The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Yes. I have seen that poll before. Trump the God is only concerned with how his MAGA base sees it. Three quarters of his base is either OK with the current level of brutality, beatings, and shootings, or wants ICE to go harder.

More polling:

How bad was Alex Pretti’s killing for the Trump administration? New data tells us

(CNN poll) While 54% of Republicans said the use of force against Good was “necessary” back in mid-January, that number dropped all the way to 33% on Pretti’s killing.

(Another 24% of Republicans said the force against Pretti was “excessive,” while a plurality — 43% — said they weren’t sure.)

(Quinnipiac poll) And again, Republicans were the big movers. While 77% of them said the shooting of Good was “justified,” just 55% say the same of Pretti.

currently.att.yahoo.com - Two polls show alex pretti

Putting on MAGA hat to interpret results: See? The CNN poll shows 76% don't have a problem with Pretti being killed, and the Quinnipiac poll shows 55% endorse Pretti's killing. What Dems and Independents think doesn't matter, because our God and Savior Trump will prevent them voting, or prevent their votes being counted.
