A majority of Americans say President Trump is a “dangerous dictator” who poses a threat to democracy and believe he’s overstepped his authority by actions such as the mass firing of federal employees, a new survey says.

The wide-ranging poll released Tuesday, on Trump’s 100th day in office, is the latest sign of him losing support for his immigration and economic policies — the two issues that largely fueled his election.

    I think your original estimate is correct, but the problem is that they’ve captured enough media outlets that sow doubt about right-wingers’ true natures to make another 20-30% just uncertain enough to vote for the nazis.

    Agree with your remediation, though. Confederates, Nazis, and J6ers are enemies of the state and should be forever barred from holding public office.

      It’s a ton of the media really, not ‘just enough’ afaict. So much reporting from all the US mainstream media treats everything he says with kid gloves. If he invaded canada tomorrow the headline on CNN would be something like “US military deployed in proactive peacekeeping mission to the north”.
