The poll finds 35% of Americans approve of the way Musk is handling his job in the Trump administration
35% of people are liars or idiots
He's on my team so I'm obligated to cheer for him.
Also I've shoved my head so far up right wing media's anus that all I hear is the long slow fart of "He's making America great again!"
Plenty of smart honest people believe hair brained bullshit entirely because their media diet has been totally captured.
If it took this long to cotton on, the entire American public needs to be issued helmets just to be allowed to perform basic human functions.
lol. try passing THAT law. you think congress is going to provide funding so that idiots don't hurt themselves? they won't even let them learn to read any more!
Why tf do we have obscenely euphemistic headlines like this? Everyone knows this is about destroying our system of governance so musk and his shitbois can pillage, exploit, and enslave. There is nothing remotely legitimate about what has happened to America.
Everyone
I wish
I’m increasingly critical of my parents beating the shit out of me as a child and then saying that it hurt them more than it hurt me. I found that I had negative reactions to when my body slammed against the wall and was skeptical that I would survive when I then fell four feet onto my stomach, smashing my favorite toy car and briefly passing out.
A poll finds 35% of me approves of the way I’ve turned out, while 57% of me disapproves of having been beaten and thrown around as a child. Negative ratings of my upbringing are up from 49% before I started writing this comment.
We are living in a fucking abusive nightmare and, while I get that it's important to track sentiment if we want to change hearts and minds, but why the media still talking about this shit like it's perfectly normal??
the way Musk is handling his job in the Trump administration
Fucking seriously??? "Handling his job"??? What job role is he filling?! What's his official capacity??!! He's not doing "his job," he's partaking in a dictatorial coup. Last I checked, "Data Destroying Deporter" wasn't a governmental job title, so quit talking about it like it is!
Ask the right questions! I want to see a poll with what percentage of Americans are aware that Elon's cronies got access to the nuclear codes, threatened other employees, are destroying every means of funding for our nation's elderly and most vulnerable, and are building centralized databases to create a Big Brother government with zero accountability. After that, tell me how many people approve.
I then fell four feet onto my stomach, smashing my favorite toy car and briefly passing out.
This broke my heart. I wish this didn’t happen to you.
He isnt even trying to stop waste and fraud, but even if he were: "The optimal amount of fraud is non-zero"
I enjoyed this little reminder of how the real world isnt binary.
Maybe if he told us what the plan is we could see it. This plan LOOKS like "destroy EVERYTHING".
Every normal person in the country has been freaking the f out this whole time. It's still breaks my heart what has become of this paper.
Oh weird, I misread that as public being skeptical of the idea of Elon's life expectancy projecting forward beyond Q4 2025.
Hah!
What a silly mistake I made!
Oh we all passed skeptical a long time ago. Dude is just making up numbers, scrapping databases and misunderstanding legacy code. All while throwing up the Nazi arm. Musk is nothing more than a fascist fraud.
Americans aren’t feeling the hurt yet. Once they start to feel what these jobs did, then people are going to get angry.
The shit hasn’t rolled all the way down the hill yet.
