    All of Trump’s key policies received majority support except for renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, with deportation of illegal immigrants who have committed crimes (81%), eliminating fraud and waste in government expenditures (76%), and closing the border (76%) as the top three most supported policies.

    Surely the proletariat will express their disgust with fascism any day now, we just had to Teach The Dems™ first. Any day now.

      Ah, I see what the article got wrong now. They think he actually wants to implement those policies instead of just being evil for no reason and using those as a guise.

      Did they ask about “siding with Russia over Ukraine”, or “Making peace in Ukraine in three weeks”? Yes framing matters, and obviously people support policies that are framed like “eliminating fraud and waste in government expenditure “. Wonder how that position is affected if you add the subclause “by kids that come straight out of high school “.

      I support deporting undocumented immigrants who commit a crime… for certain definitions of crime. I am not aware of anyone in my personal circle who would say that someone who bypassed asylum seeking to enter the country undocumented and then raped someone should be allowed to stay… the issue is that the administration considers all undocumented immigrants to be equally worthy of deportation while disallowing reasonable legal paths to immigrate.

      Due to the sematic bad faith tools in place it’s extremely difficult to actually gauge legitimate opinion since that wording evokes a particular ideation in conservatives and the administration exploits that mismatch to commit actions that most Americans find objectionable.

        So someone enters the country illegally, commits a crime, you want to just send them back? To do it all again? Rather than, you know, put them in jail for the crime?
