The Polls Are Clear. Americans Don't Want This.
When Donald Trump won re-election in 2024, there was one campaign pledge that voters across the political spectrum felt the most confident he’d make good on: controlling illegal immigration and making the country safer. About 55 percent of Americans approved of Mr. Trump’s approach to immigration upon his return to the White House, my polling found.
One year later, however, the public’s assessment has turned negative, having flipped to 55 percent disapproval in my own most recent polling, whose dates included last Saturday, the day Alex Pretti was killed by federal border agents in Minneapolis.
Driving this is Americans’ belief that Mr. Trump’s policies are not delivering on the safety and security he promised — in fact, now quite the opposite. On one side of the ledger, there is a decreasing sense that roundups and deportations by federal agents are focused on true security threats. On the other, there is rising anxiety that the presence of an armed federal force in cities is actively making daily life less safe for people who live there.
As a result, what was once an issue that Mr. Trump could rely on as a political asset — winning over even some of his skeptics — has now curdled into a tragic debacle. Americans are seeing horrifying video clips of clashes with ICE agents that instill a sense of fear, not of immigrants, but of their own government.

Well, duh!

It was stolen by billionaire oligarchs and tech dude bros who threw the switch to fascism. The four horsemen - Musk, Zuckerberg, Ellison, and Bezos, are out to do nothing but enrich their already ill gotten gains. Anyone find it suspicious that Elon Musk's net worth doubled since Fuckface took office? Or how a mega merger was blocked in favor so Ellison could benefit while selling shares of this new conglomerate to people who legitimately want to kill us? Let's face facts - the Saudi oligarchs and especially Muhammad Bin Salmon - are *NOT*, nor will they ever be our friends. Jamal Kashoogi got way too close to the truth about what these psychos were planning, and was brutally silenced by these scumbags before he could alert the world what they were up to.
My first alert that something was incredibly wrong in the election was when LA Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiongh and WaPo owner Jeff Bezos - hostily and maliciously denied their papers' endorsement of Harris. It was almost like they knew the outcome of the election before we did. And yet, the owners of these two papers got away with it.
The longer this plays out, the more it is evident that there was some extremely foul play in the 2024 election. It was brought to us by Fox News and the Heritage Foundation - two extremely evil organizations who must face justice.
