a New York Times/Siena College poll of registered voters on Friday found that Trump’s approval rating is 42%, and just 29% among independent voters. More than half of voters said Trump is “exceeding the powers available to him”, and 59% of respondents said the president’s second term has been “scary”

    It’s really weird to know that when one man dies, the world will get significantly better for billions of other people.

    Can you imagine how paranoid you’d be if you were that man ?

        It won’t have the same pilot. So while the machine won’t stop, it’ll have a harder time running over everything. Then is the best time to disable and dismantle it. (Regarding the death of the head fascist, specifically)

        Yeah, as Americans we’re very fixated on our particular fascist - but there’s still Erdoğan, Lukashenko, Orban, Bukele, Putin…

          Have you looked at his doctor’s notes, motherfucker was probably on whatever the doctor could get his hands on possibly including random shit he found under the sink. Steroids, meth, aspirin mixed together with a shot of Jack Daniels wouldnt even phase Hitler at the end.

      Main problem with the biggest nations is that they are ruled by old men that know they are going to die soon anyway.

      China, Russia, US all have old leaders who try to write their name in history books by any means necessary. They do not fear death, since they know it’s not far whatever they do.

      In most countries nations have a lower limit of age that a leader must be, they also should have an upper limit.

        and the upper limit should be whatever “must live with the consequences of their actions” amounts to rather than some arbitrary retirement line

      It’s not just Trump. Trump could die tomorrow and nothing would change because American billionaires still want to see the collapse of the west so they can mould it into their vision of techo-feudalism.

      Trump dying would just mean JD Vance gets in and he would carry on with the same goal but with slightly more coherence. The USA needs to be torn down and rebuilt from the ground up

        Nah, MAGA is a cult of personality, and when he dies, MAGA will inevitably die, too. They’ll try to keep it alive, but the loyalty was 100% to Trump, and there is no viable second choice, no matter how much they delude themselves that they will be the chosen successor.

        When HitlerPig assumes room temperature, the knives will come out, and Vance, Jr, Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller, Steve "Unwiped Asshole"Bannon, Josh “Running Man” Hawley, Chuck “Get Off My” Grassley, Marjorie “Battletoad” Greene, and a thousand others will compete in a Battle Royale that will be fun to watch.

          No.

          The hate was always there, the racism is marrow deep for most of them.

          When they say ‘Make America Great Again’, they mean 2 eras:

          1. The 1950s when women and Browns knew their placd

          2. The 1850s, when they were originally taught their place.

            I’m not saying Racism will die with HitlerPig, but MAGA will.

            There was a time when the KKK was a major political force in America, and they eventually decreased in influence, and went underground. The only difference is that MAGA has become the ruling political philosophy of the nation, something that the KKK never achieved, and we should endeavor to completely purge it from society. The activist racists are going to have to start all over, and find a new vehicle for their hate.

              The KKK never achieved it openly but Woodrow “Screens birth of a nation at the Whitehouse” Wilson was pretty damned close.

              Also did you know that the KKK had an MLM during the 1920s, it was considered weird even then.

      Enough to start the process of eliminating the second amendment. I would imagine he has floated that a couple of times.
