So 3 out of 10 are considered traitors?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 23 hours ago

3/10 of our neighbors want a dictatorship.

Good to know they'll be outnumbered when we have to shoot them.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Lmao. Great way to normalize ignoring your constitution.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

It’s always that 30% of people who are just the worst and dragging the rest of the species down…

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or as Trumps puts it:

"Everyone wants me to. They all say what a great idea it would be. They say 'sir..sir...we need you.' Tears streaming down their faces, 'sir please...only you have the ability to make us great again. Tremendous ability, they say. Probably the most tremendous ever if I'm being honest."

@Adderbox76 A pure narcissist speaking

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

There's no need for a third term if the second term goes forever and never ends.

Just sayin'.....

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Only 70% of Americans can be bothered to give a fuck about the most basic, non-debatable aspect of our Constitution.

Yeah, we're fucked.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, the headline should be reversed so as not to bury the lede. A full 30% of Americans want to throw out the constitutional guardrails and basic limitations on power that keep us a republic and not an autocracy. That's a terrifying figure.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

30% of those interviewed that responded to the poll with usable data.

Lies, damned lies and statistics

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago (3 children)

So 3/10 want him to run for a third term?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The 3/10s of the population that voted and won

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yup. The non-voters had a choice between boring corporatists and 100% concentrated evil and felt "sending a message" was more important.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Nah most of them just don't give a shit or know what the hell is going on. As long as they have their Netflix and fast food slop they're good.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

3 of 10? Sounds like a majority by Trumpy/Republican math.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Yeah, that should have been the headline.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My god, why are we even entertaining this?

He CANNOT have a third term.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Legally, or physically?

Ceasers army also can’t cross the rubicon

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Three of those people are below average in intelligence and the forth can't be bothered to vote (fuck you most of all).

Everyone else congratulate yourselves for having a somewhat functioning brain. Unlike MAGAts, who shouldn't be allowed to operate vehicles in public or even run side-of-the-road fruit stands. At least the swastikas, I mean red hats, make it easy to point them out...

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm rather hoping he strokes out before the end of this one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My concern with this is the fact that if he does... they'll throw a shit fit and say Couchfucker McGuyliner deserves four full years and elections will be postponed to allow that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago

IIRC, there is actually already a law on how that is supposed to play out.

[–] [email protected] 148 points 2 days ago (3 children)

The fact people are even talking about this, means we are so fucked.

[–] [email protected] 89 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The media has blatantly enabled this MFer for years by doing the whole ‘people are saying’ BS. Just STOP. Don’t repeat it. State that it’s illegal and impossible, and would be unconstitutional, and then stop.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yup. When you "both sides" insanity, you normalize it.

They've already normalised the idea enough that they're polling people about whether or not it should happen as if it's a totally valid question to ask. That shouldn't even be a question, the only response should be "no, fuck off, you can't do that". Once again the media are complicit in sanewashing and normalising this shit.

I can't believe 3 in 10 want him to overthrow the constitution. We're a deeply unserious nation.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I think they're serious.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 1 day ago (8 children)

7 in 10 don't want him to run. That means 3 in 10 do want him to run. There is that 30% of fucking morons who want Trump forever.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

Trump received ~32% votes of eligible voters in the 2024 US General. So that statistic is pretty on the mark

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Insane regardless, but the 3/10 also includes people without an opinion. Depending on how it's worded, it could even include people who are only OK with it if it's legal, or something like that, which it isn't.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago

Yeah, that was the first thing I noticed too. 30% of voters actually want a god-king.

The constitution is like the bible for conservatives: keep the parts you like and throw out the rest.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

The constitution is like the bible for conservatives: Cant be bothered to read it, gladly accepts someone else's interpretation.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago

The fact that it isn't 10/10 people disgusts me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

My grandmother who has a Trump cutout unironically does not want him to run again. She says he's had a good run but is too old now let alone in 3 years.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I bet every one of the three in ten have at some point called themselves a constitutionalist.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

I saw a Youtube comment the other day calling for Trump to throw away the constitution, declare himself king and execute judges who don't enact his will. It had likes.

I mean... it's probably Russian bots? Right?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

Yes, it is 100% Russian bot glazing, but that is how propaganda works, some people see all tge bot activity and jump on board.

Biggest Russian troll farm employs over 60,000 people to run tens of accounts at a time.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

Honestly it probably is. That’s the whole Russian method, sow dissent and make the other side hate and distrust each other. Find every division you can and build the “other” into an evil bogeyman. Of course the fact that the literal nazis have seen this as an opportunity gives it a grain of truth and there is always someone who really believes that.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

According to the constitution, the punishment for traitors is execution

7 in 10!? It needs to be 11 out of 10!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Libertarians right now with the "tread on me harder daddy" flag hanging on the wall, all that 2nd amendment for show.

Those last three should be shot

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

We should have just not worn masks. These are the geriatric dumbasses that were begging to die during covid.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Link to the data if you didn’t make it to the bottom

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This should be 10 out of 10 people. I’m not even American and I know more about American and their constitution than most Americans it seems.

That fat orange Russian muppet should be in jail, not president.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

The constitution was ment to be rewritten and adjusted, because times are changing. Even these slave keeping cunts knew that. So i don't think pointing at the constitution should mean too much. But it is hilarious that just suggesting that the 2nd amendment could maybe not be the best idea, makes the same people frothing out of their pie holes who also want to overthrow the government and keep the fattest most incompetent person in charge.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

Once again, we see that fucking 30ish% baseline of psychopaths. This timeline fucking sucks.
