I feel majority of americans are in some sort of collective self destructive delusion. Thats the only way you can explain trump presidency - people didn't vote for him, they voted for self harm because they're sick.

Lol, what? No, we don't say he's gone too far. We say he's a criminal who shouldn't be in office in the first fucking place. Get the fuck out of here with your standard political opposition speak.
Does anyone really think the US isn't a one-party authoritarian state at this point?
Don't count on an election.
I'm baffled that some people still seem to presume this will end with the next election
At this point, he's just an embarrassment. We need to hold him accountable and the world needs to stop censoring what's really happening.
I really feel that this latest poll will finally start the fire that burns his "Whitehouse of doom" down. /s
Slightly negative poll numbers + strongly-worded letter = REVOLUTION!
Let us take a moment to appreciate that this reporting is coming from a news website out of Alabama.
People say he's "Gone too far" because if we say what we really think we "Get a visit from the FBI."
Don't worry, once they gain control over the last few independent news outlets and restructure social media algorithms they'll be able to manipulate public perception to the point where they have broad public support. Especially when the ai bots wear the opposition out by convincing them they're alone in their left wing views. Tech bros are ready to destroy democracy for profit.
Dear anyone who voted for Trump: we fucking told you so.
That poll primarily shows that a good third of the American public is still to dumb to understand what is happening.
In addition to "going too far", he's also too far gone.
Disastrous poll shows Trump’s White House return is a ‘failure’: Americans say he’s ‘gone too far’ .. and then added "but whatcha gunna do? I'm sure someone else will save us."
There's a literal post right now begging for the US to be invaded and its full of americans cracking the shits at people telling them to grow the fuck up and fix their own problems
Does reading a "trump low in the polls" article or two every day make you feel better or optimistic?

Fuckin' big media. Continually bobbing cat toys up and down just above our heads so we swipe like fools. Bring back truthful journalism again, not big media.
Hes just plain stupidly evil. Even without comparing him to sunnier folks and times, he represents thr dregs of humanity
Americans say he’s ‘gone too far’
Let me know when they stop saying things and start doing them.
