Forced to admit..

Not interested in stupid shit like that
 
This is an issue that minus the rabid minority, most everyday people see eye to eye on. I think right now will be tough for the GOP in the midterms but if this issue continues and LA spreads to more cities the left may be snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

That is one version of alternate facts...but actual facts show differently

I apologize in advance for ruining your "personal facts!"



🇺🇸 National Job Approval​


  • AP‑NORC (June 5–9, 2025): Trump’s approval stands at 39%, disapproval at 60%—his lowest since taking office in January (politico.com).
  • Quinnipiac (June 5–9): 38% approve vs. 54% disapprove, with issue-based approval especially weak on immigration (43%) and the economy (40%) (politico.com).
  • Forbes summary (June 9): Confirms a 38% approval rating (forbes.com).



🏛 Aggregated Polls (from Wikipedia)​


As of June 11, 2025, averages from RealClearPolitics, Silver Bulletin, Race to the White House, and VoteHub show:





📰 Issue-Specific & Global Sentiment​


  • Military Parade (June 12): 40% approve of Trump’s parade; 60% see it as misuse of funds (politico.com).
  • Global Opinion (Pew, 24 countries): Trump seen internationally as “strong” (67%) but also “arrogant” (80%) and “dangerous” (65%); only about one-third trust him with global affairs (axios.com).



🎯 What It All Means​


Trump faces consistent low-to-mid 40s support, with a clear 80–60 leads in disapproval. Trends indicate particular weakness on issues like the economy and immigration. Globally, perceptions are increasingly negative, emphasizing a growing credibility gap beyond U.S. borders.

Law abiding people want to see the law enforced. Law breakers do not.

But enforcing laws that the far left don't like right this moment = Nazi/fascist/gestapo. Now you know why the Soros-funded judges in blue cities keep releasing violent criminals with little or no bail. Once convicted, they are released back into the communities they terrorize with little more than short term probation. To protect the community by taking them off the street = Nazi/fascist/gestapo. Screw those law abiding community members! They aren't the oppressed ones, the criminals are!

Seriously, I see about no possible discussion with almost all of the right - where I see only parroting from brainwashing. It is a reminder that totalitarianism is invisible to many people if they aren't the targets. The blindness to see money corrupting our courts coming from George Soros rather than the actual billions from far-right and industry interests is breathtaking, matching 'the Holocaust was a crime by Jews'.

I don't normally dismiss poll results outright, but this is one result that might be just impossible to know with any certainty. I'm not saying that the polling number is fake or anything like that, but there are several reasons I can think of that might explain why immigrants being polled by strangers in a nation they've probably fairly recently become citizens of would express support for Trump on immigration.

One reason that immediately comes to mind is that they feel that the surge in mass migration is making all immigrants (i.e., them) look bad. They don't like all the negative attention focused on immigrants and wish someone would just make that problem go away, and Trump has vowed to do just that.

Also, immigration and naturalization is a long and expensive process. They probably felt like allowing asylum seekers to just apply for asylum is like cutting in line. They think it's unfair, and they probably feel that Democrats have bent over backward to curry favor with certain populations that immigration policy has become politicized by them just as much as it has by MAGA, but in the other direction.

The other possibility is that they're afraid to answer poll questions truthfully. They don't trust random strangers calling them and asking them questions about their privately-held opinions. It's something they probably haven't experienced much in their native countries, if at all.

Thats all true. But we did have a poll just a few months ago where Latino support for Trump helped him win the election.
