A new poll has revealed changing attitudes to Trump from his Republican supporters.

One in three Republican voters would have preferred a different candidate to Donald Trump for the upcoming presidential election.

In March, the former president won enough primary races to secure the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential election.

However, according to a survey of 1,003 Americans by Canadian polling firm Leger, Trump does not command the full support of his base and 33 percent of this demographic would have preferred another politician. Meanwhile, this proportion is higher (47 percent) among Republican voters aged 18 to 34 years old.

    The Democrats are representative of the liberal establishment, which controls the bureaucracy, the culture makers, social media, etc.

    HAHAHA - shit Dmitry, you need new material man. The culture makers? FFS.

    Here - in America, where we live - the “liberal establishment” makes approximately 10% of the “culture” in most of the southern and midwestern states. (A state is like a small country here.)

        If you’re equating culture with movies and . . . Broadway? Then, uh, yeah I guess? To a large extent movies and Broadway and televised advertisement appeal to and thus reflect some liberal positions, sure. In a necessarily very non-threatening, centrist kind of way.

        But that manufactured media of movies, tv, Broadway shows and the rest is an input to the actual culture in which humans usually live, and it ain’t liberal in a lot of the swing states. Turns out, there’s plenty not-liberal movies, tv, and . . . okay maybe not Broadway, ya got me there.

        Liberal elite media establishment - thats some Russia Today language, man. Or Fox News. Same thing, I guess.

        Also the south is where all the music came from, and the midwest made it possible. So, culture production ftw.

            The above was written by Chat.GPT. Just in case you think I’m making up terms.

            lol. Glad I didn’t read it. Gonna leave you to it now.

                I’m not the one getting a phrase generator to write my arguments then accusing the other of being a non participant.

                    You agree that defining terms is important to the argument - and then you get your definitions from ChatGPT? That’s ridiculous.

                    you, like all liberal/progressives in 2024, won’t actually argue the point, You’re just be pedantic and argue definitions.

                    You’re just being pedantic. See, “being” is the present participle, you’ve mistakenly used the infinitive form of be which would require a modal such as will, can, would, could, etc.

                    Just kidding. Okay, so what’s your “real argument” and if you’re not a “liberal/progressive”, what are you?

                    Assuming your “real argument” is “the media is liberal” then we need two definitions to start: media and liberal. If you want to have that argument, get the definitions you want from the dictionary. Merriam-Webster or OED are fine, others might work, depending.

                    Because that’s what you are, a thoughtless bigot, incapable of making real arguments, because your entire worldview is founded on emotion and indoctrination.

                    Ha! Prove it. Make your argument, your thesis statement, starting with a real definition, not some ChatGPT spew.

            There is no “centrist” position in the culture war. The left has embraced queer theory as central to its cultural values, and queer theory is necessarily completely and totally opposed to the traditional Christian values that have been the bedrock of Western civilization for 1600 years. The one must necessarily destroy the other.

            Hmm.
