To be clear, at this point the majority of Americans do not support the current administration. So blaming it on the American government is more apt.

Majority supports the immigration agenda though.

  That's not clear. The problems and the agenda don't align. Majority definitely supports fixing the problems, but the political leadership clearly supports keeping things dysfunctional. Remember that the US Congress was ready to pass legislation to solve before the last election, and Trump made them stop it so he could campaign on the problems.

    About half support more raids and more ICE. 37% approve illegal deportations to El Salvador. Not a majority, but a shoking approval for literally illegal, both domestically and internationally, operations. General Trump disapproval is barely over 50%. These reflect a widespread rot in the culture, not just a rogue administration. https://www.economist.com/interactive/trump-approval-tracker https://www.economist.com/interactive/trump-approval-tracker https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2025/06/17/americans-have-mixed-to-negative-views-of-trump-administration-immigration-actions/ https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2025/06/17/americans-ha...

The majority voted for this government... They don't get to wash their hands of it just because some people later changed their minds.

  Not even a majority of voters, let alone the whole population, voted for the current President.

If a little less than half the people on the street hated you, would you feel comfortable walking that street?

> To be clear, at this point the majority of Americans do not support the current administration At the very least, the majority of Americans certainly condoned the current administration at the polling booth - or couch. The Trump campaign can't be accused of not being up-front with its agenda.

  A plurality of those who voted, you mean.

    Choosing not to vote when you're eligible is a statement in itself - which why I referred to the couch.

While I feel like many across the world realize this, unfortunately it doesn't make them any safer while they're here. Moreover, the most extreme haters of outsiders feel empowered by the current regime, adding to the risk.
