Two-thirds of Americans say that the country is “pretty seriously off on the wrong track,” while just under a third say the country is moving in the right direction, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel.
Overall, Americans seem unhappy and anxious, with a slim majority saying the economy has gotten worse since President Donald Trump took office and majorities saying that both major parties and the president are out of touch. A majority of Americans are also growing increasingly concerned over the government shutdown.
If most Americans feel this way, why didn’t they go out and vote against it to prevent it from happening? Seems like most Americans wanted this and should shut the fuck up and spend every day enjoying the very things voted for.
I can tell ya, most folks thought it didn’t matter. They gave zero fucks. I was always met with “I don’t care about politics.” And it’s like ya? Well, politics care about you. And not in the good way.
