That’s part of it. The other part is there seems to be a looooot of local activation for data centers, flock cameras, and book bans. On a local level people are turning out to scream at their local officials, at a level I have never seen. I may be an optimist, but the American people seem to be more plugged in. The sky high gas rates for a pointless war of choice isn’t helping his cause any either. Don’t get me wrong the ICE stuff is a goddamn travesty, but there’s so much other bull shit going on too that we seem to have a lot of really strange coalitions forming these days.

Yeah the polls are as biased as our media. I don’t trust them either. What I do trust is all of the local activation I have been seeing. It’s one thing to lie to a pollster from the couch, it’s another to physically show up at your local city council meeting. I have been seeing a lot of latter, ngl.

Then what are you asking for? Americans are protesting, in record numbers in fact. They’re going to their local town halls and screaming at their representatives. Some cowards are ditching their public but people are going after them. The DSA has made incredible progress organizing their ground game. People are literally cutting down cameras. What is it that makes you think any of this is popular? What else should we be doing?

What are you trying to say? That in a historical context his current level of support is insanely low and should be higher?

I'll say it again: his current level of support is insanely high. Given his performance, it should be much lower.

Republicans and Democrats have angered people to such an extent that we might get a dozen socialists elected this year.

Here’s hoping!

I agree that the rise of the far right is a global phenomenon, but that doesn't mean that it isn't a problem in the United States and certainly doesn't mean that the problems in the United States, of which the rise of the far right is just one, are not bigger than Trump's behaviour and authority.
