Half the country sees former President Donald Trump as a fascist, amplifying concerns raised in recent days by Vice President Kamala Harris and past members of Trump’s own administration. Far fewer in a new ABC News/Ipsos poll level the same charge against Harris.
Nearly two-thirds also say Trump often departs from the truth, again more than say so about Harris. But Harris gets more criticism than Trump for pandering for votes by promoting policies she doesn’t intend to carry out – underscoring challenges for both candidates as the fur flies in their increasingly heated presidential race.
The fact that it’s only half is mind boggling
Remember that ~40% have been told that fascism, communism, socialism, and the Democratic party are all the same for the last 40+ years by “news” organisations.
That’s what makes their messaging so effective. They just mislabel all sorts of shit so words lose all meaning.
My understanding from my remaining MAGA friend is that they’re fed a steady diet of “liberals believe crazy theories” all day long from all the sources they’re allowed. e.g. if liberals believe a thing there’s absolutely no way it can be true.
Now the fact that this circumvents reason and agency are (apparently) irrelevant.

JFC this is way too low.
Such a softball way of putting it. More like “lies every time he breathes”.
Even the softball way can’t get 2/3!
And yet a good chunk of that 2/3 is willing to vote for him anyways.
The problem is that half of America likes fascism.
Fascism thrives on establishing an “In” group that has all the power and all the rights, and an “Out” group that gets nothing but suffering and is scapegoated for everything. You can guess which group that half thinks they’ll be a part of.
This. Half of America likes fascist ideas, but don’t want to to support THE WORD “fascism” since that’s a bad word. Fucking idjits.

You can’t fight fascism with fascism. 😒

You really can’t, because once they killed off the conservatives they’d move on to a new target to kill off. Fascism is a project that can’t ever be finished, it always requires new enemies to exterminate.

Tell that to history.
This would be big news if having a majority actually mattered.
The other half lick his boots
The other half is stupid
So every Democrat voter basically and no Republican voter sees him as one.
Not quite every Democratic voter as it’s only 50%. Every Democrat and a majority of independents said he lies since that was 2/3rds and a bit over 30% of the population are Republicans with another about 10% being made up of right leaning independents.
and the half that dont cant even spell fascist
And the other half love him for it.
… Yet a good chunk will vote for him anyway, because they think Trump is hurting the right people.
The other half don’t have a clue that they are fing our country long term. It’s a funny joke to them
