"Sick and tired and too damned old to put up with morons. Have blocked brad and dic/nuts. I am too damned tired to deal with morons who refuse to face the reality of our fucked up situation."
The US has a big problem though. Despite all the resistance you see here on D* and Bluesky that might lead you to believe a revolution is imminent, a lot of Americans think Trump is doing a great job:
As of 5 March 2025:
At present, 47.9% of Americans disapprove of Trump, while 47.6% approve of the president, according to FiveThirtyEight.
Trump is more popular than at a comparable point in his first term, but on something of a downslope, at a 48 percent approval rating and a similar 47.5 percent disapproval rating.

Super sad #truth. Amazing, scary, hard for some (sentient/'woke') to believe, but... Note this "new American flag" (center/blue: "2nd Amendment" on 'plate')
Meanwhile, as for 2nd Amendment being a darling new-ish sacrament, while guns have always been a mainstream religion in the U.S., it's perhaps reaching a new level of presence. Case in point, seen in a park a few weekends ago (in FL, natch)
And my 2nd reaction: What?! No Confederate Flag? Nah... It's all American!

Americans are no where near ready to fix this yet. It is going to take a lot more time and pain first.
You can also note that ABC News has shut down FiveThirtyEight on 5 March 2025, which was a great source of aggregate polling data on the US. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/05/abc-news-538-shut-down
