More than half of Americans, including one in four Republicans, think President Donald Trump is “too closely aligned” with Russia, as he radically realigns U.S. foreign policy, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows.

    It’s great to be still getting 2016 news in 2025. You guys are all like “the media had no attention span”

        I want to believe, but so long as ‘the right people’ are getting hurt, the average trumpanzee will be too busy cheering to notice they’re locked in the same gas chamber.

        There’s some buyer’s remorse for sure, but I don’t think it’s nearly as prevalent as it’s sometimes indicated.

        My takeaway is the republicans are the 'do something’s people and the Dems are more the hippie ‘say something’ people. The former voters fall in line come election time, but let the politicians say all kinds of shit, but the latter voters complain and virtue signal a lot, but expect someone else to do the ‘doing’ part. Only the latter politicians aren’t doing much, so it’s all hot air top to bottom.

    Jaysus. 12% of this country thinks that we should control Gaza for tourism.

    And the other ideas, JFC. They are even higher. WTF.

    I mean, it’s like no one fucking remembers Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan? What about Russia’s Afghanistan, or FFS, their experience with Ukraine right now? I mean, even forgetting about the morality of it, these things tend not to work out.

      Apparently not, I have seen MAGAites seriously advocating for an invasion of Mexico or advocating for an invasion of Iran.

        I used to joke about invading Mexico about a decade ago because of how preposterous it was. My family really thought it was a good idea then, and they have gone full MAGA since.

          I recently replayed the story of GTA5, and some of the jokes they were making in 2013 are reality now. “Invading Canada for water” comes to mind, and the “detained illegal immigrants using their one phone call to call their home country to warn people to stay the fuck out of the US because it’s worse here” also hits kinda hard.

    I won’t give my own opinion on this (I will only get downvoted to oblivion and many already know my opinion). What I will say is, was this not obvious?

      this is one of those polls where I’m deeply concerned that the number of worried americans is not much much higher.

      ‘the system is broken’

      ‘the candidates are equivalent’

      ‘i have no good choice, so I must make none’

      ‘a war is happening that I don’t agree with, and I won’t vote because my feels, even if the other guy said he’d destroy my country’

      ‘…’

      Idiots.

        All of this. So much this. It’s infuriating. It’s even more infuriating when so many of them are even still so fucking pious about their terrible take. I mean, those with magabrain were going to be stupid and vote for this, everyone knows that. It’s the people that should know better, but just have to be contrarians for funsies and self-bestowed moral brownie points that are nearly as bad.

          I’ve been disappointed lately to see how many of these (useful) idiots are still here on Lemmy peddling this bullshit. I can’t tell if they’re in denial, or if they just never believed any of it in the first place.

          Shit is infuriating.

    Wait… Didn’t the same idiots argue the 2 candidates were equivalent? Getting some strange messaging from the us recently…

    /s because people like to pick fights on things they don’t understand
