To be clear, the public is squarely with Pritzker: A new CBS surveyfinds that 58 percent of Americans oppose Trump’s National Guard deployments.
This number makes me feel a deep shame for my country. 58%? That’s all? That’s the cap on the number of people who see fascist military action happening in their own country and are shocked and disgusted?
What if nothing happened and you were always, collectively, idiots who wanted to live in a fascist dictatorship and this whole two party charade was kept up because a few people happened to draft a constitution that was somehow too embarrassing to just ignore or reject even for a country that prides itself on ignoring and rejecting civilization.
Bottom of the article: “This CBS News/YouGov survey was conducted with a nationally representative sample of 2,441 U.S. adults interviewed between October 1-3, 2025. The sample was weighted to be representative of adults nationwide according to gender, age, race, and education, based on the U.S. Census American Community Survey and Current Population Survey, as well as 2024 presidential vote. The margin of error is ±2.3 points.” The methodology from YouGov is at this link: https://today.yougov.com/about/panel-methodology. Not sure how much I trust these kinds of results, and its very difficult to determine their reflection of reality, especially given the various motivating incentives to the respondents including monetary and political incentives to being on their ‘panel’.
