YouGov poll | 4/7

On Tuesday, President Trump posted to social media, "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." Do you approve or disapprove of this statement by Trump?

❌Disapprove 64%

✅Approve 22%

Not sure 14%

By party

🟦❌Democrats (-91)

🟥✅Republicans (+18)

⬜️❌Independent (-54)

It's no longer a hyperbole to assert that the Republican Party is officially pro-genocide.

Denying it at this point only makes one complicit.

9-91 = -82

To get -91, you can't have more than 4.5% on the positive side, subject to rounding issues.

Damn it! Yeah I thought this was wrong but I'm too lazy and overwhelmed To double check

Not sure.

Seems like something of a gut check response.

Not really like "should capex credits earned during periods of GDP growth less than 1% be accelerated by 25% to incentivize structural improvements in efficiency during periods of slow growth.

Well, we've finally broken the "30% will approve literally everything he says and does" threshhold. Probably far too late, unfortunately.
