The first step to recovery is recognizing you’ve got a problem.

The real question is how many of that 51% are happy about it.

Sadly yes because it shows most americans havent lost their fuckin minds

it’s probably fine

TO BE FAIR, I'd be curious how many actually know what a constitutional crisis is.

Do they also realize that this is not only a "constitutional crisis” but a terrorist attack on America, a terrorist attack from within, with countless lives destroyed, innumerable wounded and dead?

And about 20% of such will still somehow find some fucking way to blame it on transgender people, despite that being the biggest and most obvious strategy is distracting from the coup in broad daylight.

I think there’s a good percentage of those people who believe that the constitutional crisis we’re in is anyone BUT Trump’s fault. These freaks are so addicted to being losers that they can’t even take the biggest W in recent history

It’s a bit effing late And there’s 4 years to go

probably in the long run yes

Dijon mustard ON A HOTDOG?!!!!

I mean, that is what is happening so it's good that people are able to recognize it.

The bad part is they found all those fascists and let them get away

clearly we are in a constitutional crisis, but how many of those "yes" votes think that the constitution doesn't give trump *enough* power?

This government does not have the consent of the governed.

I think it's bad that that number is as low as it is

They lost when they decided that zionism was more important than patriotism. They needed all the volunteers who said "I won't volunteer if you keep bombing children". Not just as voters, but as active and enthusiastic volunteers.

It would have involved letting the left be correct about something and have a say in our collective future, and establishment Democrats would rather die.

Cut to the chase: (1) Trump defies Courts and acts anyway = Constitutional Crisis; (2) Trump is given Green Light by Court = Constitutional Crisis. In scenario 2 the Court abdicates the Constitution, thus sealing its role as irrelevant...

Awesome

This is a bit like asking "is it good that over half the people think the room is on fire?" If the room is, in fact, in fire, the number is worryingly low but it's good that at least a majority can agree on it

nah that's fine

i don't think we're in a constitutional crisis. i think it's much worse. and i don't think anyone is responding appropriately.

I keep seeing things like "If he takes one more move, we'll be in a constitutional crisis!" ??? We were in a constitutional crisis the moment he was allowed to even run again?

yes

Probably?

Only 51%? That seems low

@ec.europa.eu please remember to actually hold all corporations that supported this accountable after whatever happens in the world from this. Weak leaders taking grift from lobbyists got us here. It is what happened to Germany in the 20s as well. We're here-ish. www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/gui...

This. I hate that question. Nearly everyone thinks the country is on the wrong track, but what's wrong and why, that's what counts.

Yes.

well better than full denial

I'd like to know what sort of fantasy world the 30% is living in.

Its not good, but it is accurate.

Yes

I’m honestly wondering if polling needs to account for the fact that a full 30-35% of americans don’t follow politics or give a shit what happens. So maybe all polling showing 50% of americans think something should really say 33% of americans think something.

i mean that's not what a constitutional crisis is, and it's pretty normal to have these - it's just america that's weird

That’s lowkey an encouraging number

Classically, countries have always stayed stable with large populations of angry, hungry, overqualified, and unemployed people.

In the short-term no. In the long-term... 50/50?

Oh it's definitely not good! But it's more like "half of US thinks we are definitely having an ARGUMENT about the legitimacy of the state". (True!) If we just don't HAVE a legitimate state anymore then the crisis is aready over and done with! Or something like that.

At this point in time, perhaps Might help unify the people

Hmm, I'd like to know why they think that. Is there a version that goes "if yes, because Trump is illegitimately trying to make himself king, or because Trump should make himself king faster?"

Eh fuck those polling Twitter accounts.

Yes actually.

The other 21% are just constantly screaming

New record, baby!

Doesn't matter until a significant number are willing to do something about it. Who cares about opinions? The important stat is 'likelihood of starting throwing molotovs in the next six months'.

And there is nothing that will ever sway that 30%. They are fucking lost.

51% is now considered a divine mandate that allows for the consolidation of power into one branch of government.

What’s wrong with the 30% that DON’T we’re in a constitutional crisis?

Oh hey I remember answering this one on yougov.

No, not if they won’t do anything about it.

BASED

Frightening so. People think I’m overreacting when I tell them our government is being dismantled.

I am alarmed that it's not more people who think it's been utterly compromised.

the state should act legitimately if it wants morale to improve

second question: "do you know what that means?" YES: 15% NO: 85%

Republicans for National Renewal sounds suspiciously like they want to be the New Founding Fathers

Now you know where another fascist lives

Honestly, at this point? I AM unsure if the purge would be bad or not!

Working towards a Reichstag fire. All going to plan.

Did the other 19% just shrug and say “I don’t know/care”?

Extremely good. Means half of us are aware of wtf is going on

A fun thing to do is imagine where these numbers will be in a month. It could be literally any combination, who knows anymore

Yes. Recognizing reality is good.

I mean, factually we’ve been in one for a while. I think the better question is, is it good that 49% deny reality?

Yeah, makes the odds better that a potential rebellion against the government would succeed

Y’know I prefer that to all this shit happening and everyone just ignoring it. Didn’t realize democrat consultants made up 30% of the population though.

“It’s still to indecision for us to really fight against this. Maybe once it gets to 95%.” ~DNC

I dunno, is anything real anymore?
