It's disheartening that the other half thinks otherwise

That other 35% has been facebooked into believing everything the orange shithead says is true.

Yes, Trump still has at least 35% of Americans duped on every subject. We know.

These ones that say "half" are especially useless. Don't even bother publishing if it's less than 3/4 should be the rule. And, don't pay much attention if it's less than 85%, because we got here with only half, and nothing has changed with only 65%.

You're not wrong but this is also very bad.

The fastest way to get someone to care about something is when it effects their pocketbook.

stock market is up because overvalued AI keeps buying overvalued AI from overvalued AI. once people realize it's all smoke and mirrors, govt will step in and bail out AI with YOUR tax moneys

You need to get a mortgage to buy a happy meal and half of America still thinks nothing has changed?

It's the half that still hopes it can become millionaires in their lifetimes

Hey anything is possible. Like, one day I might grow wings and be able to turn water into surge.

[–] lostdignity@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 months ago

The other half voted for him. Nothing changed.

Polls. Another way to give up on journalism.

"america is brimming with uneducated and mentally afflicted individuals"

For not being in a pandemic, yeah, it's pretty bad. And getting worse.

This is what happens when you vote for the party that all data tracked over time proves is bad for our economy.

Or don't vote. Or vote for insert candidate that can't win. Since doing those things helps Republicans win.
