The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" 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.

So keep up the Nazi stuff and please do keep dehumanizing half the country.

It's at best 1/3, last I knew. About 1/3 (a bit more than half of Republicans) were hard-core MAGA whackos. The rest of the Republicans don't want to burn it down, realize their guy lost (and accept it), were likely horrified by Jan 6, and just have differing opinions from the guy who won.

In that respect, we're fortunate we don't have a parliamentary system. The National Socialist Worker's Party only held about 1/3 of the seats at the Reichstag, but that was enough that they were key to forming a coalition to govern. And they got their guy Adolph in, as a result. We all know (or all should know) what happened after that. In our system, 1/3 isn't going to be enough to do that.

As long as MAGA dies on the vine, we'll be fine. Or at least as fine as we ever are. Honest disagreement is good, even if sometimes stressful and frustrating.

Last poll I saw says 58% of Reps support Trump. So, yeah...just over half. About 1/3 of Americans, in general.
