It's Feb 2026, and 49% of white people in the US approve of the way Trump is handling immigration.

In case you're thinking that means that a majority disapprove? Nope! 4% are "Not sure." Only 46% disapprove.🤡

Some of y'all really believed that the percent of white people that support ethnic cleansing would drop lower🤷🏿‍♂️.

In October it was 50%.

Who wants to bet if it will be closer to 51% or 47% in July?🔮🧙🏿‍♂️

That's +2% or -2% from 49%.

@mekkaokereke Not surprised about the whites but hispanics? He does not care if you like him, he wants you out. It doesn't matter if you got here "the right way" or you were born here. He wants you in a domestic concentration camp or some country likely unrelated to your ancestral country. We are currently dealing with MAGA hispanics trying to shift the conversation to bike lanes and traffic after fawning over ICE shortly before their attacks here in Chicago. This timeline is so frustrating.

Always surprising: half of all Hispanic people in the US, are white.

Adding to this .... Hispanic approval rising since the Fall (and over 30% total!) is wild.

Who are those people? They don't live in the mainstream of America, like California, Illinois, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Washington, New York or Oregon. That 49% are on the margins of society, the vestige of a way of life alien to American values of inclusion, diversity and welcoming of immigrants. We are the majority and our vision of America will prevail.

Unfortunately, yes they do. The only state with more Trump voters, is Texas. Most of the people that support Trump's ethnic cleansing policies live in big cities in Texas, California, and Florida.

I interact with them every day.

As often as I am able to, I test out the political leanings of service people I deal with. It's easier in some settings than others. Asking if there's a union/why not works well in a number of settings.
Responding to any version of how am I doing with, 'OK considering everything that's going on'. Just watching their reaction almost always tells me if they're with me, clueless or opposed.
If it's not a one & done situation, medical professionals for instance, I always poke.

To be fair, that's largely because there are so many people in those cities. Most large cities, regardless of geography, trend blue.

Yep, and having lived in California for over 30 years, I can assure you that there are plenty of Trump supporters living in this state.
