Shocking Gallup survey finds 60% of Dems are anti-Israel — first time ever for major US political party
https://nypost.com/2025/02/27/us-news/g ... ti-israel/
Took them a long time to open their eyes. :shock:

In any case, "unfavourable", which is the term used in the Gallup poll, is not the same as "anti", which is the term used by the hysterical Post and Declan.

For example, I am unfavourable towards the Indian cricket team, but I am not anti them.

Well, I'm only unfavorable towards Declan BUT definitely ANTI cricket, across the board, after this BS in 2018 and events during the following years. Can't be bothered with it:-

There's a chap on LALTM who has suggested that the policies of Trump's America are preparing the country for a wartime economy.

SURVEY: 55% Of Self-Identified Leftists Say Killing Trump Is Justifiable
https://thefederalist.com/2025/04/07/s ... stifiable/
Less than a year after assassination attempts on then-presidential candidate Trump and the literally explosive violence against Musk’s Tesla electric vehicles, it’s no secret that leftists are ratcheting up violent rhetoric and actions. The more troubling trend is that an “assassination culture” isn’t just coming from the “fringe” left.

“These attitudes are not fringe — they reflect an emergent assassination culture, grounded in far-left authoritarianism and increasingly normalized in digital discourse,” states the report, titled, “Assassination Culture: How Burning Teslas and Killing Billionaires Became a Meme Aesthetic for Political Violence.”
The 21st century Democact is Leftist. They're not liberal. They're not progressive. They're not democratic. They're not independent. They are immoral, authoritarian, oppressive and totalitarian. And that fully encompasses fascism, socialism, Nazism, communism and Marxism. They're all Leftists.
Here are some of the troubling numbers, according to the report:

Murder Justification: 31% and 38% of respondents stated it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk and President Trump, respectively. (These effects were largely driven by respondents that self-identified as left of center, with 48% and 55% at least somewhat justifying murder for Elon Musk and President Trump, respectively, indicating significantly higher justification for violence against these figures.)

Property Destruction: Nearly 40% of respondents (39.8%) stated it is at least somewhat acceptable (or more) to destroy a Tesla dealership in protest.

Psychological/Ideological Correlations with Assassination Culture: These beliefs are highly correlated with one another, as well as with the justification of the murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO and hyper-partisan left-wing ideology. (This suggests that support for violence is part of a broader assassination culture, underpinned by psychological and ideological factors.)
21st century Democrats:
- seize your assets
- criticize and minimize your achievements
- overregulate your commerce
- restrict enterprise
- murder infants in the womb
- indoctrinate your children
- lie to you to gain power
- threaten those who reject them
- destroy as a means of political retaliation
- engage in voter fraud
- invoke tyranny and oppression to infringe upon your God-given Rights and Individual Liberty.

They create chaos, mayhem and hysteria to gain political advantage.

And Democrats will burn your city to the ground if there's something -- even a lawful action -- they don't like.

How do we know all these things? We have witnessed it in real time.

Yup. Whenever I want a completely unshaded view of what the American Democrat party stands for, I go straight to the oracle, straight to The Federalist.

Am I right, or am I Right?

PS: You missed "engage in reckless lawfare against opposition candidates"

There, sorted it for you.

Jeez, while I am a firm believer in the fact that extreme left and extreme right are both just the same puppet dressed in different clothes your point that it's only the left are extreme is just absolute garbage.
It wasn't left wingers who invaded Washington all tooled up with the latest military style weaponry was it.
Just a bit of consistent logical discussion would be welcome rather than just anti-everything but the Trump would be welcome

Do you think that you might back off the generalizations a bit, please? After all, 55% is hardly all of them. I don't advocate killing Trump, and while I don't think that I'm particularly easy to pigeonhole politically, I am a leftist on some issues (and, actually, somewhere to the right of Atilla on others).

Does anyone know how many 5 million dollar gold cards Trump has sold thus far?

And does that money go to Trump or the US government? Asking for a friend.

Two female losers conspiring to keep the Democrats unelectable? They should just bite the bullet and let AOC and Bernie have a crack at it.
