Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Either fake polls, or these people are absolutely fucking insane.
It's insane, I heard that those that are here legally are apparently very against illegal immigration (frankly also not that hard to believe).
The thing is that with this administration who is here legally and who is not is very loosely defined.
Funny that shows those being polled just like his hatred considering even trmp is pissed at his own low deportation numbers.
It's probably real but given that his approval rating just dipped, this is just cherry picking data.
Or scared to answer the phone
I remember before the election, there were polls that said Trump was rising. Lemmy said "fake polls!" and "No way! This is propaganda!" And um, look what happened...
EDIT: Then Trump gets elected, Lemmy has shocked face, and can't understand how it was possible. Because there are a lot of people on Lemmy who refuse to listen to outside information if it doesn't fit their narrative. And they're outright hostile to anyone who talks against that narrative as well. So I believe the polls.
You do realize Lemmy is not a monolithic entity, right?
And you do realize that Lemmy has a very very large majority of people who are anti-conservative, right? So when people talk about Lemmy in the scenario I noted, it's taken to mean the majority. And in this case, I mean the vast vast vast majority.
I don't know and I don't care. I'm not on the same server as you are. That's my point.
And regardless of your server, the vast vast majority of Lemmy swings left. I wasn't talking about individual servers, I was talking about the vast majority of Lemmy. That's my point.
What's your evidence?
