      I tend to think South Park undersold it when they said at least 1/4 Americans is the r-word. Its at least 1/3rd.

        I think it’s 31% according to the most recent poll.

      What bothers me more than the stupid, are the true believers who are otherwise intelligent. I know many of these people. Through some combination of religion/gullibility/stubbornness, they refuse to apply Occam’s Razor to anything that breaks their fragile little world view.

      Every cult member explaining why the media is so negative to Trump:

    In case you think that his approval rating is terrible… it’s still higher than like half of European heads of state. None of whom are anywhere close to his level of fascism.

      https://www.statista.com/statistics/1456852/world-leader-approval-ratings/

      Mohdi at 70% is crazy. Milei at 48%… Like yeah it’s less than half but still crazy high. Truml may only be 38% but it’s quite depressing that puts him roughly middle-of-the-pack.

      And like, sure I have some complaints with Macron, especially recently, but 18% seems wildly low.

      If these numbers are to be believed then people around the world sure do love their right-wing nutjobs.

    Pretty sure that’s the same percentage as it was when he took office.

      Presumably about 1 in 10. He won a 50/50 election by a small margin. Like almost all recent American presidents.
