A majority of Americans say President Trump is a “dangerous dictator” who poses a threat to democracy and believe he’s overstepped his authority by actions such as the mass firing of federal employees, a new survey says.

The wide-ranging poll released Tuesday, on Trump’s 100th day in office, is the latest sign of him losing support for his immigration and economic policies — the two issues that largely fueled his election.

    So roughly 70% of sane Americans recognize we’re living under a dictator and yet we do hardly anything in revolt. Do they not realize that by the time the gas chambers are on our soil it’ll be too late?

        It would be more accurate to say that not enough is being done, and we should try and figure out why it is and how to fix it

        Yeah the protests is why I said “hardly anything” as opposed to nothing, because while they ARE happening I’m a bit more results driven and have yet to see any.

            It’s easy to be cynical. I do it all the time. But an autocrat with 20% approval is much, much different than one with 80% approval.

            If nothing else, protests and direct action made Elon Musk sad and that’s a side quest complete.

      “Not all Americans.” Not yet enough Americans, of course, but there are dozens of us. DOZENS!
