Nearly 20 percent of Trump’s supporters disapprove of Lincoln freeing the slaves

Question 49

5% of people strongly disapprove of freeing the slaves.

8% slightly disapprove.

Isn't that just a little scary?

Before asking about slavery, YouGov first asked two broader poll questions about executive orders: Do you approve of them, and do you think they're constitutional? Then they asked about specific presidential actions, including freeing the slaves, desegregating the military, interning Japanese Americans during World War II, and deferring deportation for some unauthorized immigrants.

Framing the question this way is a reminder that one of Lincoln's greatest acts, and a turning point in American history, was also a controversial exercise of presidential power. And it's stunning how many people can't bring themselves to say they approve of it.

Very Confusing to most people.

I understand what you're saying.

But then most people would say it doesn't matter how you abolish slavery, it was abolished.

How many people do you think have the presence of mind to say it would have been better to wait another 50 years for Congress to get around to doing it?

It's one of those things that is never done by Congress. There are far too many people in Congress representing people who just didn't want such things to happen.

Ending slavery, ending segregation, stopping bans on gay marriage were granted outside of Congress, only giving women the right to vote has passed with a Constitutional Amendment. The 14th Amendment only succeed because they forced Southern states to adopt it, or else get no Congressmen.

How many people do you think opposed the manner, but supported the action? I'd say not many.

I respectfully disagree.

The You.Gov poll was to the general population. Not Trump supporters. I'm on the link right now.

It's still dreadful Tiny...that people feel that way.....5% = approx. 18 Million Americans,steven

I'm not sure that portion of the population thinks it has anything to do with slavery.

Perhaps they think it just thinks the president has no right to decide those matters. Aren't the laws, especially laws that were written into the Constitution, a matter for the elected representatives to decide.

When the office of the president is given that much power, it becomes dangerous.


Why do folks think it is dreadful that some people think limiting the power of the presidency is "dreadful?"



I think dictatorships and monarchies are dreadful.

We saw in a South Carolina poll that Trump supporters are more xenophobic, homophobic and racist than the rest of the SC Republicans. This should come as a surprise to no one.

Only you saw that.... because that is what you want to see.

It's available for anyone to see:

Trump's support in South Carolina is built on a base of voters among whom religious and racial intolerance pervades. Among the beliefs of his supporters:

-70% think the Confederate flag should still be flying over the State Capital, to only 20% who agree with it being taken down. In fact 38% of Trump voters say they wish the South had won the Civil War to only 24% glad the North won and 38% who aren't sure. Overall just 36% of Republican primary voters in the state are glad the North emerged victorious to 30% for the South, but Trump's the only one whose supporters actually wish the South had won.
-

By an 80/9 spread, Trump voters support his proposed ban on Muslims entering the United States. In fact 31% would support a ban on homosexuals entering the United States as well, something no more than 17% of anyone else's voters think is a good idea. There's also 62/23 support among Trump voters for creating a national database of Muslims and 40/36 support for shutting down all the mosques in the United States, something no one else's voters back. Only 44% of Trump voters think the practice of Islam should even be legal at all in the United States, to 33% who think it should be illegal. To put all the views toward Muslims in context though, 32% of Trump voters continue to believe the policy of Japanese internment during World War II was a good one, compared to only 33% who oppose it and 35% who have no opinion one way or another.

Trump, Clinton Still Have Big SC Leads

And you have the leftist elites fear mongering to thank for these attitudes.

Also, the bullshit programming in prime time that is completely antithetical to the lives lived by ordinary Americans that has been shoved down their throats for the last thirty years. The MSM reflect a teeny tiny fraction of America, NOT the majority.

Why should any of this reaction be a surprise? If you don't like it, lobby Hollywood to change their bullshit propaganda. But don't look for it, we all know who controls the content in Hollywood. Thus, look for these reactions to continue.


Starting with shows like Friends and Will & Grace in the 90's, both TV and movies started to change, and push a new narrative, a new dynamic in the culture that only continued to the decline of American civilization. The Brady Bunch, Happy Days, the Beaver, Andy and Opie are now a thing of the past.

Back in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's, when the TV and movies reflected mainstream Americana, you did not see these attitudes.

Now, this is the culture you get. Discord, distrust and anger dividing the population are the rule of the day. When folks feel the communities they are raising their children in are no longer their own, they are going to hit the streets and react to what they see as a threat.

I've got to wonder how many of Trump supporter would support the " the idea that a majority of the African-American population should leave the United States and settle in Africa or Central America"

This shows you why the left is so uninformed when it comes to politics. they go to sites that lies to them, spreads nothing but hate for their agenda and is just downright nasty. this poll is stupid and unbelievable anyone would answer such stupid questions. well maybe the folks at Vox would.

 

[Rexx Taylor]

why are we even bringing up slavery as if it finally died off in the 90's,,,,well, thats according to Joe Biden. apparently he was a child during the slavery years.

Because, the left/Dems haven't DIVIDED us enough for their "visions" to become reality. so they need to keep bringing up slavery. to keep the people riled up even though those today weren't INVOLVED in it. that's how sick that party is to keep, race baiting for their purpose.

Lincoln didn't free all the slaves. Some he allowed to become property of the democrat party..as voting slaves. They live in slave neighborhoods like Ferguson and get free shit in return for their vote. Others he did free. They are living in integrated neighborhoods...loved by their neighbors....and living as free, productive Americans.
