Nearly a third of Americans – 30% – say people may have to resort to violence in order to get the country back on track, according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll.

It’s a sharp rise from 18 months ago, when 19% of Americans said the same.

    Sounds delusional to me… if we outnumber them 10 to 1 why the fuck is a republican sitting on the highest seat in the country? Everyone just sat out the vote??? Okay. Then what the fuck do you expect them to do to republicans if they can’t even vote?

      Idiots got tired of not being allowed to be racist.

      Harris was thoroughly unappealing to many, and the Democrats were masterfully outmaneuvered by the Republicans seeding shit about Gaza and rallying minorities against her.

      In swing states there was definitely vote manipulation. You had Musk offering to pay people to vote.

      I would say after the outcome of Project 2025, he’s finally pissed off minorities and farmers, and business owners, now he’s working on the military.

      Now he’s threatening to send the US military in against cities.

      I think the only one delusional here is you. votes will tell eventually.

        You left out that we had years of dems talking about DACA but harris/biden tried to triangulate on immigration leading to latinos not voting in many places.

          That’s what I used to think too.

          Then, around Trump’s first campaign, I talked to plenty of Latinos that voted Republican. They didn’t generally give a fuck about immigration. They were quite happy for the borders to be shut down, where they came from, everything was very fuck you, I got mine. They’re more than happy to pull the ladders up now that they’re over here with their family to limit competition for those job sectors.

          They also vote Republican based on entrepreneurial and business wants. They either start small companies or work for small companies. And they see it as very much in their interest for those companies to prosper.

          I kind of suspect at this point that they’d be a bit apprehensive to vote Republican with all the Gestapo bullshit going on, still, but I haven’t had any political talks with Latinos since Trump’s first campaign. It’s honestly hard to tell.

            Those are not the people that didn’t vote afaik. Immigrants from mexico, central and south america tend to be more catholic and conservative. (Which is why its always actually been about racism) its generally younger latinos that will vote democrat but like all younger voters its more about turnout.

        Okay but without any sort of investigation or evidence this is just a tweet of a crazy rich person… which by the way if we start taking every one of this cunts tweets as fact then I guess that cave diver that saved all those people was actually a pedophile and I also suppose you believe we will colonize mars by 2030? Or that Neuralink can cure all diseases?

      I know I’m outnumbered by conservatives in my area. And, while they might not voluntarily admit to bigotry, they do strongly believe in a hierarchy of power, and that failing to be obedient to a higher authority is justification for any punishment you (not them!) receive. They also believe that the laws should reflect “Biblical” teachings and that “The Church” (their church, not those Catholic “idol worshipers”) should be involved in health care, education, and the work place not just reflected in the laws.

      They also tend to own guns and know how to use them, but that somewhat depends on their income. It’s an outsized spend, but when you are on food stamps, you aren’t also stockpiling ammo or acquiring more guns.

      Everyone just sat out the vote???

      Basically, yeah. Because they didn’t want to vote for the red genocide supporter, and they didn’t want to vote for the blue genocide supporter; because no matter what, they’re voting for genocide.

      I mean, in reality, most people right now in the US are just upset that US foreign policy has finally reach US shores.

        Sweet cherry picking bro. The comment as a whole responds to another whole comment, and here you are taking 5 words and making a whole reply about it. I’m sure Harris wanted to build concentration camps and strip the entire country of their rights, and tariff every country with a name too. You’re right, they’re both so bad you might as well just let Jesus take the wheel.

          If she was so worried about Trump, why didnt she vocally oppose the US supporting genocide abroad?

          So, yes, she wanted concentration camps. Did you think she was going to shut down the ones Obama opened on our southern border, or did you think they magically disappeared once Biden got elected?

          Remember, she’s the “top cop” and cops love oppressing the working class.

      Because they stole the source code to the election machines in 2020 and modified the software to cheat the 2024 election, subverting the will of the people.

        If you can’t prove it or enforce it, it doesn’t really matter. Otherwise you sound just like them the first time Trump lost.
