Who or what might stop Trump from further digging the deep hole he is already in?

86% of Trump 2024 voters approve of Trump’s war on Iran, …– Michael TraceyI don’t know who this bull$h!#er is but his “poll” doesn’t link anywhere and it’s almost 50 points off of any other poll. Posted by: S Brennan | Mar 6 2026 16:58 utc | 109Tracey is just Mr. Contrarían imo. The master of the “hot takes”. Like Trump he understands the money to be made by simply pissing people off. Totally insignificant commentator. You lose nothing by simply ignoring his existence.

I would post more polls but I don’t think anyone actually bothers engaging with evidence that contradicts their world view. Plus, I don’t want to run afoul of b’s limit of five links per comment. For what it’s worth, I think the progressive liberals (as opposed to the conservative liberals—MAGA Republicans/Republicans/Conservatives) are simply better at lying about their preferences. Kamala Harris was open about her intent to fully back the genocide in Gaza, yet her supporters had no issue voting for her and demanding that others do the same. In an alternate reality where Kamala Harris is the president, then you’d see the typical progressive liberal expressing lukewarm support for the Gazan genocide by loudly protesting, loudly telling pollsters that they disapprove of it while still tacitly and materially allowing it to continue.
