AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>In what would likely be a major scandal under any other administration, but feels a bit like a "well duh" moment after the first 100 days of the Trumpenreich's fascist rule, recent polling indicates that a majority of American voters now support impeaching President Trump a third time.</p><p><a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-impeachment-2025" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">commondreams.org/news/trump-im</span><span class="invisible">peachment-2025</span></a></p><p>Majority of US Voters Support Third Trump Impeachment: Poll</p><p>"Specifically, a polling memo published Friday by ASO Communications and Research Collaborative shows that just a few months into Trump's return to the White House, 52% of likely voters across the ideological spectrum somewhat or strongly support impeaching him—including 84% of Democrats, 55% of Independents, and even 20% of his fellow Republicans."</p><p>While I don't believe there's any amount of polling that will make the Trump regime surrender, and I remain doubtful a fascist GOP is likely to risk reprisal from Trump's hardcore nazi base in the party to impeach Der Leader, I still think it's pretty relevant that experiencing the reality of Trump's authoritarianism in action is driving a majority of Americans to desire his removal from office. </p><p>Much of Trump's presumed authority to install himself as a dictator comes from the regime's invocation of a popular mandate to transform America into a white ethnostate, as well as a complicit media's refusal to address a clear lack of that mandate while they focus on "will he or won't he" coverage of Trump's obviously fascist activities. As more and more evidence comes in that the regime's Christian Nationalist agenda is in fact not popular, and Americans do not believe Trump has the authority to enact it, it's going to become harder and harder for both the regime and collaborators in the mainstream establishment to keep pretending there might be a veneer of legality or popular support behind all the government's nazi bullshit. </p><p>In the end, I'm pretty sure there's no way to topple the Trump regime that doesn't involve putting millions of people in the street to actively disrupt the police state and make it impossible for the collaborator class to profit from all that fascism. By that same measure however, I don't think Americans are going to rise up and stop their fascist government until they're completely sure there are no easier options for ending Trump's reign of tyranny and they believe the majority of people in this country are ready to rise up with them. In my opinion, polls like this one help shatter the fascists' false projection of invincibility, and bring us closer to that uprising; and as such that makes these numbers a welcome sight for my exhausted eyes at least.</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Impeachment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Impeachment</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Polling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Polling</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AntiTrumpProtests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntiTrumpProtests</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GOP</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/RepublicanParty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RepublicanParty</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AlGreen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlGreen</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ShriThanedar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShriThanedar</span></a></p>
