Summary: Republicans are 50/50, everyone else is strongly opposed.

      That means there has to be an overlap of millions of Americans who want this but still voted Trump. Does their stupidity know no bounds?

        There’s a metric fuckton of Americans who would resurrect Hitler and the entire 3rd Reich before they willingly voted for a woman… let alone a brown woman… it’s ridiculous.

          Which is why it is so strange to see the a female candidate pander to those voters. Plenty of stupidity to go around.

              The closeted ones may still vote for a woman just to say they aren’t part of the problem, like they did with Obama. But the candidate has to sell change, they aren’t going to vote for the same policies but advanced by someone who doesn’t look like them.

    Government leaders: don’t do it

    Business: don’t do it

    Academics: don’t do it

    All other countries and states in the world: don’t do it

    Trump: I’m gonna do it.

      It’s not only trump, that’s the sad thing. Trump is just a puppet, controlled by people behind the curtains. Look at this project 2025. There are plenty of powerful people who are pulling the strings of Trump and the next Republican candidate.

      Long gone are the days when politicians were actually working for their voters. Now it is all about social media propaganda. And guess what, making education unaffordable works wonders for those people. They don’t want rational human beings, they just want easy to control and manipulate sheep.

      It says “…Of Americans”, so the optimist in me says “25% of people didn’t know about or answer the poll.”

      Don’t atribute malice where stupidity fits. It’s quite probable that a sizable chunk of those 25% didn’t even understood the question.

    So. No one will talk about the 48% of Americans that are okay with abducting the President in charge of a sovereign country so rich Americans could snatch them away their oil?

    Yes, foreigners, if you go to the USA, apparently that’s a hot topic.

    25% of Americans are perfectly fine with the US just taking over independent countries. 75% oppose but only if they don’t have to do anything other than answer a poll.

      no, through decades of propaganda they have been conditions either to think nothing will happen or something will “EVENTUALly” put a stop to it. thats why the protests if you call it that are largely ineffective, only a small portion of people are doing it.

      As we’ve been seeing, mostly the latter.
      He’s already ripped apart the 1st, 2nd and 4th amendments at least and no one seems to care, not even the military, who are supposed to defend it.

        Few elected officials seem to care, but plenty of ordinary people are waking up to the fact that political power is not something you can give away in a vote, it’s something you have to take.

    It’s worth looking at the framing of this. CNN asked, “Would you (favor) or (oppose) the U.S. attempting to take control of Greenland?” A poll from 4 days early found, when specifically asked about taking over Greenland by force, found it was a 86% support, 9% oppose. [86% oppose, 9% support] (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/86-percent-in-new-poll-against-us-taking-greenland-by-force/ar-AA1Udv9k). (I was very tired when I wrote this. Most Americans are very, very tired right now.)

    Trump has made several bids to buy Greenland, and I think most of the support in this poll is for that option. I think the majority of Americans really don’t believe he’ll send the military to Greenland and destroy the NATO alliance. They think this is a negotiating tactic, and they are seriously mistaken.

        I don’t even need violence done to him.

        Take away all his money and power and make him walk around the country selling rotten eggs or tomatoes you get to throw at him. And that’s how he has to pay for his life from now on.

      They should do a poll how many wanna never see Trump’s ugly face again?

      Y’know after the douchebag stuck his mugshot on the “America the Beautiful” National Park pass, people selling stickers to cover his stupid ugly face raised $13,000 towards National Parks.

      So…that’s kinda a poll, and it sends a pretty stark message! :p

      The government said it could void the pass if people “deface” the cards by covering Dear Leader.

      Given that seeing his face is basically visual molestation, I can see why tons of people “who buy a pass every year” opted to not bother.

      So Iraq (twice), Afghanistan, Yemen, etc, etc, etc, etc those are all fine, but god forbid NATO?
      Weird… i’d be condemning all… but then again, the US is a capitalist war economy, line must go up i guess.
