Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

2/3rds of this country are absolutely just fucking assholes.
Falls in line with two thirds of the country being okay with Trump being president.
I think the framing of "criminal illegal immigrants" fucks with that data.
In every poll I've seen asking about how Trump's immigrant genocide is going, the numbers are far lower. Still far too high, but far lower.
The word "criminal" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. I would expect local law enforcement to arrest criminals. I would then expect them to be deported. It doesn't mean people want local police to help ICE with their terrorist bullshit.
If they could stick with that, then it'd be a good*-sounding* idea -- who doesn't want to deport criminals who immigrated from somewhere else to be violent?
Sadly they're as incompetent as they are violent, and they can't even deliver on that since they don't even know the how of due process; or the why. It's a "best I can do is gestapo" kind of situation. And for that, they need a Nuremberg. And lots of rope.
Really hoping for a Nuremberg. I've got rope to donate to the cause.
And stupid

I didn't see that statement in the article, where are you getting 67% from?
From the original poll itself that the article linked to.

I read this in the original article:
And I wanted to know what policies were supported.
Huh. I see that now. I live in the SF Bay Area and it's kind of a bubble here but some of those poll numbers are hard to believe. I'd be curious to know how their polling was conducted, I didn't see any info on that. Maybe the rest of the country really is that fucked up, idk.
That's the only bit on methodology I saw in there, which isn't much at all.
Ah ok. Good to know, thanks.
