I think these things get seen as “people in America are 33% happy with him, mostly not” when it’s really “2 out of 3 people gave a rational answer on a survey that was likely collected online”.
For one, dictator types and cults of personality will always have something like 15% die hard fans that won’t believe anything negative about their dear leader. People are like that. They get swept up in a wave of jingoistic pride and start to believe this one guy thinks how they do and will solve the problems they face. And it’s so bad he’s willing to use violence, and he’s the only one who’s willing to go there.
In the US too, we particularly weaponized Fox News so that they can raise that 15% number a bit higher… Anyone saying anything bad about him is considered fake news, don’t trust anything you hear, etc. I would not be surprised if they fostered a jingoistic 25% here.
Some of those votes are people who are batshit crazy accelerationists who will vote for the most terrible choice to cause as much chaos as possible, polling and voting.
Some of those votes are people fucking with the system and just saying the name because it causes drama and it’s probably an online poll that doesn’t mean shit.
Then some of those votes are just people not understanding wtf they’re reading because they’re idiots.
Add it all up and I don’t think he can go lower, even if you literally showed a video of him eating a baby with Epstein.

There’s still women dancing outside the NXVM guy’s prison window.
