus group included 10 people

Anybody believing that Trump voters think anything is worse is just silly.

[-] CaptainMan251@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Most Trump voters I know are actively sucking him off while he shits on their kids

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

there is a new opening since lindsey died.

[-] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

Or letting him shit on them while their kids suck him off

[-] silentjohn@lemmy.ml 3 points 12 hours ago

Trump voters will happily eat shit just on the chance that a Liberal smells their breath.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 5 hours ago

they prefers trumps diarrhea to normal shit.

[-] Steve@startrek.website 5 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Anybody believing that Trump voters think ~~anything is worse~~ is just silly.

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 14 hours ago

There are all traitors. Betrayed their country for a narcissist peddle rapist war criminal mafia boss traitor of the worst kind. Fuck them all.

[-] riskable@programming.dev 27 points 18 hours ago

Only one of the focus group members, a 24-year-old engineer from New York named Alvin, gave Trump a 5 out of 5, praising him for "trying to bring back manufacturing jobs" even though manufacturing growth has slowed.

So basically, only the delusional think he's doing a good job. I'd say this is like, "just my opinion, man" but no: That's literally what the focus group discovered! It's a fact.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 5 hours ago

and engineers were one of the first fields to suffer in covid too, with layoffs, somehow i dont they fully recovered from that.

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 3 points 12 hours ago

Have they stood in a corner and thought about what they've done?

[-] Astronut@lemmy.zip 27 points 20 hours ago

Willful ignorance didn’t pay off?

Pissing off us libs didn’t pay off?

Giving Lord Feltersnatch unlimited power didn’t pay off?

[-] Bumrocky@lemmy.world 8 points 17 hours ago

But they still think they're better off than voting for someone else. The stupidity is endless

[-] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

Thanks for adding the gift link, much appreciated.

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Perhaps because the NY Times is a shitty company that doesn't deserve our clicks? And is paywalled much of the time...

[-] skooma_king@piefed.social 4 points 16 hours ago

But to then post Raw Story? Bottom of the barrel

Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
