Nearly half of Americans don't understand that when an illegal and immoral tactic is used against someone you don't like, it can then be used against you too. Dumb fucking Americans.

So over half of Americans aren't concerned with accelerating authoritarianism? Great.
It's already affecting them personally, they've just been brainwashed into blaming the wrong people
A lot of Americans barely understand how the government actually functions.
If "nearly half" disprove that means more than half approve.
That's fucking disgusting.
There's always a good percentage that are indifferent or "don't know". But they're no help.
So basically the same outcome as the election. People haven't changed.
Per the article:
47% of U.S. adults disapprove of of deploying the Marines to LA, with 34% approval.
45% disapprove the National Guard deployment, while 38% said they approve.
That leaves 19% and 17% that are undecided. The question for those would be are they uninterested or uninformed?
These are some depressing numbers.
47% of U.S. adults disapprove of of deploying the Marines to LA, with 34% approval.
45% disapprove the National Guard deployment, while 38% said they approve.
... An equal share — 45% — also disapprove of the protests against ICE, per Monday YouGov polling.
36% said they approve of the protests, and 19% said they are not sure.
58% of Democrats said they approved of the anti-ICE protests, compared to 15% of Republicans.

I wonder how does it compare to previous iterations of large protests.
That's a lot of people who saw a reporter get shot and went "I'm cool with that".
I'm joking. Most of them probably aren't paying enough attention to have seen that.
Most Americans probably haven't even seen the video. The average person is unbelievably clueless. My friends Instagram reels is animated screaming cucumbers and more brain rot. 0 news, 0 information, just straight retardation. Each of our media spheres is individually tailored and that is a massive problem when it comes to getting people on the same page.
That percentage is insanely low. What is wrong with the fuckers that approve?
Less than the majority is depressing, but don't forget how the media is covering this. MAGA eats this shit up, obviously, but even your standard semi-informed people are getting "riots on the street of LA" bullshit on their local news outlets.
I'm actually a little surprised it's "almost half" in disapproval, given how badly this is covered. I wonder if TikTok and Bluesky are helping, the latter being obvious but the former being surprisingly good at showing what's actually happening on the ground-- at least a lot better than Meta and X options.
Yeah, also even though it's "almost half" there's more people saying disapprove than approve, so there's a large number in the "unsure" category right now, and the more we find out about who's being deported and how and what the cops will do to suppress these protests the more that disapprove number will go up
45% disapprove the National Guard deployment, while 38% said they approve.
So 38% are enemies of Constitution and country.
Anytime there's a poll, it's always the same 30-39% of shitheads liking the bad thing.
The Authoritarians- a book by Prof. Altmeyer- says there's about 1/3 of the population who are authoritarians and that percentage is pretty constant no matter what one does. SO it sounds about right
"nearly half" so over 50% of US adults are mentally challenged it seems
Well, remember George Carlin when he said something along the lines of "Think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half the population is dumber than that."
That means a majority approve or don't care. We're fucked
This country continues to depress me. It really should be way higher.
So more than half are okay with it or don't care about it.
Nothing has changed since the election.
Wow, we got ALMOST half of America to understand that it's bad when presidents send the military to threaten Americans.
That almost makes me think our inevitable decline as a nation will happen slower than I originally thought.
So a majority approves. Fuck this country.
There's something that needs to be done, and that something is drastic, and a lot of people don't want to hear, or see it. But we can't keep going forward as a country where more than half of people are violent sociopaths, or enablers of the latter.
Between 33% and 38% of Americans shouldn't be allowed to make decisions because they are incompetent or vile. That's how many have never wavered in their support of Trump.
But I am shocked here at the extra 12+% who aren't outraged by what's happening now. Is that the 11% of Libertarians? (https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2014/08/25/in-search-of-libertarians/)
Libertarians are just right wing fascists who don't like paying taxes
If a majority of Americans approve then the problem will not go away if Trump goes away.
The other half are as dumb as a bag of hammer.
That’s right. Just one hammer. With measles.
To be honest part of me wants his raids to spread to other cities, especially in middle America, so it hits home to more voters. Especially his wavering voters. Some people can only recognize something if they experience it first hand.
Only half?
